"ControlUp has some good functionalities, such as remotely pushing scripts in the device through the tool."
"When using ControlUp, the core feature that we have found valuable is its UI. It is a valuable tool to view the analysis reactions of a base core Level 2 or Level 1 team so that they can complete the necessary troubleshooting."

"Its integration definitely stands out. It provides seamless monitoring of all our systems, services, apps, and whatever else we secure and monitor. Visualizations have become simpler with dashboards. We are getting visibility into systems, services, and apps stack through a single pane of glass, which is good. We are able to put logs in context."

"Most reports give information about the top 100 devices, but not all of the devices."

"Something I would love to see from a partner perspective would be maybe a way to do this in a surface hosting provider."
"ControlUp could improve the integration. Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop monitoring has better integration."
"It can be improved by including script-based scheduling."
"Solve is a quick and intuitive tool for quickly mapping data together, however, once you have the view of the data that you like, it is difficult to share this with colleagues."
"Managing dashboards as IaC is a bit hard to work out at times."
"The installation is easy for me. However, if you are new to this solution it might not be so easy."
"We need more integration functionality, including certain metrics integration."
"They should continue expanding and integrating with more third-party apps."
