"The up-to-date graphs and the history are very good."
"The initial setup was easy. We didn't have any issues with the process and everything rolled out smoothly."

"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The licensing price could be better."

"In a very few cases, customers want more detailed reports, which we cannot meet."
"I would like to see a more robust platform and a new dashboard. In addition, the code is good, but it needs improvement."
"I wouldn't mind better categories for the sensors. When I go to add a new sensor for a new device, there are some categories in there already, and they can be filtered out, but there's quite a large pool of sensors... When I want to go in and find something quite specific, I have got to scroll down and scroll down to find what I'm actually looking for,"
