Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
The most valuable feature is that I am able to patch third-party solutions. This product is a great solution at a great price as long as it is only going to be used for a local area network. | I am impressed by the service desk ticketing and asset management. The most valuable feature is the ability to have an overview of all devices that are accessing our environment. This product made the job easy to do without having to go put hands on the machines. The ability to push an image to a machine, wake that image up, and just blast a new image to a computer without even having to touch it, and then push the software to that machine. This just made things so much more convenient for us and so much more efficient. |
Cons | |
The documentation on how to use this solution in a Linux environment is not clear, which is something that should be improved because it is complicated. This solution is limited to the local area network only and cannot manage remote devices. | I've had some issues with patch catalogue. I think it should have the ability to have the applications automatically update. It would be really helpful if this would override what the user might choose to do. The only hiccups we had were some power issues, where the box was a little under-powered early on. Imaging becomes a problem when you start to try to go beyond doing more than thirty or forty machines at a time. We initially tried to do that virtually and it just, it wouldn't work. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
GFI LanGuard has very fair pricing compared to other similar solutions out there. | It was a very attractive price. This is a huge feature of this product. If you would "credit score" this product versus others out there on the market, this one has a very attractive price. It may be more expensive, but you get what you pay for. |
