Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy.""The discovery is excellent. It is agent-based, and it can also operate without one as long as there is an inventory source, such as SCCM. It may take data from the SCCM and normalize it to provide a very clear idea of what the hardware is, what software is running on it, what versions of that software are available, when is the end-of-life, and when they are no longer supported. All of that information is available."

If one fails we have no issues.""It provides us with improved maintenance cycles.""All of the features are very suitable for us. It is also a stable solution."

We have to rely on Australia for support.""The dashboards provided by the solution have certain shortcomings, making it in areas where improvements are required."
