Jesse Z.

Software Engineer

Pros

“It helped us maintain visibility across a large and varied infrastructure estate, and the automation, reporting, and email integration features significantly improved efficiency for our support teams.”
Cm

Craig m.

It Infrastructure Engineer

“I can't say I found much to like, maybe the ability of the on-premise version to reduce the surface of attack, but that's about the only advantage and not solely tied to this tool.”
DH

Danny H.

IT Manager

“I enjoy the opportunity to create custom fields; with many products, you are limited to how things are configured out of the box; this is not one of those products.”

Cons

“The biggest issue was the cost per device. ”

Matt M.

Owner Director of Business Development

“It is hard to configure, relying on the command line to do many things and not easy to train admin users on administrating this tool.”
DH

Dan H.

IT Manager

“When answering to the helpdesk, my comments weren't registered.”
CM

Cláudia M.

EHS Engineer

Cons

“Some administrative tasks and customisations can be less intuitive than modern cloud-based alternatives, and reporting often requires additional effort to produce more advanced insights.”
Cm

Craig m.

It Infrastructure Engineer

“The setup is hard, with no easy backup or transfer and no cloud version when we adopted it.”
DH

Danny H.
