Pros

“there's not some overly built GUI with flashy colors, but i've found nost anything I want to do MDM wise, you can make it happen, and usually there are several ways you can make it happen depending on what you need.”

Cons

“The user interface feels dated and "click-heavy," and the premium price tag is becoming harder to justify against modern, all-in-one competitors.”
PP

Paolo P.

ICT Architectures and Operations Director

“Some part of the interface are a bit dated and lacks flexibility.”
MD

Michaël D.

Senior IT Engineer

“It makes it almost impossible to be an admin of the platform without a certification or some background in dev work.”

Cons

“While having that customization is great I do feel as though custom reports are not as readily available as i'm used to, I would like to be able to export device info on spreadsheets when needed and i've had trouble generating specific reports for certain rollouts when needed.”
