“Overall, very pleased other than the initial quirks with setup and their support was very responsive at the time. This was done before the Outpost 24 acquisition, so I hope it remains just as good.”

Cons
“The GPO settings when we first installed were a tad confusing and we ended up with users initially seeing extra icons for one of their other services we did not own.”
