“Simple to use”
Pros
Right away, the biggest plus was how simple the platform felt to use. The interface is very user-friendly and the dashboard makes navigation simple and convenient.
Cons
The most noticeable downside was the cost per device. On top of that, the invoicing module felt pretty basic and didn't offer a recurring billing feature.

“Ability to search users”
Pros
it is simple to view help desk tickets, update them and close them out. On top of that, being able to search for users across the organization and pull up their ticket history is a really useful extra.
Cons
The interface could be a lot more user-friendly. It also lacks a mobile app for IT support technicians which would be especially helpful since a lot of techs spend time working away from the office.
