The administrative software can be slow and a little bit confusing. The list of systems is missing a search function or an easy way to filter the full list of installed systems. This may have changed with the newer web-based interface.

Setting it up on the server was easy and the monitoring features are really nice I also like the reporting function.

There are brief interruptions sometimes when updating clients. You can choose an auto-update feature that reaches out to the clients and upgrades them while in use, but we have run into some issues with this feature at times.
