Pros
Once the software is set up it is super easy to manage, I haven't had any glitches or interruptions.
Cons
When new versions come out it can sometimes be tricky to upgrade if you are not experienced in the tech area. However we usually contact their customer service for help.

Pros
Its easy to distribute the software to client systems.
Cons
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.

Excellent Product

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

Software that Punches above it's weight
Software that Punches above it's weight
Pros
The software was easy to install and really affordable with a high return on investment. We especially like how simple it is to generate reports and monitor things so even non-technical staff like our HR exec can use it It does not require a lot of resources and the licensing model is simple.
Cons
The interface although easy to use, feels a bit outdated.

Finally, a truly enterprise solution for Windows that filters internet and blocks apps.

Pros
The ease of use comes from the powerful admin console, which provides detailed control over PCs and produces excellent and useful reports (BrowseReporter). The software manages to function while offering excellent management control. Any issues I faced during installation were swiftly and effectively handled by tech support.
Cons
One downside is it only works on Windows machines. Took me months to find this after trying and rejecting other products from different vendors.
