"The ability to operate the product with scripting is excellent."
"The product's setup is easy."
"The most significant advantage lies in its runbook features, particularly beneficial for our infrastructure team."

"The product is easy to understand."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"We are not able to copy and paste files directly into the server over the patch host. We have to transfer files over to Azure Storage."
