Reliable with good storage capabilities but sometimes shows a misleading status
The solution is straightforward to set up. It is easy; it's not complicated at all. I'd rate the ease of setup five out of ten. It's in the middle in terms of the level of difficulty. However, I find it quite simple. It takes the usual amount of time to set up due to all the modules. When we install a product on SolarWinds or the RMM platform, they take a similar amount of time. There is no specific time for a single module. If you deploy a single module will take almost the same time. If you deploy ten models together, they will have similar timing since they all are on the same RMM platform.
