Initial setup was a bit complex because we needed to implement lots of workflows.
Self-service Workflow building Audit For the time when we have to implement re-certification for special accounts this was the best for our requirements. It would be better to have a PowerShell connector Documentation can be improved Performance tuning should be better I have been working on…

Inexperienced support for old product, but good flexibility for use case customization
HelpSystems Powertech is scalable if you throw more servers at it. Then you can distribute the load, which is a Microsoft SQL Server backend, and as long as you allocate enough resources to those things, then it is scalable. That's good enough. It would be an entire organization that uses it. So at a hospital for example, a healthcare system, a bank, and it would be the entire workforce on it. I haven't see a lot of customer's specific use cases, but it is for the whole workforce, everyone. The CEO of the company to the janitor. In terms of maintaining it, that requires application administrators or system administrators. There is a manual process to update the product, at least with the on-premise version.
