Cons

"It definitely needs help to improve the visual aspect of the solution."
"iServer is a solid tool. Occasionally, we needed to contact the vendor to clarify details such as porting issues, missing components, and model specifics."
"I haven't used this solution long enough to know what areas could be improved."
"iServer should invest in enhancing the capabilities of the embedded drawing tool, draw.io."
