Featured Reviews

DIRK UYTTERHOEVEN - PeerSpot reviewer
Identifies and eliminates overprovisioning of expensive resources like storage, highly scalable and offers performance
I like the overall product because I can select what monitoring should be enabled and whatnot. In our case, we really focus on performance because it's clear that the price is related to most performance setups. So the more performance, the more expensive. So we look into the performance that the customer needs, and then based upon that feedback from the remote control, we change the parameters. And even the end user will not notice it is not using it, so we just make money without any impact on the end users.
An-Pham - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers a user-friendly UI and remote access of PCs to users
The product's initial setup phase was a little bit complex because there was a need to work on the configuration part. For the deployment process, you need access to an executable file, which can be a .ASA file, along with a configuration file to edit. When you open the application, you have to put in the config file in the software and then run it to make it work. The solution is deployed on an on-premises model. The solution can be deployed in a few hours. If you have some assistance from the IT service or IT team, the deployment can be done within a few hours.
