What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is not very stable. Some of the features we tested or used would not work as expected. I'd rate the stability six out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution can scale and is straightforward to extend. You can place it on as many endpoints as you like. I'd rate the scalability seven out of ten. We have around 4,000 end users.
I do not have plans to increase usage. I stopped using it recently.
How are customer service and support?
Support is very helpful if you run into issues. It's quite good. They are fast, knowledgeable, and responsive.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I've never used a different solution.
How was the initial setup?
We just need to deploy the agent to the endpoints. We don't need to set up anything. For a single agent, it takes one or two minutes. However, we deployed globally, and you need to take into consideration the time it will take to deploy across each endpoint. It's very simple to deploy.
We had three or four engineers take care of the implementation.
What about the implementation team?
We deployed the solution ourselves.
What was our ROI?
We have not witnessed any ROI.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We do pay a monthly licensing fee.
I'd rate the pricing as average. It's not cheap yet not too expensive.
You can also pay for more support if you require them to provide consultancy services.
What other advice do I have?
This is a cloud-based version that updates by itself automatically.
I'd recommend the solution to others.
I would rate the solution seven out of ten overall.
It's good for endpoints. However, it's not as good on the server end. There is overhead for you when you deploy on the server.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud

A flexible and stable solution that does a majority of the tasks
Pros and Cons
- "Its flexibility is most valuable."
- "It should have integrated workstation access. So, there should be a remote desktop feature."
What is our primary use case?
We use it for patch management. It is used for patching servers and workstations.
We're using the web version.
What is most valuable?
Its flexibility is most valuable.
What needs improvement?
It should have integrated workstation access. So, there should be a remote desktop feature.
For how long have I used the solution?
We dealt with it for a couple of months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It has been pretty stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It should be easy. We're probably going the opposite way. We're not going to be doing much scaling up. If anything, we'll be scaling down.
There are three people who use this solution. They are from desktop support and server infrastructure.
How are customer service and support?
I never had to contact them other than during the implementation.
How was the initial setup?
It wasn't complex at all.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Its licensing for a year was nine grand. There was no additional fee.
What other advice do I have?
It is a flexible solution that does a majority of the tasks. The only thing it really doesn't do is Mac, which is something that Jamf Pro does, but it is not necessary.
I would rate it a nine out of 10.
