The ability to have all the connection information in one location saves so much time from trying to manage the same information across different applications.

The console is a little bit clunky.

There are always bugs to squash, beyond that, it is really kind of difficult for new users to discover and use many of the features due to the bewildering array of choices and ways to do things.

The only complaint I have heard is there are too many updates. Each time there is an update (the app prompts to upgrade), it can be time consuming, especially when sometimes there are multiple updates per week.

The RDM client (.NET issue, actually) can stall or lock up while it clears communication threads to the server.

Sometimes the manual inventory of some entries hangs, and RDM must be closed via task manager.

Sometimes when updating, the install window is on top of the prompt to close the application.

If there was a way to streamline the process, it would make it nice.
