I would recommend iboss because it has been stable. We have not had any major issues. It served us well during COVID. When the home devices of others were collapsing and not working, all of ours worked. I would rate iboss a nine out of ten. There is room for improvement when it comes to the support aspect.
My advice is to thoroughly do proof of concept of iboss because everyone has different use cases. To be able to use iboss smoothly, it is crucial to identify all the small settings and parameters during the PoC phase. Some settings are challenging to change once you go live. I would rate iboss a ten out of ten.

I rate iboss 10 out of 10. If you're going with the cloud model, there are two different architectures you can use. You can use the agent-based one, which we use. The other is a direct private circuit that runs straight from your enterprise into their cloud. If you're going the agent route, make sure you have a good enterprise software management product in place, like Intune or SCCM for Microsoft or Jamf if you're an Apple shop. There's a million of them out there. Make sure you have one of those in place so that you can easily manage pushing out the agent to your users. After that, it essentially drives itself. The endpoints check-in and get updated automatically per your policies.

I would rate iboss seven out of ten. iboss does require maintenance for software updates and similar tasks, so it's not entirely maintenance-free. However, currently, we manage it with approximately one to one and a half full-time employees, with an additional cross-trained person for vacation coverage and other absences.

We used iboss on our private cloud, but since iboss is a managed service, they provide a public cloud platform for the solution. Overall, I rate iboss an eight out of ten.

We're a partner with iBoss. We resell the product to our clients if the solution makes sense for them and covers their requirements. We're using the latest version of the solution. I would recommend the solution. You don't necessarily have to do a POC first. However, I would recommend it. For us, it was easier to have it integrated into our outreach environment. For clients moving towards the cloud for the first time, especially on Microsoft platforms, its something that really should be seriously considered before actually just jumping in on a new solution. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. If we wanted to, we could go with a more costly setup.
