Overall easy to setup and configure. Online documentation is easy to follow and helpful support!

  • February 13, 2025
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Support was quick and direct to the point to resolve issues. Documentation is detailed. Configuration is easy to maintain.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cannot really think of any, other than pricing was very competitive until 2024, when there was a drastic increase, thus forcing us to decrease our licences compared to what we used to have, and then incrementally increasing licenses to fill our max needs versus having extras always available.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easilly allowing users to remote into the corporate network to access items not available otherwise.
