One of the best solutions in the market with an easy-to-use system. This is very useful when the ABB system is existing, new, or existing; All ABB systems can be integrated using this instead of going to a third-party vendor, which might have interface issues.

It’s really good for organizing all your assets and managing your field technician teams. The new features, like the assistant and remote assistant, are also really good. On the other side, for the second part of the question, what’s less appropriate, for example, for network scanning, there used to be a part of the product that handled natural discovery. Now IBM has discontinued that, so we have to use two different products now to scan the IT environment, which is not so efficient, I would say.

  • The interface is not friendly, and it took a lot of time for our team to get comfortable with it.
  • Sometimes updates can led to unexpected lag and downtime.
  • It has many useful modules and features, but it is not well known, and I only recently found it after I was actively searching for it.

The response from them has overall been good and to the point, and they get back to us within a day or 2 and guide us through the process of fixing it or providing an interim fix of the product
