Author-it vs. Horizn

AIT functionality seems a little dated. There are lots of work arounds for its current system limitations

It is well suited for someone who works from home often. In this whole new work from home environment most people are facing, it is vital to have software that enables you to access your work desktop. It is also suited for people who travel for work on a regular basis. I can't really see any scenarios where it is less appropriate. Horizn allows anyone to have access to their work desktop at anytime regardless of their physical location.

This platform is not intuitive and is not easy to use. The learning curve is steep for this platform. Also, there are lots of work arounds needed in order for basic items to be processed. We have had to pay for additional IT support and training just to be able to use our platform and has been in service for over 10 years

These other platforms are more dynamic and easier to use

We used WorkJam in the past, but it really wasn't comparable to Horizon. WorkJam was more about bring staff together to stay informed on learning management, task management, daily communications and staffing. It was more about providing a platform where employees could connect to stay current on the latest communications from the company. It didn't have anything to do with providing access to your virtual work desktop.
