    XiO is definitely well suited for applications like ours where we have a large number of devices to manage. I like being able to see all my devices and locations in one place. It is very helpful to see if any devices are offline each morning and be able to troubleshoot before any customers realize there is a problem

    Scoro would be ideal for a larger business who is truly interested in developing a stronger and more efficient workflow. I honestly would have recommended it had it not been for the cost, the hidden fees, and the fact that I'd have to upgrade to an even more expensive plan if I wanted to get the most of the program for our level. We only needed one item, so would have ended up paying much more to not use a great deal of additional features. So, if you want to increase your workflow and have the funds, use them - absolutely. You will not regret it. But I cannot recommend it to someone who is on a tight budget

    Cons
    Crestron Electronics
    • I would like the option to choose IP addresses as one of the viewable columns when looking at/sorting through all your available devices.
    • It would be nice to be able to link the IP address listed directly to their devices.
    • Sometime trying to reboot a device in XiO does not work for me and I need to go directly to the device's admin page.

    • Cost. I ended up not recommending this product simply because of the cost alone. There are hidden costs you will not know about until it is too late. Their pricing model is geared for bigger businesses, and can cripple smaller ones. The pricing is by user. If you get the most basic of plans (with a 900 onboarding charge), you will realize that all the things you actually need to make the program effective are on the next tier up...
    • Quickbooks. At the time I was exploring this, Quickbooks was not very well integrated. If you wanted to include billing (which they do show promise for), then you will have issues here.

    We prefer Scoro as it's faster and easier to use and learn. Also the fee structure makes a lot of sense for a smaller company.

    • being able to manage all my devices remotely saves us time/money
    • XiO reduces the need to have someone on-site/in person to manage my devices

    • Scoro could have had a wonderful impact on the workflow of the business. It allows for integrations most programs don't, including accounting and time tracking, and could have easily eliminated the need for an FTE through the streamlining of tasks alone.
    • If we had implemented this program, we would have saved time, but all of the gains would have gone to pay for Scoro. It would not have balanced out, especially if they ever were to raise their rates.
