Crestron XiO vs. TrendMiner

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

• 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.

Generally easy to use and intuitive and a very good self-service tool. Because of the wide range of data sources we have, it is a good tool for an easy access to lots of our refining data. Some improvements would be welcome relative to replicating similar applications or folders, bulk copying several items

Seeq was considered a superior tool, but the pricing structure is extremely ill suited for our needs. TrendMiner's overall support (previoulsy done using "Chat with me" and subsequently with the TrendMiner Community is second to none - outstanding TrendMiner engineers were the only one who seriously helped us implement a solid governance model with tag usage tracing

• 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
