Optelcon Global View vs. Scalefusion

There a few things I wish I knew before committing to this software. 1. If you plan to track locations of devices then it drains battery life of phones quickly, I had to reduce the location ping to every 15 minutes to mitigate the poor battery performance. 2. The built in mapping on the Scalefusion site is not very useful, you can only map one device at a time. I had to write an app to map all the devices onto one map. I offered to sell them my map, they did not reply and have since copied it, so now they have group mapping but it is not as good as mine. (no satellite view options and does not use google maps)

• Working on cloud. No physical device needed.
• Supports big number of devices.

• battery life of phones is dramatically affected if location is used

We need this type of software, Scalefusion although clunky, it does function. And their prices are good compared to the competition. Note I have not tried the competitions software, just looked at their prices.

Installation is easy. There is a steep learning curve of what the software can and cannot do. It is also quite comprehensive, so the is much to absorb. The user interface is not intuitive, many setting are buried very deep.

The support is quite good, usually you can get a response answer within an hour, however many issues take quite a while to resolve.

• Once we set up our device through Scalefusion we manage our devices from end to end. That's why it's cost friendly and easy to manage our environment.
