The central console allowed for a simplified
deployment process, reducing the amount of time and resources we needed to
set it up and to manage it during day to day use. Users had very little trouble adapting to using it and were quickly able to transition to working with it.

We have users both on windows and mac across many different browser Edge , Chrome , Firefox , Safari. HTML5 support allowed every user despite what device and browser that they were on to just connect and begin working without hassle of hand holding or installing plugins. Users were able to just visit the link and start work
As an ESXI heavy company it was important to us that it could just connect without having to change vendors or do any hacks to get it working. Having a fully supported system was key to any product that we use. This helped us to reduce costs, improve performance, and
simplify management by using the virtualization technology that is in place and understood by all staff.
