Work on Phones, can manage and fix many issues

What differentiates Pulseway from other similar products?

Use on the Phone. I really appreciate not being chained to my desk, and being able to reset services, reboot PCs and servers, etc from the phone. And having alarms on the phone is vital, could not be a one person business without that.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Like I said, the integration with the Iphone.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Never got the helpdesk to flow nicely. Keep attempting, but when I turn it on, the users get too many notifications, and the important ones do not show in my email.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Expect to take some time understanding and setting up. Hopefully they will have more luck with the helpdesk features than I have.
