What differentiates Revel from other similar products?

I had no experience with REVEL POS devices when I was first tasked with troubleshooting wireless network connectivity on a cruise ship. The interface was intuitive and allowed me to accomplish high level tasks with relative ease…though I had no prior experience with the devices.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It was both user friendly and friendly for advanced technical support professionals as well.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I only dislike the fact that I have not had the opportunity to spend more time with it.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Take it for a test drive! The fact that it worked reliably on a cruise ship speaks volumes.
