“Overall, I was impressed with this intuitive utility. It provides many of the capabilities small-business IT administrators need, letting them gain a more detailed view of their networks, keep track of issues, and seek help from a convenient community resource. …it’s an excellent tool for a smaller business – and paying nothing for it adds to its appeal.”
