All My Devices in One Place

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use XiO to manage 145 devices that we have on our network around the world. I manage our AM-200, AM-300, AM-3200, AM-3200-WF, and Mercury devices. XiO allows me to see what devices are off-line so I can troubleshoot for issues before the customer discovers a problem. I can manage different group settings by their locations. And I can schedule recurring nightly reboots and firmware updates when it is convenient for me.

Pros

  • Scheduled re-boots and updates
  • I like the way the hierarchy can be set up
  • individually customizable group settings within the hierarchy
  • I like the capability of setting up background images for brand promotion or employee information

Cons

  • I would like the option to choose IP addresses as one of the viewable columns when looking at/sorting through all your available devices.
  • It would be nice to be able to link the IP address listed directly to their devices.
  • Sometime trying to reboot a device in XiO does not work for me and I need to go directly to the device's admin page.

Return on Investment

  • being able to manage all my devices remotely saves us time/money
  • XiO reduces the need to have someone on-site/in person to manage my devices
