Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Electric continues to improve and has taken a lot of the day-to-day support tickets- employee requests and tech issues and network problems. I can actually focus on my job vs helping someone who is locked out of their email because they forgot their password the third time this month. Electric fulfills all the requirements that are required in real-time support software. The response time is really less. It has very advanced features like real-time support Electric is great and easy to use remote monitoring software to manage and control every business IT systems and assets. I liked it's remote IT security and service management. It's stable and reliable. - I can slack electric and get a response within minutes- they almost always resolve my issue within an hour. - Super easy to set up and use. Cons They're a growing company so there's sometimes hiccups in service. We had to upgrade to get phone support vs the chat-based. There are no major cons, but I would like to receive updates more frequently. It would be great if it has better alerting system. - Sometimes approvals (from my own team) take a little bit, but not really Electric's fault.
