What Customers Achieve with AEM

20 min → 3 min for patching and fixes

I had to manage Action1 and Splashtop installed on each endpoint and switched between consoles for separate tasks. Now I can use just Splashtop as my day-to-day tool for all tasks. Fixing problems used to take 20 minutes, now it takes less than 5.
