Support gets back to my emails in minutes and the chat support is less than a minute. The UI is intuitive and it's not hard to create classes. I also love the lab manager!

It does everything I need it to. The ability to have VMs that a client can use with only a web browser is incredible. The tools available to monitor student machines, transfer files, etc. are all great.
