What customers say
Users highly value the SMTCPS for its robust reliability, which stabilizes remote control capabilities essential for mission critical environments. This device effectively extends the life of existing SmartAVI KVM switches, preventing expensive system replacements. The core positive sentiment stems from its indispensable performance in demanding professional settings once operational. However, initial setup presents a significant hurdle. Reviewers consistently note a steep learning curve and documentation that needs improvement. While the interface is stable, it appears dated. Compatibility within the SmartAVI ecosystem is excellent, though integrating with third party tools can require advanced knowledge. For those who master the complexity, the centralized, low latency control justifies the specialized investment.
