Ease of use, colorful and intuitive interface, Linux and mobile device support, and reasonable pricing. Easily Implemented, customer support is excellent. We use it every day, has a number of features we take advantage of and it's easily deployed and integrated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Pricing if we wanted to roll it out across all our desktops would be too costly so we don't. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

And trying to keep track of 35,000 students and their devices it allows me to quickly compare who a device is assigned to and who it is last being used by and when Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only thing that I'd really love to have better would be to be able to export the last known location that is pinpointed within the service for every device and export it to excel Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
helps us keep track of our laptops and freeze devices if necessary Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One of the downsides was the search function but the new update to the website recently made that a lot easier to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy to track all machines and the location accuracy is a big plus. The ability to create local administrator accounts is also amazing when users get locked out of their machines or get removed from the domain, a real life saver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not much, when you first log in and go to search for an asset if you type too quickly the search goes away and you have to re-try, other than that just being able to search by users on a machine would be nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
With Absolute, I can track my assets, arrange reports according to essential filters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is nothing much I dislike about Absolute. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ease of use. Not much training and could use it right away. How accessible it is. Could use and access it in the office and on my mobile device during business hours and off hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The delay. We have a lot of devices with Absolute Secure Endpoint and sometimes it takes a while searching. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The geolocation tracking component of Absolute is great. Very accurate and keeps a history of where the device has been. Since laptops tend to grow feet and walk away, it's been helpful to keep track where the equipment is at all times. And when needed, we can freeze or wipe the device should anything happen with the employee or device itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I'm currently using a software deployment tool called Immy to help push our Absolute to devices. Immy is capable of verifying that the deployed software (Adobe Reader, Zoom, etc.) has been installed successfully. But Absolute is a silent agent ... it doesn't show up in Windows at all, not in the programs list, the registry, etc. So Immy can't truly tell if it was successful or not. The only ways to tell if it worked is if you log into the Absolute portal and the device shows up there. There has been a few times the device has NOT showed up in the portal so that's been fun to troubleshooting. Absolute does have a tool you can run on the device itself to run some CLI commands but I've had mixed results with it. Not very intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
If I had to choose 1 feature, I would pick Application Persistence for applications we use like VMWare Carbon Black and Microsoft BitLocker; since we use both of those apps for our web security and drive encryption, respectively, having Absolute there to keep our systems, users and their data, secure is comforting. Also, the Geolocation services partnered with their advanced reporting features that allow us to know when a device has left the city/state/country and give us a notification and report is crucial to our inventory allocation processes.

I don't really have any issues with Absolute Secure Endpoint. If I had to pick 1 thing, I guess it would be the "a la carte" pricing on our device licenses. If Absolute offered a domain pricing option, I think our administrators would feel better about the funds spent on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
