## Pound Reviews
  ### 1. It works really well.

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Brandon M. | Realtor, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 26, 2018

**What do you like best about Pound?**

This security system although it has many options is very easy to use, it is very friendly and for a user who has never used it you can use it easily, I could say that this type of security should be implemented to other platforms.

**What do you dislike about Pound?**

 What I do not like is the cost, the cost of this application is too high for the options and security that it has. It lacks features too.

**Recommendations to others considering Pound:**

I would recommend you go for a trial version, there are better options available too.

**What problems is Pound solving and how is that benefiting you?**

In experience, it is not a bad program, but it is very basic depending on the type of platform you are using.
