Would LINUS still recommend PULSEWAY in 2024?

[retyna141]

About 4 or 5 years ago, Linus recommended Pulseway in a video, and Pulseway was actually sponsoring the video.  I've been using it since, and I am pretty OK with it as a service/product. However, it hasn't changed at all in 5 years! No new services, no visible updates to the web-app....   Additionally, their selling strategy is waaaay to aggressive (calls, emails, pressure to commit to purchases so "discounts" can be approved), also all personnel seems to be India-based     0_o

 

So my question is: would Linus (or other experienced users) recommend Pulseway TODAY?  

Please help me find a better alternative, if there is one!

 

Thanks y'all.

Sponsored means the video is effectively an ad, not a personal recommendation/opinion.

You should mention what exactly you need/use it for. There may be alternatives that cover your particular use case, even if they don't cover everything Pulseway can (or can't) do.

LMG is currently not working with pulseway nor has any plans to because pulseway makes it difficult for customers to cancel their plans.

You're not the only one who has complained about this. Another forum member did a good write up with the same issues they've faced with pulseway here:

Yes. Agreed.  But Linus mentioned he himself was using Pulseway for his own systems. It wasn't just like "hey they're paying me to say this".   Anyway, is Microsoft Intune a good alternative to Pulseway, in your opinion?
