“We are finished testing [PA Server Monitor] and are very pleased with every aspect of it ... [I like] routines for setup (could not be easier), pricing - compared to other products this is a bargain, interface, stability, reporting, and remote monitoring. The first week of use the program generated around a $1000 extra for us.”
