## Reviews

### "Corner Bowl in a Small Company" — 5.0/5

> **Alan** | *28 July 2020* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The breadth of features is great. I doubt I have scratched the surface of what can be done with Server Manager. The two main features I use are monitoring failed login attempts and monitoring Windows Service status. I use the service monitor to automatically start a service that has stopped for some reason. Server Manager will alert me to the stopped service and then also notify me when the service has been started again.
> 
> **Cons**: No real faults but I struggle at times with configuring different options. This is mainly due to the fact that it could be months between setting up a new monitor. By the time I think of another use for Server Manager it has been so long since I last configured something that it takes me a while to get a new monitor going. That is no fault of the software and the developer now posts how-to videos I believe so I should check those out.
> 
> With a very small IT department each member performs multiple tasks. Server Manager is great because it allows me to automate some things that I otherwise would have to manually check each day. The developer has always been very responsive to inquiries. I have used Server Manager for several years. At one point the software the was acquired by another company and I was delighted when ownership and development returned to Corner Bowl. This is a great product; definitely worth your time to try it out.

### "Great product" — 4.0/5

> **Markus** | *30 July 2020* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: After ditching Microsofts scom because of its complexity. We were looking for a easy to use software with support for basic functions  we wanted to monitor. Servermanager does tick all The boxes for us. Easy to use ready templates for all basic monitoring needs. Customizable for more advanced monitoring and logging.
> 
> **Cons**: The oldfashioned gui. The new tabs opening everytime you edit a setting is Hard to navigate.
> 
> Easy to use. Doesnt need a fulltime technician to run it.

> **Jeremy** | *07 June 2024* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This is a very easy program to use and manage.  It fills a gap that some other more expensive software doesn't cover.  The support I have received from \[sensitive content hidden\] is top notch\!

> **Steve** | *06 July 2023* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I have been using Server Manager for over 5 years.  Provides great support, pretty easy to use, new features added with no additional cost, low requirements.  Great way to stay on top of your critical items like services.
> 
> **Cons**: Every time you ask, I wish it could do this, It seems that Corner Bowl adds that feature like Certificate Monitoring.
