Good start but...

I love the Desktop Central software. However, the mobile app falls far short of the functionality of the usefulness of the desktop tools. So far the most use I have been able to gain is the dashboard and reporting tools. It would be a much more useful app to me if I could take advantage of at least some of the tools, such as waking or rebooting a machine. If that is possible to do then it isn’t very intuitive as far as how to do it. And why aren’t my inventory lists listed in alphabetical order or a sort option to sort how I want? I am grateful that there is an app, but I think there is potential for greater things with it.
Not compatible with MSP

Limited Functionality, Bugs

This app is just OK, it does an acceptable job at allowing you to access your MEDC instance. However, several parts of the app just don’t work - all the software and hardware pages return no results and many of the pages that show patches produce an “AlamoFire” error and don’t show anything. There’s also no way to see information on automated patch deployments, and the views for configurations are limited. Remote Control works, but it would be great to see some other remote tools in the app. I’m certainly happy an app is available for Desktop Central - that’s more than we can say for SCCM - but it has a long way to go.
