Best for	MSPs and IT support teams	IT teams on mixed-OS fleets
Who it's not for	Individuals needing occasional access . free tools cover it	Home users . free tier killed in 2024
Privacy	Discloses CVEs as an authorized CNA, but recent RCE-class flaws, a KEV listing, and a 2024 corporate breach hurt standing.¹⁰	Two notable CVEs in its history (2006 auth bypass, 2022 privilege escalation); vendor touts white-box audit and GDPR compliance.
