There are many things to love about Semarchy xDM, but its user interface is at the top of the list. It is crazy good, seamless, and has a ton of amazing possibilities. Additionally, data collection, preparation, evaluation, analytics, and presentation can all be done with ease. Its cloud storage feature is another excellent feature. The only MDM software that not only performs flawlessly but also goes above and beyond my expectations in terms of functionality is this one.
