"The solution has been stable.""Chrome functions as a comprehensive solution due to its continuous self-evaluation and improvement. The evolution process has been significant, with a notable distance covered from its inception to the present. Notably, features like VPN support have been incorporated over time, enhancing the platform's capabilities. A distinctive feature is that users don't even need to know the Wi-Fi password; upon signing into the machine, internet connectivity is established immediately. Furthermore, the cloud storage system ensures data isn't stored locally, making it seamless for users to switch between machines. In summary, Google Chrome Enterprise is an excellent solution, particularly when there's a shortage of available manpower.""Google Sheets and Google Docs are the most valuable features of the solution.""It has been working pretty well for us...By and large, things are pretty stable.""This solution is user-friendly with security features detecting if there is suspicious activity on the browser. There is a lot of extensions we can use to provide us with good coverage.""Chrome Enterprise is really easy to deploy and manage.""We use the product to run applications and devices.""Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
