If one double clicked too quickly, the black box would appear and everything would freeze up until IT support would reboot the server. I cannot remember the last time this has happened now that the hosted server was moved and improved earlier this year.

It's fast and I do not think it is any slower than local server AC. In fact I have a few partners that all do the local server AC and the front office gal that has to get on to AC for all of us from time to time says it is much quicker and easier for her to get on the Cloud AC. And when she is on the hosted AC it is a bit snappier.

This issue does not come up very often but before I went to the hosted AC I would remote in to the office with Log Me In and occasionally the electricity would be out of the office and I would not be able to log in. With hosted AC it is really easy to sign in as long as I have a hotspot on my phone/wifi at home, so if the electricity goes out in the office, I can sign on easily. And as a backup, if we lose electricity or wifi at the office, I just switch my hotspot on my phone on and use my chromebook at the office (with a 12 hour battery) and sign on to hosted AC and cloud updox and keep working.

The automatic updates over a weekend are so much easier, I don't even have to get my local IT guys to get involved so much easier and smoother.

Also I was told that I could always move back to local AC at any time if I did not like the hosted AC. Would not even consider it at this point.

Thanks! This really helps!
