EASY + POWERFUL + AFFORDABLE  

Insight vs Insight Personal Edition

Insight PE represents a useful subset of the full functionality of Altosoft Insight. The key difference is that Insight PE does not include the complete back-end architecture that makes Altosoft solutions incredibly powerful and scalable, and supports Altosoft’s advanced operational functionality like process analysis, incident management, and real-time data. In addition, Insight PE is limited to creation of browser-based dashboards that are limited to viewing by one user – hence, personal edition.
