Love the plex community, do not love the lack of communication from plex employees on the community, but that is improving. Customer service is outsourced which causes issues with time differences and language barriers, but we have had a recent successful case so hopefully that is also improving. Update 6/25/25: Communication much improved and several successful cases! Headed in the right direction.

    Ease of implementation and one software was the primary reason for selection. The one software positive is now multiple bolt-on software products that have diminished the value of the product.
