powercode does most of what you want, unless you want it to always work the
way you expect. There is zero way to keep up clean documentation in
powercode on a per device scale but most of your initial list is somewhat
covered, unless you have one probe mess up, then the whole thing randomly
quits. Nobody in the company has a good grasp of what happens in the back
end (learn the history of the sytem as a whole, youll understand why, no
documentation on the core programming and a cleanup, and they lost their
greatest asset to start up a competitor (I assume due to the nonsense you
will soon learn to love/hate)

no one in the company currently has a broad grasp of the backend, multiple
people have a strong grasp of their forte

for the price, powercode is freaking awesome for what it does. its not the
ubnt of the hybrid nms/crm, but its close

dont even turn on the inventory joke they play on customers, its a module
worth conserving server resources over... but hey, its on the roadmap, lol

it is a good system though if you accept it for what it is and learn to
deal with stuff just breaking
