We looked at it in a demo and spoke with them. It did look exciting on paper at first. One problem is that it does not support Vista or Apple. They are working on a solution to this, but it won't be ready in our time frame. We want to figure all this out within the next month or so so we can be ready to convert many thousands of incoming students to 1x in a few days.
It also seemed rather costly and it seemed like we would be paying for a lot of other functionality that we wouldn't use. Their installation of 1x did look very slick though.
