It drops connections and it's open-uri transfer that it frequently drops to is too slow for what they do. We use it to manage a school district with about 10,000 macs and it was a mistake. If you are Google, more power to you. You can take the time to re-write the program and make it usable, if not, don't touch it with a 10 foot poll.

Not to manages their bazillion servers, which may the first assumption that comes to mind when people hear about Google. “If it’s good enough for Google it’s probably good enough for you…”
