Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Visual package browse and search. Manage services that ship with packages e.g. start/stop Redis, Postgres, etc. Easy to install and remove packages with a global view of everything installed. Lists disk usage and provides security audit alerts.

Tradeoffs

Free version provides most of the functionality, but paid upgrade required for some features e.g. package health dashboard. macOS only.
