Category Standard

Atera is a well-established, unicorn-status IT management platform with significant market presence (360+ employees, ~$500M valuation). The project possesses high real-world utility and traction. However, the submission quality was poor, containing mismatching names ('SwiftKeeper') and exaggerated/lazy claims ('everyone', 'most people'), which negatively impacted the Quality Factors and Response Quality score. Despite these submission flaws, the underlying project's scale places it firmly in the 400-700+ range.
