Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

VXL Software is a long-established (1976) provider of enterprise computing solutions, including thin clients and endpoint management software. With a reported team size of 350, the project demonstrates significant operational scale and history. However, the PoU score is constrained by a low-quality submission that employs hyperbole (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product' and 'everyone' as the audience) and lacks specific, verifiable metrics for a company of this apparent maturity. While the real-world utility for enterprise IT is clear, the disconnect between the legacy status of the firm and the vague submission details impacts the final rating.
