"Scalable and stable network monitoring tool with a simple setup."
"We can plan changes and replacement of end-of-life products in our environment very well because it's very accurate."
"The main thing is obviously notifications about alerts, getting ahead of the curve to make sure that we do not have system going down, or if it is down we get to know it earlier."
"The monitoring just comes to us: "Oh, there's something wrong with that machine." It tells us. There are some 50,000 machines or so, all doing different things. And if they go down we hear about it."
