"The tech support is very knowledgeable."
"This is a multi-platform solution that consolidates everything and centralizes support for it."
"It's allowing us to be more proactive than reactive on alerts and access rights and types of resources that are being hit. Before, there were a lot of different solutions, but this expanded that out and made it a more holistic solution. It provides centralization of monitoring, instead of multiple, disparate applications. It definitely allows more economies of scale, streamlining, less fragmented use."

"The solution could be improved for NoSQL databases."
"Needs easier integration with custom applications."

"They could enable the out-of-the-box feature to track application user activity."
"The deployment is complex and requires expertise to deploy."
"We have not been able to integrate this product with a lot of standard incident response solutions, so an open API would help in this regard."
