The total ranking of a product, represented by the bar length, is based on a weighted aggregate score.
The score is calculated as follows: The product with the highest count in each area gets the highest available score.
(20 points for Reviews; 16 points for Views, Comparisons, and Followers.)
Every other product gets assigned points based on its total in proportion to the #1 product in
that area. For example, if a product has 80% of the number of reviews compared to the product
with the most reviews then the product's score for reviews would be 20% (weighting factor) *
80% = 16. For Average Rating, the maximum score is 32 points awarded linearly based on our
rating scale of 1-10. If a product has fewer than ten reviews, the point contribution
for Average Rating is reduced (one-third reduction in points for products with 5-9 reviews;
two-thirds reduction for products with fewer than five reviews). Reviews that are more than 24 months old,
as well as those written by resellers, are completely excluded from the ranking algorithm.

It helps restrain things regarding the firewalls, the application control, so you can just use ACLs or, if you want, firewalls to block certain traffic that you do not want to come through your network.What needs improvement?
Maybe the graphical user interface could be simplified to allow people to use it more easily. It's already good, but they can work more on it to make it even easier.Viavi Solutions

What do you think of Observer GigaStor?
Improvements to My Organization With a short-handed staff, it allows us to be able to go back and troubleshoot if issues had occurred previously in time, so we don't have to recreate the problem. • Valuable Features Long-term data storage is the best feature for our organization. • Room for Improvement The interface is pretty complex, so for the average user, it takes a while to get up to speed with it. I would like it to be more user-friendly. • Stability Issues We have not had stability issues. • Scalability Issues It's handled everything we've thrown at it up to this point. • Customer Service and Technical Support Technical support is very knowledgeable and very helpful. They typically go out of their way to help and get whatever issue we've had resolved....Sign in to see all reviews and comparisons. It's free!
