Highlights
This has helped us to monitor the availability of our routers, switches, servers, and virtual environments.
I can do everything remotely, including running PowerShell scripts or performing standard updates.
It is very extensible with 'SWQL' and APIs to where we are beginning to integrate it with network automation.
We had some interfaces where the SFP Ports were having some problems after a while. We found which of the SFP Ports was having the error and changed it, so the bandwidth become okay.
The most valuable feature of this solution is the alerts.
All the features are very good. The monitoring of the equipment, the configuration manager, and the IP address monitoring are great.
The connectivity of the solution is very good.
