"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."
"It does correlation so instead of producing 20 alarms if a site goes down, it only creates one."
"The granular access control that it provided so that you could only see devices that were related to what you were working on was great. I couldn't see the entire inventory of devices. I could only see the ones that were related to my work. It has got a very granular access control component."

"The GIS map feature needs to be enhanced and synced with topology views of containers and global collections."
"Make it easier to certify devices."
"The visual is a little archaic."

"It doesn’t give you performance metrics: You need CA eHealth for this."
"A better integration with the UIM, as far as being able to do root cause analysis and that type of analytics."
"We'd like to see a local presence within the region in order to have seamless service whether it's the support, the implementation, or professional services."
"They have a new solution, ExtraHop Reveal(x), and I think it needs improvement."
"This solution would be improved if it had the ability to retain data longer."
