"This solution is more applications reference architecture focused. Its benefit is that it specializes in that space."
"The most valuable features are security detections, perimeter detection, dashboards, and alerts."
"There are many valuable features in this product, but probably the biggest is the customization capability it has."
"I would boldly say that this is the most scalable network monitoring tool that I know of"
"The initial setup is very simple."
"From a network point of view, we can see the state of the network, as well as bandwidth usage and downtime."
"The solution is easy to manage and the reports are very accurate."
"We can see which fiber links have been used heavily and, if they are used heavily, we can introduce more links to particular buildings or particular areas."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It is a user-friendly solution."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"This solution would be improved if it had the ability to retain data longer."

"The solution could be better and faster when it comes to performance."
"Their penetration within the market could be much better. If their pricing was lower, even though it's reasonable now, it might help them achieve this."
"There seems to be a big jump from the basic scan to the really thorough scan. There is a big jump in the quantity of sensors it uses for certain things. One minute you might get ten and then the next you get 200. There seems to be a big jump between the two at times."
"We would like to monitor certain aspects of the user experience. We should be able to analyze the cause of end user experience, bad or good, so we can do some research and development on our own."
"In a very few cases, customers want more detailed reports, which we cannot meet."
"When it comes to third-party integration, one of the things we were looking at was putting some sensors onto our firewall, for instance. If there were a little bit more documentation and some step-by-step guides around that, that would be useful for us."
"The free version only gives us 100 free sensors to use. It would be nice if there was double that."
"Can be slow in the way it polls the different engines."
