"The most valuable features are speed and cost."
"The ability to troubleshoot customers' connectivity has been very beneficial."
"The technical support is really good. They will go above and beyond, if you are running into a problem. You can go to a sales engineer, who will engage technical support to help you out."
"It helps us get to root cause quickly. With utilization and consumption of bandwidth, we can usually see what application is taking as much as they should (or shouldn't), then account for it accordingly."
"I love the single pane of glass view. It makes it easier to not have to navigate everywhere. It allows more simplistic visibility, without having to go from tool to tool to tool, or from window to window to window."
"It handles the basics of monitoring."
"We no longer have to manually search for problems because we are alerted when something in the network goes down."

"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Being able to manage the packet flow switches in nGeniusONE would be great."
"I'd like them to make the product more user-friendly."
"The scalability has some limitations and quirks to it. I would like to be able to upgrade rather than replace the whole thing."
"There is a timeout feature that we have been asking for awhile."
"I would like to see an improved level of stitching between IPs."
"The NetFlow Collectors could handle more flows per minute."
"The single pane of glass feed still needs work."
"Only problems that we have had are fiber issues going into the TAPs or vSTREAMs, which are usually local site issues."
"I might like to see a better interface in the future."
"Users want SMS available via Whatsapp Gold. They don't want to go through third party SMS servers. The solution should work to make this possible."
"I think there are a few bugs now. Although they give some resolution for this, we cannot share the network remotely because of our company policy."
"The interface needs some work."
"The pricing for this solution has gone up quite recently, which has led some of our customers to buy an alternative product."
"Integrations with other devices. I want to have a product that has full integration with my active directory so I can track user activity. I want to track my complete user activity, so I'm looking for a product to implement in the near future, which will have full integration with my network and active directory users. It became very difficult to track user activity."
"The technical support does not bother to respond."
"One of the biggest things that made us start to look at another product is we're not able to have an end to end monitoring from a user perspective throughout the system and back to the user. All the monitoring is from inside out, we need something that also can give us from outside in."
