"The most valuable features are network bandwidth monitoring and monitoring device health."

"I would like to see a friendlier user interface in the administration tool."
"I'd say the interface could improve a little bit. I find with new users, I tend to have to spend a bit of time walking them through how to use the interface. It could be a little more user friendly."
"I would like to see some layer two and layer three topology mappings, similar to what NNMi and SolarWinds presents."
"The user interface needs to be made more intuitive."
"This solution would be improved with better automatic discovery for ping-only devices."

"It could use more features on Netflow analyser, such as time series graphs and a single network export UDP port and UDP forwarding."

"Regional product team support is not very good."
"You have to invest a few days to become an expert in this solution."
"The licensing model could be improved. Right now, the levels are too far apart. This causes the solution to be more expensive than it needs to be."

"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."
"Pricing is too high relative to how many devices we use. The price list is not linear to number of devices."
"The product is old and not updated."
