The reporting capabilities are a challenge and could be improved. We have been trying to connect to it from our help desk ticketing system, because the ticketing system manages asset tracking, which has been a bit challenging for us. Otherwise, they give some reports that are okay, but we do not use them much because we work in the dashboard. 

This solution is available in SaaS. The reason why we have not gone to SaaS is they do not have a country-specific separation of assets. There are GDPR and other requirements that might require country-specific sensitive information to be filtered as well as other things that need to be taken care of. Normally, if we need to do any compliance, like ISO27000 compliance, they don't have such a report within their system. This kind of report is missing from their SaaS. That is one of the reasons that we have gone to the on-prem version, where I am assured that my data is secure. I can take the report and show it to them from a compliance point of view. However, the moment we go to a SaaS model, I don't have control of the data and where the data is stored. I don't receive any complaints-based reports from the SaaS model.

The AI features are missing. Other tools have AI features that automatically predict and understand what is the problem, trying to forecast the problems that might happen. That is not there. I am unsure if there is AI capability in this solution or not, but they should add it, like their competitors.

The GUI is in need of improvement. It is not drag-and-drop or easy to use. It is needed to configure the parameters for SNMP but using the interface is a time-consuming task. Some manual configuration is required. It also needs to be more granular.

Improvements to the GUI should be made such that a payment is able to configure all of the email features.

In terms of improvements, I would like to see an integrated view of Infraon IMS and Infraon Desk. It would be very helpful if that were integrated into the solution.

In terms of additional functionality, a feature they may have but that I haven't been able to find is the ability for a manager to see all the tickets of his subordinates. It would be good if a manager could see every incident ticket, even those not assigned to him. That way, a manager could see every incident ticket that has been opened in the organization and assign them to individuals.

I would like to have the option to add a new device or meet with the next release. Right now, it needs to be done from the backend which results in a heavy reliance on R&D.

The graphical view of the topology does not show us all of the connectivity in our network, which is something that could be improved.

There might be some features in other products that are currently not there in Everest IMS and can be included. I have not yet compared it with any other product.

We have enquired if there are any possibilities of monitoring non-IPBS devices.

Currently, I am using another security tool called Nizami Network to monitor the security solutions or automation-based networks, which is something that Everest, SolarWinds, or Manage Engine cannot do.
