"The most valuable feature is the connectivity monitoring."
"We use the product to manage access points."
"The most valuable features are speed and cost."
"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."
"The tool has the ability to look back within a month's data. It is very easy to navigate within the tool and troubleshoot the problem, compared to other solutions that we've used in the past."
"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."
"It helps us to assist our customers to isolate problems. If it is us who is having the problem, then we can use it to streamline the process."
"When we have mobile operators who are signal partners, where one is the roaming host and another is the roamer, we are able to see their traffic. Their packets are able to detect if any faults to develop, and at what point they fail."
"The real-time troubleshooting and application segregation that you can do within it."
"The most valuable feature is utilization."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The tool's pricing strategy could be improved to compete more effectively in the market, especially against competitors like Huawei, Aruba, and Juniper."
"The solution needs to improve reports."
"API lacks robustness."
"Could integrate better with VMware products."
"We need better performance and reliability."
"The visibility of applications is not great."
"In the next release, I would like to see it merged with Prime and I think that it should be more unified."
"It's a relatively expensive product for some clients."
"The monitoring and reporting tool needs improvement. Users want more information, such as the level of detail when doing a packet analysis. They want more detail to be able to isolate down to a specific point."
"There is a timeout feature that we have been asking for awhile."
"The single pane of glass feed still needs work."
"The NetFlow Collectors could handle more flows per minute."
"We don't use the single pane of glass view, even though we own it."
"The stability depends on who is using the tool, because you only can get as much out of the tool as you put into it. There are a lot of patches for this particular environment, so you have to keep on them. If you lose track of them, then the product is not useful anymore."
"Being able to manage the packet flow switches in nGeniusONE would be great."
"I would like to see an improved level of stitching between IPs."
