"Data Miner allows you to take control. It has an API to talk to different products, including drivers to talk to the APIs of third-party products. You can control it from the screen.""The solution is user-friendly and is readily customizable, which allows us to do control and monitoring in a single stage.""The most valuable feature of DataMiner is its comprehensiveness. It provides an open driver that allows you to customize and program each aspect of the system. Additionally, there are many separate modules available that can be used to enhance the system's capabilities beyond just monitoring, allowing you to manage your entire workflow. This is a valuable feature that makes troubleshooting easier and helps to optimize the use of the system."

Cons
"It should be able to monitor Palo Alto, Juniper, and Check Point products - not just Cisco solutions.""Some improvements are needed, specifically in the form of more updates and enhancements.""We would like to see the inclusion of detailed alerts.""Cisco Prime's initial setup is complex.""The reporting could be simplified and the information made clearer to the user.""The solution needs to include centralized management that aligns with the Greenfield network and its focus on real-time, scenario-based applications.""This solution could be improved if it could monitor configuration changes.""They can also improve the management of more enterprise devices."

"I am looking forward to the company continuing to improve its solution and incorporate new technologies. Specifically, I hope that they will allow their cloud database environment to host services, rather than requiring the use of on-premises digital or physical servers. The company is moving in this direction, but I am still waiting for this capability to be implemented.""We would like to have more products supported by the drivers because there are so many products out there. If DataMiner has not built the drivers to support them we can not control them, we can only see them based on SNMP. If more drivers are included, it won't cost us if we have new products."
