"It allows us to get quicker resolutions. We can see exactly what is using up the bandwidth, so we can assist end users."

"We haven't seen ROI."
"If they can make this product more web-based, that would be amazing."
"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."

"The NetFlow Collectors could handle more flows per minute."
