    A great addition to our security monitoring system
    We haven't to this point had to scale very large, we want to continue to evolve, but it's a slow process for us. From what I've used so far, and my reading on it, I don't think we're going to have any problems scaling to really whatever size we need.

    "The dashboard is not user-friendly. The solution, in general, isn't great from a user's perspective."
