"NIKSUN is a passive solution. It provides you with you data, alerts, reports and the root cause of issues, however, it requires a person to make use of this functionality."
"NIKSUN is a passive solution. It provides you with you data, alerts, reports and the root cause of issues. However, it requires a person to make use of this functionality. If an event is happening and nobody attends to it, the effects of the event could be severe."
