"It is a very valuable tool. It goes out and does a discovery, which is a great process of it. You could have something like a rogue DHCP server, and it will identify it, and then you can see to which switch port it is connected. It is quite an impressive tool. I really liked it because you didn't have to install an agent on anything. It would just go out and do its discovery. For me, that's great."
"Gives us the ability to see our network."
"The integration with other SolarWinds products is good."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to look for any increases in bandwidth over time so that we can plan before it becomes critical."

With more features, I would have to start installing network agents or something else, and I don't want to have to install anything. This was the value for me about this device."
"The Atlas module that is used for building the network map is very bad."
"It's not a cheap product, so the pricing could be improved."
