Customization has supported changing project needs but user interface still needs more monitoring features
Customization is one of the best features because the solution was not standard. I had to modify it according to the customer requirements, and it allowed me to modify various components. Zend's debugging environment was sometimes used because I was working as a project manager, though I wasn't directly involved with the tool as there was an implementation guide that used that monitor. Zend's testing frameworks were helpful in finding issues.
