    Impressive reporting and data mining features for time traveling through logs
    The solution needs to include centralized management that aligns with the Greenfield network and its focus on real-time, scenario-based applications. The solution is considered legacy and DNAC has overcome it because of centralized controls that allow a complete LAN network to be moved to centralized management. CISCO has suppressed the solution with no new development because they introduced DNAC and favor it rather than modifying the solution to the changing network environment. If this new tool hadn't been introduced, the solution would be improved to include SDWAN and SDA along with its other, better features. The solution's user interface could be improved to align with the changing market that is software-defined and includes graphic interfaces.

    Streamlines quick and effective drill-down into the network stack for better troubleshooting
    I would like to see a web-based interface that mimics the ease of doing data traces, similar to something like a Wireshark which is a Windows-based network monitoring tool. Wireshark is fast. I'm an old Windows guy, it's what I know. I think the liability of NetMaster is having to do things through the panels. It's slow to generate traces, and when you're doing a real-time troubleshooting call - when you have to wait 30 seconds for a process to spawn and fire up in order to give data back - 30 seconds is a long time when there's an issue. The user interface is probably the biggest impediment to my success with it.
