What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is very stable. I haven't experienced bugs or crashes.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I've never tried to scale the solution, so I don't know how easy it would be. However, I do think it is possible to scale if you need to.
In my organization, only five people are currently using it.
How are customer service and support?
I've never contacted technical support. If I have questions, I look at forums to find the answers that I need. I've found their forums to be very good and quite helpful.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I often use another product as well to obtain a graph for the data centers and for virtualization. I can't remember the name of it, however.
How was the initial setup?
The solution's initial setup is very straightforward. I didn't find it to be complex at all.
Deployment only takes a few hours. It should only take two or three hours at a maximum.
What about the implementation team?
I handled the deployment myself. I didn't need the assistance of a specialist.
What other advice do I have?
I only use the solution a little bit, not too extensively.
I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
