"I value the feature which enables me to detect devices talking to suspect IPs."
"Being able to identify specific date closed across the network is invaluable."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its reporting and mitigation capabilities."
"The solution allowed us to not only get gain insight but also start collaborating with other tools."
