  • Data capture against a wide variety of sources (logs, events, windows, Linux systems)
  • Ability to find specific events in the logs
  • Basically unlimited history
  • Useful dashboard (although not really once you dig into it)
  • It's based on Java engine that is slow -- reports are often difficult to build (we are going to upgrade the machine it's running on to see if this is the issue)
  • Keeping this software up to date is a pain; there should be a better "update" function
  • The naming and navigation are terrible -- it's never clear which feature you're looking for and where it's hidden in the menus
  • Adding machines is not as easy as it should be; occasionally there are IP conflicts that are nearly impossible to resolve

  • Activity reporting
