The graphic presentation of the data queries was impressive, one of the best we've seen, painting a clear picture of large and complex data sets.

The custom alarm rule setting function provides in-depth functionality in categories of classification, events, login and service rules. Varying thresholds and time requirements can also be set, like number of events before an alarm is triggered, and how often to report. Alarms can be delivered via email, SNMP or in the console.

The graphics formats visually depicting the data correlation were particularly impressive at summarizing trend data in easy-to-digest format.
