Like

Scallability Advanced Analytics Real time alerts

Dislike

The cost is a bit high; I know it covers many areas, but it should be a little more affordable. It consumes a lot of space and memory on the CPU/Servers, and we didn't decide to implement it from the beginning.

Dislike

Customer support - Complex GUI for new users

Dislike

Heavy resource usage
