Case Study: Department of Defense

“In my opinion, these provide me the core information needed to recognize performance issues on my networks. NCM has helped tremendously in highlighting compliance issues and improving our configuration management posture. The ability to maintain and search logs with Kiwi Syslog Server has helped in numerous ways, such as helping identify root cause for failures. Once we purchase LEM, we expect to make improvements here as well as aiding our cyber security capability.”
