Analyze and troubleshoot your network data like a pro. Query, filter, drill in to any level of detail, zoom out, and add context by selecting predefined and custom dimensions from a menu - no need for complex query statements. Find the answers you need, including root cause of network problems, in record time, even across mountains of data or over long time periods.

GET AI-DRIVEN INSIGHTS:
Get AI-driven insights on network trends and brewing problems with cues to the underlying cause. Find alert history, impacting factors, and triggering patterns of detected issues and act on recommended workflows.

INFORM WITH DASHBOARDS:
Use intuitive dashboards and reports to see patterns quickly, share with colleagues, and influence decisions in your organization. Save time with a vast library of predefined dashboards and reports, or customize them easily.

INTEGRATE AND AUTOMATE:
