	Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros It was easy to use. It has an local agent so you can monitor local networks. It can check for Quantum readiness. The Network Monitor Assistant was really helpful it found a vulnerability on my nginx that I thought was up to date and secure. But it was not. Provides weekly reports Cons Interface looks a bit dated. Could do with more info on the site on its features and how to use them.
