Great reporting and session logic with an easy initial setup
The initial setup isn't too difficult. It's pretty straightforward. An organization shouldn't have too much trouble with the setup. The deployment is very fast. It doesn't take too much time at all. It's likely less than five minutes. Honestly, it's almost instantaneous. There is no mapping. Once you're done with the customization you can use it. It's not time-consuming. The customization part is based on whatever keywords and attributes you are adding, and that's less than a minute of time to handle. There is no time consumed. You just need to add to a filter. You don't really need to worry about having too much maintenance. It's not required really. Maybe once the log is full, you may require a maintenance checkup of six months on. We have a server team that manages that aspect.

A solution that offers easy setup and deployment phases, along with great scalability and stability
I rate the initial setup a ten out of ten. The solution's initial setup was very straightforward. The solution is deployed on an on-premises and cloud model. The cloud services are provided by Rapid7. The solution can be deployed in half a day or four hours in a small environment. I was the only person involved in the product's deployment phase.
