Ability to drill into the network underlay – Per ISP, per node, per link 3. App-aware network visibility – SaaS, Cloud & On-prem – Ability to easily correlate between app performance and network level 4. Expanded view of user experience dependencies – Internet break-out, MPLS, SWGs, home working environments 5. Easy and quick fault isolation – Proactive, automated, collaborative, correlated, real-time & historical 1 2 3 4 5
