It's a topology/automation layer, not a metrics-collection NMS — you run it alongside a real monitor, and it carries enterprise pricing and a real implementation curve.

The honest take

Adjacent to monitoring rather than a monitor itself — it maps and automates diagnosis. Useful for big NetOps teams; overkill if you just need to know a switch went down.
