It is easy to configure, it works with different database engines like PostgresSQL or Oracle etc.,It integrates well into our applications which makes life easier when we have multiple apps running at once. No cons about this product as such but i would say that there are few minor bugs here nd there if one needs some immediate support then they should contact their sales team (if available) otherwise its ok! We use it mainly for logging & monitoring of various web services running on tomcat server. Also used by several other third party tools also for same purpose.We dont face any problems while integrating these products/tools since symmetrixds does all the hardwork itself without us having to do anything apart from configuring them properly.
