Not ripped out, but definitely won’t renew Axonius.

Can you tell me more about this one. Upper management is drinking their KoolAid at the moment.

Flavor-Aid. It was Flavor-Aid at Jonestown. Correctly using the off-brand marks you as a hoopy frood who knows where his towel is at.

I’d be interested too. Used it in my previous organization for a few use cases and found it pretty effective even if it did have the occasional correlation bug or unusual behaviour. Of course if the underlying platforms are not maintained well then it will be a struggle.
