“I started out with OSSIM and I didn’t fully realize how much value I would get out of USM until I started using it.
The reporting is awesome, it’s been a big benefit for me. And, having a fully supported solution means I can get
answers to my questions much more quickly than before.”
– Matthew Frederickson, Director of Information Technology, Council Rock School District
