"What's interesting here is the ability the Workspace Studio adds to personalize the use of the Toolset down to each individual user. Because these dashboards can be saved between uses, and even passed around, network engineers have the chance to make dashboards for general use, and also for the many different scenarios they go through each day. Here, the gains are the hope of increased efficiency, by eliminating the need to re-configure for each issue, and also the potential to improve an organization's view of the network by swapping Studio-created dashboards between network engineers." - Michael Cot, analyst, Redmonk.
