Pros

Feature Ratings Average rating of all product features, some of which may not be shown below

Monitoring Observes the network and its exhibited behavior including events and performance outliers, performing measurements to assess delivered service levels.

Learning Availability in the system of capabilities or means for learning, reasoning, and knowledge representation and management.

Single Source of Truth A single set of validated intent expressions and state information of the system.

Mitigation Minimizing the effects of compromised intents aims at making the intent-based system operationally safe by providing checkpoint and safeguard mechanisms.

Explainability Resolution of conflicting intent, reconciliation of what the user wants and what the network can actually do and actually did.

Natural Language Speak the language of the user as opposed to requiring the user to speak the language of the device/network.

Intent Translation Translate user intent into courses of action and requests to take against the network, which will be meaningful to network configuration and provisioning system

Outcome-driven Users do not need to be concerned with how intent is achieved and are empowered to think in terms of outcomes.

Security Mechanisms and practices may consist in intent verification and validation; operations on intents by authenticated and authorized users only.

Assurance Compare the actual network behavior that is being monitored and observed with the intended behavior that is expected per the single source of truth.

Abstraction Supporting different forms of expression of intents and being capable of refining the intent expressions to well-formed and exploitable expressions.
