Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, ServiceNow, Microsoft and others in Event Monitoring."The most valuable feature for improving network visibility with Gigamon is the packet filtering capability."
"It is a good product. It provides network visibility, which is important. Gigamon can bring some optimizations to my network. It is helpful for security inspection, and it makes my firewall work fast because my firewall doesn't have to do the inspection of the SSL connections, for example."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the encryption feature. From a security perspective, the solution hasn't significantly strengthened our security posture. However, it has greatly improved performance by streamlining encryption processes and avoiding encryption at multiple layers. This has also simplified troubleshooting, as we can whitelist certain processes."
"The most valuable feature is NetFlow."
"It offers straightforward integration."
"It has high stability."
"The solution is straightforward to set up."
"There are some whitelist blacklist capabilities in the MX dashboard, which is very helpful."
"The solution scales well."
"The ability to view the entire project stack, including the camera, features, and routers, which I believe are the most important or relevant components."
"What I love most about the Meraki Dashboard are its user-friendly features."
"Some of the features I have found valuable are the ease of access, simple configuration, and monitoring."
"The most valuable feature is the single pane of glass that gives you multisite visibility."
"We have found the client dashboard to be very simple to use, especially in our Meraki environment."
"It's a simple, functional solution."
"The Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline should have a feature showing the traffic flow within its platform. Currently, customers have to use separate tools for monitoring, which is inconvenient. If it had its visibility feature, it would make monitoring easier and more complete without needing extra tools."
"It only inspects a specific kind of traffic. There should be different kinds of use cases."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
"In terms of improvement, while the initial setup is not overly complicated, we did encounter a few issues."
"They should increase the solution's cluster capacity."
"Its filtering feature needs improvement."
"The security should be improved."
"I would like to receive decent notification alerts regarding the license's expiry. Or any help on correcting or optimizing licenses, because in certain circumstances you can add a license but it's the wrong licensing. However, the Dashboard adds the license in some way, and you do not utilize it. You can simply extend the license's expiration date."
"Price could be reduced."
"You can't really clone or replicate a device, that sort of feature would be useful. You can clone the site but you cannot clone the device."
"If I am a user and I have a seat on the fourth floor, if I move across the building, the system should be able to track me and should be able to figure out my whereabouts or my position within the building if I'm connected to the wireless. That would make the administrator's life easier in terms of reachability."
"The tool is useful for managing devices and monitoring their current state, but it falls short in troubleshooting network issues, particularly with access points. It does not provide a complete understanding of the root causes of the issues. As a result, network engineers have had to use additional tools to complement it and conduct assessments. The only way to improve the tool would be to enhance its capability to identify and resolve network issues effectively."
"What we would like from the IT perspective is a lot more granular control, more visibility into the packets, into the routing, and things of that nature."
"When users are trying to roam from one location to another location, geographical tracking would be helpful."
"There are some issues with the NAT configuration, it is now impossible to some operations with the solution."
