We performed a comparison between Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline and SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 has high stability."
"It offers straightforward integration."
"The solution is straightforward to set up."
"The most valuable feature is NetFlow."
"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."
"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 software management tools are very useful for our customers."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its traffic analysis."
"SolarWinds has improved our organization because whenever a device is down, we get an alert."
"It helps us know when a branch is down because it has a graphic presentation of all the locations a node represents."
"What I like about SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is that it's useful for analyzing traffic. It also has an application visibility feature that lets you control applications."
"With SolarWinds, we are now able to accurately gauge bandwidth consumption."
"It is great at telling you if your devices are working and it keeps an eye on your network's overall performance."
"The performance analysis is a valuable feature. With the performance analyzer, we can see the realtime monitoring, the realtime performance, and historical performance on specific components like virtualization storage, CPU, servers and network equipment."
"Its filtering feature needs improvement."
"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."
"It only inspects a specific kind of traffic. There should be different kinds of use cases."
"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."
"The security should be improved."
"They should increase the solution's cluster capacity."
"What needs improvement in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is performance because sometimes, my team struggles too much for the solution to perform correctly for a specific deployment in my organization. Having a more detailed view in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is another area for improvement, but that's more part of the protocol than the actual solution."
"I would like to see better customization capabilities."
"Customer Support is quite complex."
"SolarWinds' technical support is ok, but it could be faster and more knowledgeable."
"Technical support could be improved with quicker response times."
"There is room for improvement when it comes to the traffic generated by the analyzer and the analysis of that traffic."
"The licensing should be more realistic so that we can adjust the number of nodes according to my needs, rather than in fixed increments."
"The Atlas module that is used for building the network map is very bad."
