Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, ServiceNow, Microsoft and others in Event Monitoring."It offers straightforward integration."
"The most valuable feature is NetFlow."
"It has high stability."
"The solution is straightforward to set up."
"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 most valuable feature for improving network visibility with Gigamon is the packet filtering capability."
"We found that it was easy to operate, and it was simple if anyone has entry-level working experience or even if someone is not experienced."
"What I've found most valuable about the solution is that it's scalable."
"I can do everything remotely, including running PowerShell scripts or performing standard updates."
"It is scalable."
"We had some interfaces where the SFP Ports were having some problems after a while. We found which of the SFP Ports was having the error and changed it, so the bandwidth become okay."
"I like the tracking feature to track devices and see where they are connected. This is very practical."
"I found a lot of valuable features in SolarWinds NPM, such as the customized application monitoring that allows you to customize any monitoring and script customization, and you also have the option to deploy and upgrade SolarWinds NPM online, which is very useful for my organization."
"The set up was very easy. We didn't have any problems with the setup. The deployment took less than an hour."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
"Its filtering feature needs improvement."
"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."
"In terms of improvement, while the initial setup is not overly complicated, we did encounter a few issues."
"The security should be improved."
"They should increase the solution's cluster capacity."
"It is not that stable. As a Windows software, I have seen issues with SolarWinds. The performance is slow."
"The price of the solution can be improved."
"The tool can only monitor up to 1000 instances in a single SolarWinds console. Customers may have over 1000 instances. Hence, it needs to support a minimum of 1500 instances. It should also improve support."
"The evaluation time for the product is too short especially for large corporations."
"I would like to have a Syslog server module for this product. That would make the solution better."
"The solution needs to integrate with additional SDN technologies that are part of the hyper market."
"Technical support and releases are not particularly reliable."
"It is difficult for stakeholders to translate technical requirements, which results in difficulties selecting a platform or implementing a solution."
