Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable features are integration and ease of use."
"From our perspective, ThousandEyes stands out as an invaluable tool because of its deep and extensive capabilities."
"The authentication overall - including to the VPN and LAN - is excellent."
"ThousandEyes gives companies better visibility."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The installation process is not hard at all."
"It's fairly easy to set up."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution was the ability to see how the connection quality is between the sites and get an alert if it was turning bad."
"It has really tightened down the security. That was something that we were lacking. It has also given us deep visibility into our network. We can really get down and see all of the traffic within the data center, between the VMs, between the applications, database servers, other application servers, web servers. We can identify everything that is communicating, and we can see it all on one product."
"It allows us to go from virtual through NSX, up to the core, and see all of that in one pane of glass, it's pretty easy."
"It helps a lot because, until now, we didn't have the tools to figure out the micro level, VM-to-VM kind of traffic; that was not in the current environment. We could not figure out VM-to-VM communication from the other tools. This is the tool which gives us end-to-end transparency."
"It provides deep visibility into what is happening with traffic and helps us manage our network."
"The graphical interface of this environment is so good with all the views, the graphics, and everything in them. It's really easy for me. It doesn't need an engineer to work on it. It's easy enough that anyone can get into the environment and look for issues or look at how communication is going on across the VMs. It's pretty much straightforward."
"As a troubleshooting tool, it's a level-3 troubleshooting-skills tool and it's very easy to use and very easy to find the information that you need."
"It has definitely helped us to meet compliance rules by assuring that all traffic is going to where it's supposed to go. It can be used to report that you are in compliance, as well as helping you get into compliance."
"It especially helps with deploying NSX, that you're not having to manually chase down and figure out what you need to do to microsegment VMs. This gives a nice option where you can say, "Hey, this VM, show me what flows are there." I can export it out and then import it as an NSX rule and job done."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"It's an expensive solution."
"It might be practical to extend monitoring capabilities to include network devices"
"ThousandEyes could improve the dashboards by adding more features."
"There is room for improvement in terms of customization and user-friendliness."
"The tool does not provide features for application-level monitoring."
"They only offer synthetic requests."
"It would be nice if the solution covered other areas like server monitoring."
"The guest portal is hard to use."
"vRNI needs more remediation where it hooks into NSX."
"The solution is very much viewer centric and it would be nice if it would transcend just the virtual infrastructure."
"There is room for improvement when it comes to pricing because we pay here in Brazil, and all the costs are based on the dollar."
"Support could be much better."
"The compatibility with each and every component of the infrastructure is the main thing that I am looking for. I would like them to make sure that it's compatible with different kinds of storage systems, etc. I have seen the compatibility list. I feel it can be more compatible than it is right now."
"I would like to see more reporting features, more dashboards."
"It just needs to be more reliable and more accurate. At some point, there are some things where it does not match properly."
"There's enough information there, especially in the visualizations, but I would love to see this in a kiosk mode, where I could have a dashboard for interested stakeholders to see and appreciate what's going on. Then, moving on to a more practical level for our Help Desk, our operations team could benefit by seeing, in real-time, a visual view of the network."
