Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the consolidated dashboard, providing insights into parameters and overall usage of network features. It allows us to easily summarize insights through the dashboards. The solution offers automation capabilities, particularly in the context of connecting LAN sites with websites."
"Automation of the ILS."
"Fabric suite automation is a great feature."
"You can integrate all the networks into the software."
"I don't have to rely on the on-site engineer who can do the configuration. I can have our team just plug the devices and perform remotely. I can also do the templates."
"After installation, you almost forget that it is working."
"It uses push technology, which pushes the changes to all relevant devices to ensure they are updated accordingly."
"We use the product to manage access points."
"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 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 most valuable feature is NetFlow."
"It has high stability."
"The solution is straightforward to set up."
"It offers straightforward integration."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It's a relatively expensive product for some clients."
"If the customer thinks about using additional solutions, Cisco should make sure they are not left out."
"The configuration is too complicated and you have to create templates and use a lot of menus."
"In the next release, I would like to see it merged with Prime and I think that it should be more unified."
"Sometimes the product gives us problems that require support."
"The reporting is not very intuitive and has room for improvement."
"We need better performance and reliability."
"API lacks robustness."
"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."
"Its filtering feature needs improvement."
"The security should be improved."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
"They should increase the solution's cluster capacity."
"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."
