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."
"From our perspective, ThousandEyes stands out as an invaluable tool because of its deep and extensive capabilities."
"The most valuable features are integration and ease of use."
"It's fairly easy to set up."
"The installation process is not hard at all."
"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."
"The authentication overall - including to the VPN and LAN - is excellent."
"The company provides excellent service."
"ThousandEyes gives companies better visibility."
"compare-to-competition; I would recommend the product. I don't think there is any other product like this on the market right now."
"It's very user-friendly in the sense that the querying is just regular language like you and I speak or write. You don't need to know any SQL-query type of language to be able to get what you want out of it."
"If we deploy NSX it shows us how the workflow will flow in the organization, what the roadblocks are, and what we need to do to overcome those hurdles. When we run this product, it gives us reports which describe problems with physical switches. We work with the network team to get them all resolved."
"The most valuable feature for us is that insight into what our network is really doing - it's a fairly complex network. Not having to go through thousands of lines of network configuration to find firewall ports that were open or closed, for various ports, was very valuable. It went out and found everything we need very quickly."
"The most valuable feature is being able to easily see the path that the VM traffic is taking, what ports are in use."
"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."
"With this product, we can precisely identify communication patterns between virtual machines within our data center, whether it's east-east or east-west communication."
"Whenever we say "valuable" with respect to the network, it's more towards the security. The firewall rule issues it shows us and the recommendations that we get from vRNI are the most valuable features because they are actually making our network more secure."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The guest portal is hard to use."
"I would like the product to offer more agility."
"The tool does not provide features for application-level monitoring."
"It would be nice if the solution covered other areas like server monitoring."
"There is room for improvement in terms of customization and user-friendliness."
"ThousandEyes could improve the dashboards by adding more features."
"It might be practical to extend monitoring capabilities to include network devices"
"Presently, it lacks the ability to integrate with other Cisco products."
"vRNI needs more remediation where it hooks into NSX."
"There are some random glitches in the Web UI, but they are usually pretty cosmetic in nature. I don't really seem to use any browser other than Chrome with it. I also get some weird errors from time to time on the hardware NetFlow Collectors, where it doesn't sync data."
"The only reason I would not give it a nine or a 10 is for cost reasons. It seems to be one of those things that really belongs as part of the product inherently and not as an add-on. That would be my only concern."
"In a very general way, I would like to see an improvement in interoperability with third-party product, from other vendors."
"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."
"I would like to see application identification. That would be cool."
"I want to see more in terms of microsegmentation. As of now, I can see the rules, but they are not in a readable format that I can convert to microsegmentation and can fit into NSX Manager."
"I would like to see them expand the capabilities to infrastructure types other than just VMware."
