Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Juniper, Aviatrix and others in Software Defined Networking (SDN)."What I liked about the solution is the quick and easy way you can build a network data center fabric."
"It helps us get to the root cause quickly. It helps us find massive error codes, then we drill down on that error code, knowing that is the source of our problem."
"The stability of this product is ok."
"Network faults are easily and quickly identified through dashboards and drill down."
"Valuable features include data threat detection, network analytics, and overall bandwidth monitoring."
"We are using nGeniusONE to run our bandwidth capacity management reports. In the past, we used to be very reactive, we used to depend a lot on suppliers to tell us which sites are our hot sites, meaning, which have high bandwidth utilization. Now we do this in a much more proactive way and we are moving to a more predictive approach in that aspect, thanks to nGeniusONE."
"From the standpoint of VoLTE and related things, it's providing visibility into the network and how it operates."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features are visibility, real-time, on-demand."
"I think if I was to say something that could be improved, it would be a multi-data center nature of the implementation."
"There was a point in GTP where we were creating services on nodes and after that we wanted to have services on APN. We can't have both... There are some limitations with these types of things. When we would like to use a feature, we have to remove another one."
"It could have an easier to understand interface."
"On a network the size of ours, the loading times seem a little extensive, 20 or 30 seconds to load up some graphs."
"Some of the filters could be easier to see and to set up. That's the only thing that I've ever had any trouble with."
"The dependency mapping is good, but I am hopeful that they will build some type of partnership and relationship with ServiceNow. I want to see NETSCOUT partner with ServiceNow so they can leverage Service Now Discovery and Service Mapping to automate the build of the service dependency mappings inside of nGeniusONE."
"They can improve still on the workflows, document their workflows that are commonly used... We don't know some of the workflows yet, and it's not something that you can just read up in the manual. There is some stuff in the help manual and online, but it's to a point where you need to purchase extra training and services from them. You can't just go and read up on it yourself and learn from A to Z..."
"Initial setup was complex."
"I would like more in-depth convergence between all the applications, especially when I look for information through a data mine."
