We performed a comparison between Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline and SolarWinds NPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, ServiceNow, Microsoft and others in Event Monitoring."It has high stability."
"The most valuable feature for improving network visibility with Gigamon is the packet filtering capability."
"The solution is straightforward to set up."
"The most valuable feature is NetFlow."
"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."
"It offers straightforward integration."
"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 product covers our needs for the basic care and feeding of servers, whether they are physical or virtual."
"The most important feature is reporting. The reports that are generated are useful and they save a lot of time with respect to monitoring."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"Being able to easily, and quickly obtain disc space statistics from servers and determine how much was free or used on various volumes."
"It is scalable."
"What I've found most valuable about the solution is that it's scalable."
"It is very extensible with 'SWQL' and APIs to where we are beginning to integrate it with network automation."
"There are a lot of options for customization of the dashboard, alerts, and reports."
"The security should be improved."
"Its filtering feature needs improvement."
"In terms of improvement, while the initial setup is not overly complicated, we did encounter a few issues."
"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."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
"It only inspects a specific kind of traffic. There should be different kinds of use cases."
"We are looking to change away from this solution because of the documentation and the solution doesn't have enough integration in our country. The documentation is too weak."
"Consolidation of platforms would provide a smoother experience."
"SolarWinds NPM could improve by adding the deepest inspection, performance networking, and IP address discovery."
"It has covered everything, so no improvement is required at their end. The only thing is the price."
"In terms of scalability, there is room for improvement. When you start monitoring, if you have so many interfaces and you're trying to monitor them at a faster interval, or a shorter interval, you get to a point where you need to request another node."
"If they could combine everything into one product, that would be very helpful."
"It would be nice if SolarWinds added some technical protocols like Modbus. The market needs a simple solution for monitoring a technical device."
"This product could improve by adding cloud monitoring. I want SolarWinds NPM to do much more integration, and have more involvement in cloud monitoring, like AWS or Google, or Azure. I feel like it requires lots of improvement for cloud monitoring in NPM."
