Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the stability of the solution."
"I like running the scripts. With the help of a Python script, we deployed within the configuration and built up the code."
"Automation of the ILS."
"The product makes the management of our environment simpler."
"You can integrate all the networks into the software."
"After installation, you almost forget that it is working."
"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."
"It uses push technology, which pushes the changes to all relevant devices to ensure they are updated accordingly."
"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."
"It offers straightforward integration."
"The solution is straightforward to set up."
"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."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The reporting is not very intuitive and has room for improvement."
"The tool's pricing strategy could be improved to compete more effectively in the market, especially against competitors like Huawei, Aruba, and Juniper."
"Data Center Network Manager is a little complex because it includes a lot of hardware to be installed."
"We need better performance and reliability."
"One of the biggest challenges is that we aren't always able to push the configuration onto the target device. Whenever this happens, we have to do a factory reset, put on the script, and then reconfigure it again. In the next release, I would like to have a troubleshooting feature."
"The configuration is too complicated and you have to create templates and use a lot of menus."
"Automation for the RMA process can be added."
"In the next release, I would like to see it merged with Prime and I think that it should be more unified."
"The security should be improved."
"It only inspects a specific kind of traffic. There should be different kinds of use cases."
"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."
"In terms of improvement, while the initial setup is not overly complicated, we did encounter a few issues."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
"Its filtering feature needs improvement."
"They should increase the solution's cluster capacity."
