"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 has high stability."
"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."
"The solution is straightforward to set up."
"The product’s auto-remediation feature helps with automation."
"The product has helped our organization with in-depth monitoring."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of Windows and Linux servers."

"SCOM's most valuable features are the network path feature, reporting, and integration with business intelligence."
"This solution allows us to standardize all of the reports for monitoring the network, so it helps a lot for auditing purposes."
"We are able to do problem determination on runaway processes."
"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 security should be improved."
"Its filtering feature needs improvement."
"They should increase the solution's cluster capacity."
"It only inspects a specific kind of traffic. There should be different kinds of use cases."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
"In terms of improvement, while the initial setup is not overly complicated, we did encounter a few issues."

"In terms of features that could be improved, I would say the agent integration into the operating system. We are having difficulties integrating Linux into some of the networking devices."
"It lacks certain details that other products do better, like granular access and better application monitoring."
"SCOM needs to improve its usability."
"The solution’s initial setup is difficult."
"On-prem network monitoring is something that could be improved drastically."
"SCOM's feature that notifies us when a server is down is not present in recent updates, which has weakened the product."
