Pros
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Pros →

"The solution's technical support is very good.""We get complete, hop-by-hop visibility into the internet and we can know how much latency is taking place from one hop to another. That way, we know whether a particular hop belongs to the ISP, or that it is something owned by our own client's office, or is something to do with the SaaS network.""This solution helps prove that, if we move to cloud, we'll still be as effective as we are on-premises.""The product helps us understand networks and user experience. It helps us to understand the issues.""A lot of times one of the AppNeta transactions showed that there is an issue, whereas everything seemed to be working properly. Once we dug into it, we realized that it really was highlighting a problem that otherwise we would not have seen.""Delivery and experience are valuable. The usage in terms of the traffic application captures and other similar things is also valuable.""The main feature that we use is what they call Delivery, which is the testing of network paths end-to-end."

More AppNeta by Broadcom Pros →

"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of resources.""The documentation is very good.""The interface in the last few years it has been a lot greater, they are much more user-friendly. I like the interface.""The most valuable features are network bandwidth monitoring and monitoring device health.""The installation and configuration process are easy.""We no longer have to manually search for problems because we are alerted when something in the network goes down.""This is a good, stable network monitoring solution for devices.""The most important features of WhatsUp Gold are the server health and uptime it provides. Additionally, WhatsUp Gold is a Windows-based solution which is a benefit."

Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"I think some of the product's documentation has shortcomings and needs improvement.""They should try and make diagnostics run a bit quicker. When the problem occurs on a network, AppNeta runs automatic diagnostics on the end-to-end path. The path it was testing only to the destination, it now runs the same test to all of the devices and all the intermediate devices. Depending on the number of intermediate devices, it can take several minutes to run. If we're trying to find or diagnose a problem that only lasts two or three minutes, it may be that the diagnostics is still running by the time the problem is cleared. The only thing, which I have also mentioned to AppNeta in the past, is that there should be much faster and much more lightweight diagnostics, which can be completed within 30 seconds or one minute, rather than in 5 to 10 minutes.""Having to deal with configuring the end devices using a USB stick is a bit cumbersome. It would be nice if there was a better way of handling that.""Cloud monitoring could be better. That's one of the biggest pain points for me. I have shared this feedback with them multiple times, but they're limited to some extent. That's one area where I've seen a problem.""I would like to see some advanced dashboard features. It could also be integrated with third-party tools. For example, an integration with a reporting solution would be helpful. Out-of-the-box, there are few dashboards or reports. What it does have is useful, but there should be additional dashboards.""AppNeta by Broadcom needs to add more features to its dashboards. It also needs to work on providing out-of-the-box reports.""Instead of integrating with other people, they should expand their interior capabilities."

More AppNeta by Broadcom Cons →

"Pricing is too high relative to how many devices we use. The price list is not linear to number of devices.""Integrations with other devices. I want to have a product that has full integration with my active directory so I can track user activity. I want to track my complete user activity, so I'm looking for a product to implement in the near future, which will have full integration with my network and active directory users. It became very difficult to track user activity.""The product is old and not updated.""I might like to see a better interface in the future.""You have to invest a few days to become an expert in this solution.""The pricing for this solution has gone up quite recently, which has led some of our customers to buy an alternative product.""The new release cadence needs to be improved. It takes a while for them to add new features and functionality. There should be a quicker turnaround with new versions.""Regional product team support is not very good."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "I inherited this from a different version, and I haven't yet gone through a renewal because we had purchased three years upfront. So, to me, that still remains to be seen. Once it comes up for renewal, we'll see what happens. Especially because now it is Broadcom, it is going to change anyway."
  • "Broadcom software is always a little expensive because they provide quality."
  • "We typically don't get involved in the commercial side, but the list price is probably something like $3,000 for a small probe. However, that gives all of the features that the probe can do, whether or not you use them. In the old days, up until two or three years ago, each of the separate features was a separately licensable module so that you could add things that you wanted, and you didn't have to add things that you didn't want. They've changed all that now, and everything the probe can do is a part of the base license."
  • "The small probe is probably around $3,000 and the very large probe that they make for massive data centers might be $50,000 or $60,000. It's a subscription model, so the payment is per year."
  • "It's worth the money."
  • "I find the solution's price to be fairly good."
  • "AppNeta by Broadcom is not expensive."
  • More AppNeta by Broadcom Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Pricing is reasonable compared to other products."
  • "I'm not sure, but it's expensive. We don't pay any additional fees."
  • "The choice of version depends on the number of points, or devices, that you want to monitor, and this makes the product expensive."
  • "The pricing can be on the expensive side when considering competing products."
  • "There are some subscription charges that are quite heavy. I need to pay for support every year and these charges can be quite expensive. Aside from the initial cost for the tool, you need to pay additionally for support."
  • "It is per device, per year. The pricing is very clear. If you have a service agreement, you get all of your major upgrades and minor upgrades. It was under $10,000 to go all-in with all of the different add-ons for it."
  • "The most valuable feature is the cost compared to other solutions."
  • "This is a well priced solution."
