Compare ClearSight Analyzer vs. NETSCOUT nGeniusONE
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
"What ClearSight will do is it actually maps out the conversation for you." | "Valuable features include data threat detection, network analytics, and overall bandwidth monitoring." "For me, the most valuable features are the dashboards which we use to highlight the overall impact to the customers, and being able to drill down into the nitty-gritty of the customer experience." "The fact that it's able to capture and store packets from the wires is very useful for troubleshooting with our vendors, when issues do come up. It's valuable that we have that overall data for them." "The details it provides are among the most valuable features; the ability to drill down and get to the packet level." "If one of our network pipes is getting plugged up by somebody using too much bandwidth, we can use the NETSCOUT tool to examine and find out what is going on." "The best feature is when we have it connected permanently via TAPs. That enables us to constantly collect data and then we can go back in time... To be able to rewind, back in time, and see the problem as it happened, is very helpful." "From the standpoint of VoLTE and related things, it's providing visibility into the network and how it operates." "The most valuable feature of this solution is being able to drill down into any kind of troubles that are reported to us, by use of identifiers." |
Cons | |
"I would like to see a multi-user version where you can have a launch platform and, potentially, instead of buying six licenses you buy 12 seats or something like that." | "The feature I am looking for is the Arbor technology, especially to run in parallel with our firewall... It's getting there." "A lot of tools highlight what's going on but they don't actually pinpoint the user experience. It would be good if there were a small message or something highlighting what the user experience is like and any degradation that's actually occurring." "For individual subscriber tracings, sometimes it does not capture all the messages. There is a little bit of room for improvement there." "It could have an easier to understand interface." "One of the products we use is SolarWinds, and it provides a very cool mapping of an agent from end-to-end. If NETSCOUT could somehow implement that into their design... make it quicker and easier to get those net paths, it would be huge." "On a network the size of ours, the loading times seem a little extensive, 20 or 30 seconds to load up some graphs." "Our biggest area of concern right now, supporting the applications, is that while NETSCOUT does a good job of monitoring the network and the applications, we need more visibility into system health and performance monitoring." "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." |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
"It was pretty modest because you could get it in different ways. I think the six licenses, at that time, were about $1,000 each. But then again, I work for a school and educators tend to get discounts on things. So maybe it cost us about five or six hundred a copy." | "Cost is probably the biggest drawback. Compared to some of the newer vendors that have popped up in the space, it's definitely more on the expensive side... [But] it's been able to keep its value, even in the face of the cheaper competition." "The biggest problem we have with this product is the expense." "It can be expensive, but if you have a good configuration, based on what you are looking for, it's okay, it's manageable." "It is very expensive, but it's well worth the money." "It is a little overall pricey and expensive, but you get what you pay for." "The scalability becomes very expensive quickly." "The license becomes cost prohibitive very quickly." "Licensing is flexible, it's not tied to anything else. We can easily switch up the licensing piece... Obviously, NETSCOUT is a little bit in the higher range, but it gives you value for money. You get what you pay for." |
