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

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Pros →

"The most valuable feature is the way it handles data, from Layer 2 up to Layer 7. We can see everything that happens in the network.""Not only can you look at the protocol import level. It also has a live PCAP analysis.""The most valuable features are security detections, perimeter detection, dashboards, and alerts.""This solution is more applications reference architecture focused. Its benefit is that it specializes in that space.""There are many valuable features in this product, but probably the biggest is the customization capability it has.""Wire data analytics."

More ExtraHop Reveal(x) for IT Operations Pros →

"The most valuable feature is being able to pull traffic patterns; to and from destinations. We're able to understand where our traffic is going, our top talkers from an AS set, as well as where our traffic's coming from.""One of the valuable features is the intuitive nature of building out reports, and then triggering actions based on specific metrics from those reports. It has a really good UI and the ability to surface data through the reporting functions is pretty good. That's helped a lot in the security space.""The most valuable features have been anything around traffic engineering: being able to determine the source or destination of a surge of traffic, whether it's DDoS-related, or a customer just happened to have a sudden uptick in traffic. Being able to tell where that's coming from or where it's going to enables us to do things based on that.""We're also using Kentik to ingest metrics. It's a useful feature, and its response time, whenever we're pulling back the data, is higher than our on-prem solution.""I am able to do a lot of work on the visualization end to create different visualizations and different ways to get information out of it.""Having the API access allows us to do a great deal of automation around a lot of our reporting and management tools.""We're pretty happy with the API functionality. It's web, and it's very simple to set up queries. It has served us well and you don't need to be an expert on the API or the product to set these things up.""The drill-down into detailed views of network activity helps to quickly pinpoint locations and causes. All the information is there."

Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"They have a new solution, ExtraHop Reveal(x), and I think it needs improvement.""We'd like to see a local presence within the region in order to have seamless service whether it's the support, the implementation, or professional services.""They either have to go broad or decide what their bread and butter is and get really good at that.""I would improve the Rule-Based Access Control (RBAC) by providing granular access control to the data.""This solution would be improved if it had the ability to retain data longer.""Network visibility is something that needs to be improved."

More ExtraHop Reveal(x) for IT Operations Cons →

"We asked for a way, regarding the potential networks that exist, to hook Kentik up with external tools like peering DBs to correlate things together and see what we can do... This is all in the [next] beta now.""I would like to see them explore the area of cost analysis.""I believe they're already working on this, but I would love for them to create better integrations from network flow data to application performance — tracing — so that we could overlay that data more readily. With more companies going hybrid, flow logs and flow data, whether it be VPC or on-prem, matched with application performance and trace data, is pretty important.""There is room for improvement around the usability of the API. It's a hugely complex task to call it and you need a lot of backing to be able to do it. I should say, as someone who's not in networking, maybe it's easier for people who are in networking, but for me that one part is not very user-friendly.""I consider the pricing model as an area for improvement.""I've checked out the V4 version of the interface and it's still a little bit clunky for me to use. I still go back to the old interface. That's definitely one that they still need to work on. It doesn't seem like everything that you get in the V3, the older interface, is there. For instance, I was trying to add a user or do the administrative tasks in V4, and I couldn't figure out where I was supposed to do that.""They're moving more in a direction where they are saying, "Hey, here's information that you may be interested in or may a need," before the question has to explicitly be asked. Continuing to move in that direction would be a good thing.""The only downside to Kentik, something that I don't like, is that it's great that it shows you where these anomalies lie, but it's not actionable. Kentik is valuable, don't get me wrong, but if it had an actionable piece to it..."
