We performed a comparison between ExtraHop Reveal(x) and Nagios Network Analyzer based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Traffic Analysis (NTA) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features of ExtraHop Reveal(x) are the detection and alerting of network behavior and anomalies."
"We had useful information within the hour of deployment. The ability to trace back for historical analysis, as well as the behavioral analysis done with the security information, puts the user in a position to make an informed decision to mitigate the performance or security incidents. Regarding the security incidents, Reveal (x) is able to create incident cards that guide your teams through the incidents and gives you the option to delve into the transaction detail to potentially view payloads as well."
"It's a wire analytics tool. We use it for isolating and determining issues on our network or applications. It does a lot for crediting the network as opposed to discrediting the network. A lot of people come along and say that it's a network issue. It's always considered to be a network issue, but by using ExtraHop, we can quickly tell them that it's not a networking issue. It's something to do with your application or something at the other end. It could be a database issue. This tool gives us the ability to pinpoint with great accuracy the comings and goings on our network."
"The solution works well for sending sensors."
"The security features of this solution are the most valuable."
"Reveal X integrates seamlessly with CrowdStrike. If you see something sketchy on the network, you can quarantine devices through ExtraHop and it'll push to the CrowdStrike server."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"The solution's ability to decrypt SSL traffic is its most valuable feature."
"The network monitoring feature, especially, stands out to me."
"Its initial setup process is straightforward."
"It is highly customizable and can be integrated well with third-party software."
"Network tracking is the most valuable feature of Network Analyzer."
"The solution is useful for monitoring network devices."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The tool's UI is user-friendly, and pricing is affordable. It is very easy to deploy and learn."
"The solution offers very good system monitoring. It's easy to manage your network, as well as your hardware and software. It's really useful."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"Agent management could certainly use some focus. It should also be a little bit easier to work with collections. We should be able to nest collections within collections. There should be better nesting."
"ExtraHop Reveal(x) could improve by allowing a longer look back in the feature. Right now you have a limit of 30 days to look back on your activity. I've used Darktrace before, and they allow you the ability to play back events. This would be a good feature to have in ExtraHop Reveal(x)."
"The solution's reporting part and GUI are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"I think the tuning capabilities could be improved. We're working on minimizing false positives. Apart from that, everything seems fine to me."
"They used to have the ability to decode Citrix sign-on, setup, and tear down. Unfortunately, Citrix has stopped sharing that knowledge. Citrix has continued to change its model of processing, making it harder and harder to troubleshoot."
"It needs integration with more security vendors."
"There is a little training online, but it'd be cool if ExtraHop provided certifications. CrowdStrike does elective training that gives you a certification as a Falcon administrator. It'd be nice to see ExtraHop have something like that"
"Nagios Network Analyzer should integrate an application monitoring solution to monitor application bandwidth usage."
"They need to have some automation models embedded in them."
"There are some loopholes you need to be aware of from a security perspective."
"The graphics and reports can be a little bit better."
"The bandwidth for its front-end version needs enhancement."
"I think the reports can be improved. They're adopted."
"It's very hard to install materials. You need a lot of documentation. They should make it easier to install and configure the solution."
"There is room for improvement on the setup side."
