Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"There are many valuable features in this product, but probably the biggest is the customization capability it has.""This solution is more applications reference architecture focused. Its benefit is that it specializes in that space.""The most valuable features are security detections, perimeter detection, dashboards, and alerts.""Not only can you look at the protocol import level. It also has a live PCAP analysis.""Wire data analytics.""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."

More ExtraHop Reveal(x) for IT Operations Pros →

"The reporting feature is good for us.""Very easy to implement.""The Real User Monitor, with its transaction and synthetic transaction monitoring, is the typical classic in APM cases when the customer would like to do transaction monitoring. Micro Focus scores better where the underlying infrastructure management is also covered by Micro Focus tools.""The most valuable feature is application performance monitoring.""Real User Monitor has improved our productivity.""The technical support is good at resolving issues.""The most useful feature of this solution is tracking. When the application's traffic has been monitored it is taken from that particular application and analyzed. It is then given a live session of that particular user. For example, if you are using your bank application to do some kind of transaction, everything that you do can be tracked by that application."

Cons
"This solution would be improved if it had the ability to retain data longer.""Network visibility is something that needs to be improved.""They have a new solution, ExtraHop Reveal(x), and I think it needs improvement.""I would improve the Rule-Based Access Control (RBAC) by providing granular access control to the data.""They either have to go broad or decide what their bread and butter is and get really good at that.""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."

More ExtraHop Reveal(x) for IT Operations Cons →

"This technology is considered to be older.""Some issues with login errors.""Real User Monitor needs to cover more protocols to provide more in-depth information. It could also be better at monitoring voice-related traffic. There is currently no visibility in that channel.""We would like to see support for non-Windows environments.""One area to improve is the user interface, of course. The second one is their R&D has virtually stopped building a product roadmap.""Everybody is moving away from traffic and installing agents on the application to do the job, but Micro Focus is using traditional ways to collect the traffic. They should change their architecture completely.""When we want to monitor our encrypted traffic, this product doesn't work because our cipher is not supported."
