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.""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.""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."

More ExtraHop Reveal(x) for IT Operations Pros →

"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 support is good.""It has versatility to correlate different traffic types and performance management statistics.""The ability of the dashboards is useful for discover, mapping and understanding of application behaviour.""The solution helps us get to root cause quickly by using the Media Monitor to help identify QoS mismatches for voice calls on the network.""It is the ability to collect data and analyze it, especially key performance indicators. This is before a customer would call to the service center to complain that they have had bad coverage or a dropped call.""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.""The ability to be able to do detailed traffic analysis such as top-talkers, application-specific monitoring, and understanding them through patterns, is helpful. We're also able to gain an understanding of voice calls, voice traffic, whether we have packet loss in a certain part of the network or jitter or high latency that might be impacting the network. All of those are nice functionalities."

Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"Network visibility is something that needs to be improved.""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.""This solution would be improved if it had the ability to retain data longer.""I would improve the Rule-Based Access Control (RBAC) by providing granular access control to the data.""They have a new solution, ExtraHop Reveal(x), and I think it needs improvement."

More ExtraHop Reveal(x) for IT Operations Cons →

"The single pane of glass view is a challenge. I like the graphics, they're easy to understand, but when more digging is required, it's more complicated to get what I'm expecting.""The initial deployment is tedious and requires a lot of build, deployment and configuration time. Experience is key to a successful deployment.""There are so many pieces of their product that integrate with one another that perhaps a recommendation for improvement would be some sort of bigger overview and map to help understand how all their pieces integrate together.""There are so many features that it makes it hard to know it all. You end up paying for things that you don't use and probably don't even need. It might be better if Netscout came up with a modular way to pay for what you're going to use and not pay for all of this "white elephant" without being able to take advantage of all of it.""This is a typical thing, but every time they do a major code upgrade, we get hit with some nasty bugs. Some of them literally stop the whole platform from collecting traffic data. They should really do more Q&A on the software stability before release.""I would love to have them reassemble fragmented packets. That would be a very big plus in my book.""Another thing that would help out is if they packaged the NetFlow monitor into nGeniusONE. Their NetFlow monitor works with nGeniusONE where you can actually get the netflow of pretty much anything you hook it up to. But it's a separate box that you have to buy. If there was a way that could package that into nGeniusONE, it would be a complete package straight out of the box.""Initially, we were having a lot of issues with bugs when using version 6.1.1. There were a lot of problems with the dashboard causing confusion. We worked with our SE and the NETSCOUT engineering team to fix the visibility with the data. There should be a patch release to fix this issue. However, this seems to be working fine for us right now after the 6.2.2 upgrade."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "The pricing is fair considering the value provided."
  • "The pricing is higher than other solutions, but with such good features, I think it's worth it."
  • "The price of this solution for our environment is about £650,000 ($855,000 USD) for three years."
  • More ExtraHop Reveal(x) for IT Operations Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "If you are able and you are willing to use everything that Netscout provides to you, it's probably a relatively fair price. The problem is that it's such a large and such a complex tool that I'm not sure that many companies would be able to use it entirely, the way it's expected to be used."
  • "Like any company, we always want better pricing. The pricing is okay, but it's not a cheap solution. When you want to deploy it across an enterprise as large as ours, you go into seven figures. It's not a cheap solution to get out there."
  • "Their pricing is very competitive with other solutions... But what I like about NETSCOUT's licensing is that it's shared across all their platforms. They don't create a new licensing scheme for every one of their products. So for nGeniusONE, you buy a certain license level, and it works on all of their products."
  • "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."
