We performed a comparison between Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline and SolarWinds NPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, ServiceNow, Microsoft and others in Event Monitoring."It offers straightforward integration."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the encryption feature. From a security perspective, the solution hasn't significantly strengthened our security posture. However, it has greatly improved performance by streamlining encryption processes and avoiding encryption at multiple layers. This has also simplified troubleshooting, as we can whitelist certain processes."
"The most valuable feature is NetFlow."
"The solution is straightforward to set up."
"It has high stability."
"It is a good product. It provides network visibility, which is important. Gigamon can bring some optimizations to my network. It is helpful for security inspection, and it makes my firewall work fast because my firewall doesn't have to do the inspection of the SSL connections, for example."
"The most valuable feature for improving network visibility with Gigamon is the packet filtering capability."
"It did a good job of the collection and then an investigation of the net flow of information for understanding the applications that were being used at certain locations."
"I like that SolarWinds NPM is a strong tool for monitoring network devices, switches, and routers. It's also a user-friendly tool. My team also likes how scalable it is."
"This has helped us to monitor the availability of our routers, switches, servers, and virtual environments."
"This solution offers a very good view of our network and allows us to effectively monitor performance."
"It gives us a map of the network setup and one console to see the entire network."
"We had some interfaces where the SFP Ports were having some problems after a while. We found which of the SFP Ports was having the error and changed it, so the bandwidth become okay."
"The people in technical support are very good."
"We have configured multiple alerts for our network devices, including routers and switches, so that we are notified if any interface goes down."
"In terms of improvement, while the initial setup is not overly complicated, we did encounter a few issues."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
"They should increase the solution's cluster capacity."
"Its filtering feature needs improvement."
"The security should be improved."
"The Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline should have a feature showing the traffic flow within its platform. Currently, customers have to use separate tools for monitoring, which is inconvenient. If it had its visibility feature, it would make monitoring easier and more complete without needing extra tools."
"It only inspects a specific kind of traffic. There should be different kinds of use cases."
"We'd like to see a bit more automation in the future."
"The scalability can be better."
"The solution could be more secure."
"The improvement would be that SolarWinds NPM thoroughly checks its patches before releasing them to the market. Better testing, alpha testing, and then releasing it to the market."
"It would be nice if SolarWinds added some technical protocols like Modbus. The market needs a simple solution for monitoring a technical device."
"If they’re going for a “cover everything” approach, then they need to do so and enable a bit more of the "cover everything approach" within every one of the tools."
"We decided that we were no longer going to trust that their products have not been capitalized."
"One of the challenges with SolarWinds is that in order to pull the data, we have to have a lot of false positives."
