Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature for improving network visibility with Gigamon is the packet filtering capability.""The most valuable feature is NetFlow.""The solution is straightforward to set up.""It offers straightforward integration.""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.""It has high stability."

More Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline Pros →

"It catches frequent flapping of the network and provides detailed reports of outages.""Grouping, Threshold/alerts, Netflow analyser, Private MIB object support are most valuable as they can provide more visibility into network performance, and for network troubleshooting.""It also allows us to predict the capacity on WAN circuits, as well as other circuits, to help us plan for upgrading.""The most important feature for us is the interface statistics, because our customer normally asks us for bandwidth utilization reports. Statseeker has very descriptive transmit and receive information.""Whether it is a down network switch or a down router, we can get back online faster for the customers.""Statseeker helps to quickly see if you have a spike or something going on. In the future, we need to get NetFlow in the tool so we can see what the IP is.""The most valuable features are scalability and reliability.""We are now able to easily track where problems are with bandwidth and port errors, rather than having to do a lot of diagnostics."

Cons
"In terms of improvement, while the initial setup is not overly complicated, we did encounter a few issues.""The security should be improved.""They should increase the solution's cluster capacity.""Its filtering feature needs improvement.""The graphical user interface could be improved.""It only inspects a specific kind of traffic. There should be different kinds of use cases."

More Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline Cons →

"The interface could be more user-friendly and it would be nice if there were enhanced options for reporting.""I would like to see fully automatic updates so that our version is always current.""Maybe they could provide a little bit more flexibility on creating custom dashboards.""More private MIB object support, such as WAN optimisation performance and wireless, would be helpful.""It would be nice if they had twenty-four-hour technical support because we contact Australia and we have to wait for them to open.""Technical support for this solution is bad, as is everything with Cisco support.""Configuration management: In configuration management it would be helpful if it would backup configuration files (running and start-up configuration) for devices. (Not sure if this is already available in the latest version).""I would like the ability to update the dashboard. I would also like the ability to access via an API. Then I could produce a dashboard that my C level can understand. This is just so they can go and refresh whenever they want to and see what things look like."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The solution is highly-priced."
  • "The solution's price is reasonable."
  • More Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Pricing is reasonable but licensing should unlimited."
  • "One thing that needs improvement is how it's licensed. I understand historically the company licensed it off a same charge for everyone. I understand the company needs to make money, but how they introduced the tiered licensing model, and then multiple layers of licensing was a bit of an issue. So, on the whole, coming up with a licensing model that isn't confusing and complicated and is easy to understand would be one way to improve the product. They have told me lately that they're changing how they license stuff, but they haven't made that - as I understand it - in their marketing material public knowledge as of yet. I would say that at the moment it's a bit convoluted. It's confusing. Some of their basic licensing model is a bit of a ripoff. If you go over five or ten support calls in the basic licensing model they start charging you for support calls. I think that's a bit rich."
  • "Up until we actually talked to Statseeker, and Statseeker came and gave us an enterprise licensing model for multiple accounts, I would have said the pricing was not good value. The fact they've come to the party now and given us a very good discount, I would say it's probably about right, the pricing they're giving us now. But the retail pricing, if I went out and, as a separate company, and asked for pricing for one account, I probably would say their retail pricing is not competitive. The fact that they've given us a discount now because we have multiple servers across multiple accounts, I would say that pricing is about right, but not their retail pricing. It's too expensive."
  • "We now feel the pricing is a good value. Previously we had a just a normal license but now we've got an Enterprise license. Since the Enterprise, it's been a lot better value. We did think it was pretty expensive before, but with the Enterprise license it's almost less than half that price. If you have a number of accounts within the organization that use Statseeker, I would suggest get the Enterprise license."
  • "We paid $5,000 to $10,000 a year in maintenance."
  • "We have permanent licenses so there's really no cost, other than ongoing maintenance. When I think about it, that's running us about $20,000 a year."
  • "It would definitely be a yearly licensing cost, but I don't know what it is."
  • "It's probably $5K a year for the license."
