Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It offers straightforward integration.""The most valuable feature is NetFlow.""It has high stability.""The solution is straightforward to set up.""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 for improving network visibility with Gigamon is the packet filtering capability.""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 solution is very easy to use.""The most valuable features are integration and ease of use.""From our perspective, ThousandEyes stands out as an invaluable tool because of its deep and extensive capabilities.""The solution's initial setup process was straightforward...In terms of ROI, the solution is worth the money.""The most valuable aspect of the solution was the ability to see how the connection quality is between the sites and get an alert if it was turning bad.""The most valuable feature of ThousandEyes is user-friendliness. It has been essential for us to have a solution that is easy to use.""ThousandEyes gives companies better visibility.""The authentication overall - including to the VPN and LAN - is excellent."

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

"ThousandEyes could improve the dashboards by adding more features.""The tool does not provide features for application-level monitoring.""I would like the product to offer more agility.""They only offer synthetic requests.""Presently, it lacks the ability to integrate with other Cisco products.""Once I fully use the tool 100%, I'm sure I would have something to critique, however, for now, I'm happy with it.""It might be practical to extend monitoring capabilities to include network devices""It's an expensive solution."

    Overview

    Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline is a comprehensive network visibility solution that provides real-time insights into network traffic. It offers SSL inspection and mobile network monitoring for traffic monitoring purposes. The solution optimizes networks, aids in security inspection, and improves firewall performance. It is praised for its performance, power, straightforward integration, stability, and ease of initial setup. 

    With Gigamon, organizations can gain complete visibility into their network traffic, identify potential threats, and take proactive measures to prevent them. The solution is ideal for organizations of all sizes, including enterprises, service providers, and government agencies.

    ThousandEyes is a Network Intelligence platform that delivers visibility into every network an organization relies on, whether public or private. ThousandEyes enables users to optimize application delivery, end-user experience and ongoing infrastructure investments.

    With cloud, enterprises can innovate much faster, but the growing number of cloud and SaaS applications means that more apps are being delivered over the Internet. This increases dependence on the Internet, a public “best effort” network, and other third-party infrastructures, substantially reducing the ability of IT teams to predict, visualize and control operational behavior. This results in a chaotic and unmanageable IT environment, making issue resolution a time-consuming ordeal, potentially impacting reputation and revenue. ThousandEyes has innovated an approach based on an unmatched distribution of smart agents across the Internet and enterprise, providing visibility all the way to the end user. ThousandEyes gathers and analyzes massive volumes of Network Intelligence data from all of these vantage points, enabling organizations to solve even their most obscure performance problems in minutes. By using ThousandEyes in the planning and testing phases of cloud adoption, customers can also strategically identify and fix underlying problems before production deployment of business-critical applications.

    The ThousandEyes solution is ubiquitous across industry sectors, and since launching in mid-2013, customers have come from a diverse set of industry sectors, which include Silicon Valley technology companies, financial services, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, retail, manufacturing and education.
