Pros

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Pros →

"We find that the reporting is particularly valuable in terms of not only communicating with our peer teams but also with the executives.""Another useful feature is that SevOne gives you real-time insights into your network performance. It polls every five minutes. That is important for our customers because there are some network teams that are always monitoring their networks.""Data Insight reporting tool is the most valuable feature. They came up with it a couple of years ago. The most pleasing factor is the dark theme. You don't have a white background. It has templates that you can create for all kinds of reports that you can hit on the fly. It's much better printing of the reports. If you want to send PDFs to people, the reports are actually decent. Whereas for years, the old architecture of the PDFs was rubbish and even our customers said, "We have to manipulate your PDFs because they all have bad margin breaks. SevOne fixed that a couple of years ago with the new Data Insight. It's fantastic.""SevOne provides support for all universal connectors. They internally work with other data sources to get features implemented. We have an SD-WAN implementation and use other app data to monitor performance. If you pull that data into one centralized location, that is very useful for management.""The modules and the performance management reports that come with data insights are two of the most valuable features. I also find the reports for Wi-Fi, Netflow, LAN, and WAN for monitoring to be very good.""It's given us the ability to create various real-time network performance reports and distribute them to any colleague who can access these reports immediately.""The automation feature is good because if your CMDB is OK and it is already in sync, then the automation part is good to go.""We have benefited mainly from the use of the dashboard interface. It makes the network visually interesting for other people who are not in the network. A lot of people are not network techies who understand streams in the network. Based on location, we have streams coming in and out. They can see visually when there is some problem. They don't need to understand all the network technology behind it to be able to understand if everything is working well or if there is a problem."

"NetMon's best feature is traffic analysis.""It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution.""Visibility is a valuable feature, the ability to see even if the traffic is not going into the firewall""The protocols with which you see the traffic for a particular website that a client has in their environment, for example, are valuable. We can monitor whether the traffic is up to the mark or whether they need to add more bandwidth. Also, we can see if we're able to get real-time environment data as well. The customization dashboard is really good. LogRhythm NetMon has its own in-built dashboards which are helpful in guiding customization.""The analytics feature is the most valuable feature.""It has a very strong artificial intelligence engine.""The most valuable feature is the log, which can be analyzed by our SIEM solution."

Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"There are a lot of pain points. My main problem is that we don't have a high availability system. There are 20 peers. We're going to lose the end-of-life appliances that are old. If we lose a peer and it doesn't come back, we lose all that data. The reason we don't have high availability is because it's double the charge.""I'm not really sure if this was the software's fault or a server issue, but a couple of years back the disks were failing on our SevOne physical server every month and the server would go down. The secondary server took over from the primary until the disk issue was resolved. That was annoying.""Would benefit with the addition of AI modules for proactive data insights.""User-friendly, multi-tenancy.""When I started using it, I tried adding one of the BroadWorks application servers into SevOne... it created thousands and thousands of objects from that one application server and we immediately ran out of license... It would help, when new objects are discovered, if there were a way to categorize those objects and to pick the part of the object you need...""The reports are easy to configure but they are a bit outdated in terms of appearance and visualization.""The GUI: both the dashboard/user view and the admin tool.""There are some tweaks and enhancements that I've already requested. One is to be able to make changes per device rather than as a global setting. That has to do with naming. It's minor."

More IBM SevOne Network Performance Management (NPM) Cons →

"Some of the automated tasks we can perform on QRadar cannot be performed on LogRhythm because the solution has limitations.""There is an issue with tunneling in relation to how the connectivity is established between the end devices and where NetMon is installed. On the console, I often observe that there's a difference of a few seconds or maybe a minute, and this lag time should not be there.""Sometimes it's hard to find the network devices' self-audit logs.""Could use a topology diagram which would help get an exact visual.""The training for this product is not very good and needs to be improved.""I would like to see better integration with multiple products. Integration is not something that is readily available for most of the products.""LogRhythm NetMon's pricing model is an area of concern that should be made a little bit cheaper in comparison to the other players in the market currently."

Pricing and Cost Advice

  • "Have a bank of licenses, because it is about the number of objects (RAM, ports, CPU, etc.)."
  • "Choose a SevOne partner who can provide SevOne as a service and can deliver professional services and maintenance."
  • "It is inexpensive compared to other monitoring tools."
  • "Prices per license are not huge, but they exist."
  • "There are cheaper solutions available."
  • "The pricing has been fair."
  • "Many tools price things based on the number of KPIs that you're collecting around a device. In many cases, there could be hundreds of metrics that you need to collect.

  • "The pricing has not evolved with the market, which is one of the reasons we are moving to a new product."

  • "Pricing is okay. There were some competitors that were extremely expensive and there were some which were really inexpensive but LogRhythm stayed in the middle of them."
  • "The price of this solution is too high, so it should be made more practical and more valuable for the customer."
  • "NetMon's licensing costs about $85k per year, with some extra costs for support."
  • "LogRhythm's licensing part is something that depends on the license you want since they offer it on a perpetual and subscription basis."
