Pros
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Pros →

"It helps us get to root cause quickly. With utilization and consumption of bandwidth, we can usually see what application is taking as much as they should (or shouldn't), then account for it accordingly.""The tool has the ability to look back within a month's data. It is very easy to navigate within the tool and troubleshoot the problem, compared to other solutions that we've used in the past.""The most valuable features are speed and cost.""The technical support is really good. They will go above and beyond, if you are running into a problem. You can go to a sales engineer, who will engage technical support to help you out.""The product is stable. I have never had any issue where we have lost an InfiniStream, or visibility from that particular InfiniStream, throughout the bank.""The real-time troubleshooting and application segregation that you can do within it.""It has cut our troubleshooting down by days. Once we have a product in place, we show people examples of how it can streamline their troubleshooting process.""It allows us to get quicker resolutions. We can see exactly what is using up the bandwidth, so we can assist end users."

More NETSCOUT InfiniStreamNG Pros →

"I like the single pane of glass view because it presents everything in one window, obviously. You can see it all. With a quick glance, you get a pretty good snapshot of what's going on in a particular situation.""I like the single pane of glass view. I like being able to go to one place instead of having to hunt around for everything.""The most valuable feature of NETSCOUT nGeniusPULSE is the network troubleshooting analysis. You can pinpoint an issue before it could shut down the network.""The most valuable features of this solution are monitoring and maintaining traffic queuing, as well as seeing who is using the bandwidth.""This is a very reliable and complete solution for troubleshooting and monitoring environments."

Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"The scalability has some limitations and quirks to it. I would like to be able to upgrade rather than replace the whole thing.""Being able to manage the packet flow switches in nGeniusONE would be great.""We don't use the single pane of glass view, even though we own it.""There is a timeout feature that we have been asking for awhile.""The single pane of glass feed still needs work.""The NetFlow Collectors could handle more flows per minute.""The stability depends on who is using the tool, because you only can get as much out of the tool as you put into it. There are a lot of patches for this particular environment, so you have to keep on them. If you lose track of them, then the product is not useful anymore.""I would like to see an improved level of stitching between IPs."

More NETSCOUT InfiniStreamNG Cons →

"Usability is the area with the biggest room for improvement. We've found that with NETSCOUT, while it's a fantastic product, the usability is a major factor because there are just way too many clicks. It's obvious, from our experience, that the people who are developing the product aren't using it.""They require a lot of manual effort as traffic flows, networks, and formal times change.""The price of the solution could be reduced.""In terms of additional features, I would like to see better event notification. Right now, we put in an email address to receive an alert and it receives every event and every alert that comes out. We need something a little more granular.""The GUI interface and dashboards could be more attractive to the customer."

Pricing and Cost Advice

  • "To capture more with the solution that we bought, you have to buy another InfiniStreamNG, and there are only four ports in the back."
  • "The scalability is good, but it comes at a cost. E.g., if you need 100 InfiniStream because you are sending gigs or terabytes of data to one InfiniStream, then you will have to purchase another InfiniStream, which are not cheap."
  • "It can be scalable. It just costs too much. With a company as big as ours, it gets too expensive to accommodate every single site."
  • "This product could be cheaper."
  • "The price is a little high."
  • "I would like it to be more scalable with less spend."
  • More NETSCOUT InfiniStreamNG Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Cost is contracted on a yearly basis. There is no additional cost beyond the standard licensing."
  • "The price of NETSCOUT nGeniusPULSE is high. The other solutions are less expensive but we cannot depend on the other solutions, they are not as stable."
