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

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Pros →

"SevOne has rich API capabilities, giving us the flexibility to control what we collect and customize the collection, creation, and manipulation of now metrics as necessary.""We find that the reporting is particularly valuable in terms of not only communicating with our peer teams but also with the executives.""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.""It also gives us the closest thing to real-time insight into network performance that we have, with just a 10-second delay. It's very important for us to know the health of the infrastructure very quickly.""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.""The monitoring of the network is very customizable. That is its unique feature.""In 90% of the cases, new devices are plug-and-play, so when a new version comes out then SevOne has support for it out of the box.""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."

"It helps us to assist our customers to isolate problems. If it is us who is having the problem, then we can use it to streamline the process.""The most valuable feature is utilization.""It's an easy product to set up.""When we have mobile operators who are signal partners, where one is the roaming host and another is the roamer, we are able to see their traffic. Their packets are able to detect if any faults to develop, and at what point they fail.""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.""I love the single pane of glass view. It makes it easier to not have to navigate everywhere. It allows more simplistic visibility, without having to go from tool to tool to tool, or from window to window to window.""It is very rock solid. We hardly have any hardware issues."

Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"You need to plan integrations. That has been the biggest bug with SevOne so far. For the things that SevOne pulls directly, those are easy to understand, modify, and put into the database. For things that need to use the Universal Collector or xStats, you need to plan that stuff well in advance.""Would benefit with the addition of AI modules for proactive data insights.""Some similar solutions offer end-to-end visibility.""One area that requires a little bit of improvement is the topology of visualization and being able to map out connections, end-to-end. It's able to do that, but it's not as impressive as we would like it to be. We would like to understand the different interface types and the connection points better, through the visualization. Heatmaps also need further development.""The user management features need to be improved. It would be nice if we had more granular control, or layers of control, out of the box.""The one area with room for improvement is probably administration. They added data insights to make a better user experience, but I'd like to see some improvements in the way the system's administered.""Telemetry is hot these days, and IBM can improve SevOne's support for telemetry correction. Reporting is another feature that could be better. It provides the bare minimum functionality, which is good enough for most engineers, but the management isn't advanced. The new portal provides a much lighter view and better visualization, but the management is not so good.""The tool needs improvement in non-Cisco SD-WAN."

More IBM SevOne Network Performance Management (NPM) Cons →

"I would like to see an improved level of stitching between IPs.""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.""Being able to manage the packet flow switches in nGeniusONE would be great.""The scalability has some limitations and quirks to it. I would like to be able to upgrade rather than replace the whole thing.""I'd like them to make the product more user-friendly.""We don't use the single pane of glass view, even though we own it.""It's not able to communicate with our probes.""The NetFlow Collectors could handle more flows per minute."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "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. SevOne provides device-level pricing. That gives us the flexibility to turn on, and expand on, the metrics that we're collecting around those devices, without taking a financial hit."
  • "The pricing has not evolved with the market, which is one of the reasons we are moving to a new product."
  • More IBM SevOne Network Performance Management (NPM) 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."
