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

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Pros →

"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 ability to troubleshoot customers' connectivity has been very beneficial.""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.""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 most valuable features are speed and cost.""The real-time troubleshooting and application segregation that you can do within it.""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."

More NETSCOUT InfiniStreamNG Pros →

"The most valuable feature of Versa Director is analytics.""Versa Director is the fastest engineering tool and is ideal for use without product management.""Versa Director's best feature is the ease of configuration and customer and vendor management.""The most valuable functionality is some of the policy pieces that are quite useful."

Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"I would like to see an improved level of stitching between IPs.""Being able to manage the packet flow switches in nGeniusONE would be great.""The technology goes end-of-life on us every year, which is why I am looking forward to vSTREAM. I don't like when devices go end-of-life on us so quickly. If we can get more of an advanced notice of when an end-of-life is brought up, because our certification process within the organization takes a while.""There is a timeout feature that we have been asking for awhile.""I'd like them to make the product more user-friendly.""The scalability has some limitations and quirks to it. I would like to be able to upgrade rather than replace the whole thing.""The single pane of glass feed still needs work.""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."

More NETSCOUT InfiniStreamNG Cons →

"It requires some simplification.""Versa Director's deployment process is not the best.""What needs improvement in Versa Director is maturity because, from an operating point of view, it's not mature enough. You'll still need to do a lot of research on Versa Director, so if it could mature faster, that would be very good.""Versa could be more AI-oriented."

  • "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 →

  • "Having to buy separate licenses for the on-prem SD-WAN hardware and SSL VPN software makes Versa Director very costly compared to other solutions like Fortinet and Cisco."
