"vSTREAM gives us better visibility and reporting about our network infrastructure, allowing for cost-optimization."
"One of the valuable features is the packet decoding."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to look at the traffic flows, to look at NetFlow data."
"The graphical interface of this environment is so good with all the views, the graphics, and everything in them. It's really easy for me. It doesn't need an engineer to work on it. It's easy enough that anyone can get into the environment and look for issues or look at how communication is going on across the VMs. It's pretty much straightforward."
"The solution has helped improve our organization by directing the network traffic using SDN."
"It gives the visibility that was either broken or there in pieces only. This solution provides a unified view of the whole system, back and forth. It has helped to reduce time to value, increase performance, more easily manage networks, and provide deep visibility."
"I find it user-friendly and intuitive. With the GUI interface that we do use on a regular basis, it's easy to navigate, it's easy to see, easy to query. We get reports. It's easy to use."
"It has enabled us to set up and do application discovery, as far as network traffic is concerned, and set up the appropriate rules that we need to make sure we're compliant with our security frameworks."
"compare-to-competition; I would recommend the product. I don't think there is any other product like this on the market right now."
"The ability to use the natural language query and see the visualization is quickly intuitive, and it works very well."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I would like for it to have a smaller footprint of the virtual appliance and better performance."
"Room for improvement exists in filtering in the packet decode."
"I would like to see improvements made to the user guide."
"The product is slightly complex use, while still being user-friendly. It could use more training modules, as it is not a straightforward product."
"I would like to see more interoperability on the firewall and low balancer sides."
"In a very general way, I would like to see an improvement in interoperability with third-party product, from other vendors."
"vRNI needs more remediation where it hooks into NSX."
"I want to be able to monitor a network flow that is approximately two weeks back, but I haven't found an easy way to do this."
"Support could be much better."
"The solution can be improved by making it more compatible with other brands, allowing for better integration."
"The only real improvement they can make is to add more third-party vendors into the environment, mostly switch manufacturers, because it's really limited to Cisco equipment and there are a lot of companies out there other than Cisco."
