Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature as of late has been the API integration with ServiceNow.""Scalability. I have never had to worry about how to handle really big environments.""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 a great solution for highlighting and discovering useful information regarding our network's elements.""SevOne’s data collection functionality is very good. From a collection point of view, we pull SNMP data, which is simple. It is easy to manipulate the pull in the estate. It is really simple compared to some of the other products that we have used. However, for deferred data, i.e., things that we import or don't pull directly, we tend to have a preplanned integration. So, its Universal Collector is really useful.""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.""Flexible architecture: You can extend the system and its capacity by attaching another cluster pair.""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."

"The product is granular and can build complex roles compared to other EDR vendors.""Tanium's most valuable feature is its instant discovery aspect.""I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management.""I like the tool's incident response and security patching.""The solution is scalable and helps to understand how infrastructure works. It helps to improve the health of the organization.""I like the fact that you can create patching campaigns depending on the area of your network that you want to address first. I like the ability it has to make several campaigns that work in parallel.""Threat hunting is a very good feature on Tanium. We have just started using it and have not used it extensively.""For incident response tasks, all these tasks can get done in minutes with minimal disruption to the end-user."

Cons
"We need to be thinking about streaming telemetry protocols. They already have the port for enhanced visualization, which they already have through Data Insight.""The reports are easy to configure but they are a bit outdated in terms of appearance and visualization.""Some similar solutions offer end-to-end visibility.""Would benefit with the addition of AI modules for proactive data insights.""The tool needs improvement in non-Cisco SD-WAN.""The reporting of NMS is good, but it could be better.""I would like to see live maps as an added feature. Also, build modules on AI and EML to provide better data insights that would proactively tell us what we should be looking after.""SevOne should work with the graphs legend functionality."

More IBM SevOne Network Performance Management (NPM) Cons →

"The solution needs to improve the reporting and tracking capabilities.""Tanium's limitations should be improved because although it is a great tool, it is limited to only a few classes during a session.""Any movement into a SaaS solution has challenges since the processes and data flows are not well defined. Hence, you need to build it at the same time.""I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments.""The most painful thing is the interface. It's a bit unclear sometimes.""It is not really additional functions, or the features that are needed, rather the complexity would be reduced based on the number of modules required to put together a comprehensive operational security and risk compliance model.""They could improve the UI.""The reporting could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

  • "Prices per license are not huge, but they exist."
