I'm not sure which version I'm using. 

It all comes down to understanding your reference architecture. A lot of people don't have the knowledge. That's why they pull in these tools.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. 

My advice for anybody considering this type of solution is to certainly check ExtraHop against other competitors. It's different from the other security tools. It gives you more network performance and network information, rather than just security information, which is why we chose it. We seem to get two elements for one, whereas the other tools tended not to give you the network information, some of which are very relevant to security practices.

In some ways, it can be a bit richer than other products, but it can also provide slightly less than some of the other tools. It depends on which area you're wanting to focus on.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

ExtraHop is far ahead of anything comparable in the industry. As a matter of fact, there isn’t anything that really compares. It is a wire-data driven operational analytics platform that provides network flow and application transaction performance monitoring out of the box. That description really doesn’t do it justice, though.

The ExtraHop website has a demo environment that will walk someone through numerous scenarios. It is well put together, but can be a bit overwhelming without some context or experience. I recommend having a look, but then scheduling a demo with ExtraHop, or with a VAR like the one for which I work. All that being said, these are demo environments and what it the platform can do seems a bit unbelievable at times. As a customer, I know I wouldn’t have believed it without seeing it. The real proof is in the POC. If you can set up SPAN sessions on the core data center switches, ExtraHop would be delighted to send you an appliance and help to get it deployed so you can see for yourself. Don’t take my word for it in any case. Do a POC.

We are a reseller. The solution can be used both on the cloud and on-premises. 

I'd recommend the solution in general.

I'd rate it eight out of ten.

This is a must-try product. Try it to see the benefits and features. It has many features that other solutions don't have.

Our most important criteria when selecting vendor are the product itself - the stability, the scalability - as well as the support. We need to have good support that is easy to reach.

I would rate ExtraHop at nine out of ten. It's a good product, easy to deploy and easy to expand.

Do it now and you’ll be glad you did.
