OptiView XG [EOL] Pricing

MW
President at Bitwise Micro

Its price was a bit excessive. The device that I had died. It is under warranty, and they want $20,000 for another one. I just don't want to spend that kind of money, so I'm trying to find an alternate solution.

They have annual maintenance on it, which probably was 10% a year, so it all starts to add up.

The licensing was confusing in the beginning, but once I figured out what was going on, it makes sense now. The software upgrade process on it is easy.

I think that the maintenance is ridiculous on some of the products, including OptiView.

Previously, pricing and licensing was easy. We'll see what happens with the change with Netscout.

Their pricing is expensive. They are the Mercedes. Most people have a problem with that understandably, because if you are only going to use it once, it is hard to justify it. Luckily, a company like us that deals with thousands of clients, it allows it to be effective.

Pricing would be your only problem, because it is expensive. It could be cheaper, in my opinion.

They really do stay up with technology. If you keep up with your maintenance, you can easily upgrade your software, and the hardware, trade it back in. It is almost like a lease on a vehicle. You can trade it back in and get a newer one for big discounts, and stay up with the technology that OptiView offers.

It is a complete package. It is not just a really good testing device, but also the maintenance that goes along with it. There is support when I have questions. Then the continued advancement of the product itself. It is well worth the price quite frankly, if you are in that arena.

It was easy, as I mentioned earlier, we only need to understand the problem of the customer and we then define an action plan, in other words where to put the OptiView XG, what devices we need to pay attention to. View full review »

With the licensing and putting up the software, I pretty much didn't really have to do much other than activate the license.

I have no advice as licensing and purchase were not an issue for us.
