Before choosing this product, I did not evaluate other options. I don't normally get into that. On the other hand, we do use other products for sure.

We were using Fluke Etherscopes, so we just kind of evaluated what they offered with that product. We didn't bring in any other vendors.

Network Analyst at a transportation company with 10,001+ employees

I did not evaluate other options. I went with this solution because I read the reviews on it and they were good. We had shortage of time to purchase the product, so either you purchase now or never. I ended up purchasing it.

Network Engineer at a media company with 1,001-5,000 employees

I played around with some free stuff, but nothing that would be comparable to this particular product.

It was a management decision to go with this product. That's what they gave me to use. I'm just an end user.

Contractor at a consultancy with 1,001-5,000 employees

I have used other products. There were no products that did what the OptiView did as well as OptiView.

They have no competitors because nobody has done it like them, so they basically own it. That is why you have to buy the device, because there is no other.

Director of Enterprise Systems with 501-1,000 employees

Before choosing this product, we looked at some others; they didn't have a lot of the things that this product had, so that's why we selected this one. We had previous history with Fluke and we had good dealings with them, so that's why we chose this product.

Well, Wireshark for example, but the problem was that we needed to understand a lot of the customer's topology and to mitigate and analyse the errors which was a waste of time. View full review »
