Pros
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature.""We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Pros →

"The intention and the idea of the filter is great.""The product has a very good graphical interface.""All in all, LiveAction LiveNX has become an indispensable tool for maintaining and improving our network's reliability and performance, ultimately supporting our organization's goal of providing timely and dependable delivery services.""One of the valuable features is the ability to create CLI scripts on the fly to fix any issues. We were using it for QoS modeling to ensure that we were properly modeling QoS, and it basically said here is what you need to fix to get this QoS done, whether it is ACL or something else. It would either push or recommend. If you have the right credentials, you could also push. It is very good if you are a Cisco shop. It gives you reporting, latency, and bandwidth utilization for your applications, so you can do good capacity management planning. There are a lot of pieces that LiveNX can give you. It is a total NPM solution for SD-WAN.""Its analytical capability is really good.""The alerting feature is very good because it allows you to set MOS alerts at various network junctures or data points.""We don't have any complaints about the software. According to my team, it's a very good tool that's very intuitive."

More LiveAction LiveNX Pros →

"The most valuable features for us at this early stage are the interface and the integration with existing VMware solutions.""We like that everything is integrated.""It is easy to implement it.""One significant advantage of VMware NSX is the ability to provide advanced security at the micro-level, focusing on securing applications and workloads rather than just the network structure or virtualization-based network security.""Overall, I would say the solution has been quite stable.""Firewall security is one of VMware NSX's vital features""The most valuable features are security and dynamic routing.""The ability to scale from different clouds. At the moment, the scalability of the product is the number one thing that I saw."

More VMware NSX Pros →

Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement.""The technical support needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"The tool crashes sometimes when we try to pull reports simultaneously.""This is a horrible solution and I think everything needs to be improved.""It is not as robust as other NPM solutions. For instance, there is a problem while labeling specific applications. It works well with well-known applications, but when you have to put in new applications that are not very known and set them up with names, ports, URLs, or some protocols, it is not as intuitive.""Improved documentation and more responsive customer support can help in addressing issues faster.""Sometimes the solution does not register devices properly and that is a bug.""They need to create a more simplified UI.""The only downside to this software is the price."

More LiveAction LiveNX Cons →

"It was stable for one year, there was no impact. In the last two months, we had two big incidents.""The feature it can improve is essentially application-based load balancing with intelligent load distribution for applications that require redundancy and high availability.""In the next release, they should enhance the visual interface. With NSX-T, it's difficult to communicate between the public cloud and the container.""The scalability is not perfect.""The solution is quite complex. You need to keep your thinking cap on and know what you are doing: Go to the training and listen to the solution architects when they come in because they have a lot of knowledge.""Our technical team is always looking for the solutions that they work with to offer more convenient integrations.""They need to enhance their technical support.""VMware NSX can improve the migration tools from the older environments to the new environment. For example, the NSX-V has become a legacy solution, it's out of support, but customers are able to keep using it. For migration purposes, it's better for them to provide a proper tool. It will be easy to migrate from an old environment to a new one."
