Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, ServiceNow, Microsoft and others in Event Monitoring."The solution is straightforward to set up."
"It offers straightforward integration."
"The most valuable feature for improving network visibility with Gigamon is the packet filtering capability."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the encryption feature. From a security perspective, the solution hasn't significantly strengthened our security posture. However, it has greatly improved performance by streamlining encryption processes and avoiding encryption at multiple layers. This has also simplified troubleshooting, as we can whitelist certain processes."
"The most valuable feature is NetFlow."
"It is a good product. It provides network visibility, which is important. Gigamon can bring some optimizations to my network. It is helpful for security inspection, and it makes my firewall work fast because my firewall doesn't have to do the inspection of the SSL connections, for example."
"It has high stability."
"A product that is well-tested and trusted in demanding situations."
"You can monitor performance counters effortlessly."
"Provides a good level of tools and covers essential components."
"The product covers our needs for the basic care and feeding of servers, whether they are physical or virtual."
"With just three modules, I can monitor server performance (whether it’s a VM, in the cloud, or an on-premises server."
"The interface is user-friendly, making it easy to use."
"We found that it was easy to operate, and it was simple if anyone has entry-level working experience or even if someone is not experienced."
"The ability to customize the views and dashboards is nice. SolarWinds also allows us to access the data via the API. That's probably the feature I liked the most."
"It only inspects a specific kind of traffic. There should be different kinds of use cases."
"The Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline should have a feature showing the traffic flow within its platform. Currently, customers have to use separate tools for monitoring, which is inconvenient. If it had its visibility feature, it would make monitoring easier and more complete without needing extra tools."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
"Its filtering feature needs improvement."
"In terms of improvement, while the initial setup is not overly complicated, we did encounter a few issues."
"The security should be improved."
"They should increase the solution's cluster capacity."
"The solution's network discovery and node addition processes need more work."
"This solution would benefit from expanding on the capabilities within the API."
"The reporting is good, but I want it to be a little easier when creating custom reports. The reports are all on the website now, but it takes some know how to get some to display the way you would like."
"The solution could improve in many areas, such as the marketing and description of the products, providing areas of improvement, cloud capabilities, and being able to be more streamlined with the current integration points with other applications."
"One of the challenges with SolarWinds is that in order to pull the data, we have to have a lot of false positives."
"The console could be more user-friendly. It would be better if SolarWinds updated the user interface."
"The only thing that can be improved is to continually add to the existing capabilities of the product."
"Fortigate firewalls are one example of a product that we are unable to monitor properly via SolarWinds NPM."
