Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, ServiceNow, Microsoft and others in Event Monitoring."The solution is straightforward to set up."
"It has high stability."
"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 offers straightforward integration."
"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 for improving network visibility with Gigamon is the packet filtering capability."
"The most valuable feature is NetFlow."
"The feature I like is that it can easily do a lot of mapping."
"PRTG Network Monitor helps us quickly and easily discover a large number of sensors, so we can spend minimal time monitoring customer sites."
"We like the alerting system, the SNMP monitoring and the customization of the bandwidth."
"I found PRTG Network Monitor very useful for troubleshooting and monitoring the utilization of either the network or server."
"It is a user-friendly solution."
"Its proactiveness is its most valuable feature. We already know when we come in, in the morning, if a server or site is down, as opposed to someone telling us."
"The Slack integration is fantastic, and I've actually found it to be very useful recently."
"This solution provides us with the needed feedback on our IT infrastructure. It allows us to grab all the information from a single point of view."
"In terms of improvement, while the initial setup is not overly complicated, we did encounter a few issues."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
"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."
"It only inspects a specific kind of traffic. There should be different kinds of use cases."
"The security should be improved."
"Its filtering feature needs improvement."
"They should increase the solution's cluster capacity."
"The thing that we do struggle with a bit is in the historic data. If I want look over 30 days, because it averages out onto one graph, you can't zoom in and drill down information."
"The licensing policy needs more flexibility."
"More training videos for installing and configuring this software would have been nice, especially when working with a lot of devices."
"I would like to see them take their graphing tools and convert them into a collector so that we can point telemetry to them"
"The inventory of the device should be improved."
"PRTG would be improved if it required less memory to run."
"I would like a more straightforward ability to create dashboards and maps. The network maps should be a bit more flexibility in the GUI to do what we need to do."
"PRTG Network Monitor can improve by adding prevention and detection features."
