Offers a great reporting experience, with much customization and flexibility in extracting reports but it can be more user-friendly

My experience indicates that it needs enhancements in the UI. We are in 2024, and the GUI doesn't meet current expectations for user interfaces or Excel integration. Mainly, CA Service Desk has such a bad user interface. All features and systems, like servers, should have a modern graphical user interface, but CA Service Desk remains classic and still uses a desktop-based interface. It doesn't add features easily; if you need additional functionality, you have to go through many steps. Competitors like ServiceNow, Micro Focus SMAX, and ManageEngine all have better user interfaces. This is the main solution that needs improvement. I am very satisfied with the modeling systems, the grid, and the existing features, except for the graphical user interface.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"All solutions from Broadcom are very easy to install."

"The technical support and documentation are quite good."

"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."

"The most valuable feature for improving network visibility with Gigamon is the packet filtering capability."

"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."

"It has high stability."

"The solution is straightforward to set up."

Cons

"The UI could be better. When I look at the dashboard, for example, the information looks cluttered and unorganized."

"They lack support and presence in Egypt."

"The graphical user interface could be improved."

"Its filtering feature needs improvement."

"It only inspects a specific kind of traffic. There should be different kinds of use cases."

"They should increase the solution's cluster capacity."

"In terms of improvement, while the initial setup is not overly complicated, we did encounter a few issues."

"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 security should be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the pricing a three out of ten, with ten being expensive. So, it is rather cheap."

"I would rate the solution as expensive, around an eight or nine out of ten. There are other competitive solutions available."

"The solution is highly-priced."

"The solution's price is reasonable."
