Find out in this report how the two Event Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It has high stability."
"The solution is straightforward to set up."
"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 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."
"This solution helps our application teams by allowing them to drill further into issues and perform a root cause analysis."
"The most valuable feature is the extensibility, as there are really no limits as to what you can do with it."
"The most valuable features for us are the monitoring, the health explorer, and the console."
"Because it's Windows-based, it actually reports quite well. It reports everything you can think of on the Windows server and allows you to monitor anything. It's excellent for those in the Windows world as it's very good at it."
"This solution satisfies all of the requirements that we need for our Windows-based systems, so if you are using the Windows platform then this is an easy solution."
"They have great integration with the active directory."
"The most valuable features in SCOM are Azure monitoring and integration with Azure Monitor for monitoring Azure-hosted servers from SCOM on-premises."
"The ease of deployment, especially on Windows platforms, is valuable."
"They should increase the solution's cluster capacity."
"Its filtering feature needs improvement."
"It only inspects a specific kind of traffic. There should be different kinds of use cases."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
"In terms of improvement, while the initial setup is not overly complicated, we did encounter a few issues."
"The security should 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."
"The end-user components, including the dashboards, the administration console, and the web console, need to be improved."
"Direct integration with third-party tools, like ticketing systems, is lacking but would be beneficial."
"It could use some system enhancements, such as better dashboards."
"I would like to see more standard libraries for the market solutions, out of the box, that you don't need to do a lot of work on."
"The solution can be improved by expanding to cloud usage."
"The solution should be more user-friendly and offer a better user interface."
"Application monitoring must be improved."
"The configurations could be better. There are multiple tests where you can do something, but they can be a trigger as well. The overriding methodologies are not that easy. The configurations are difficult. The configuration and thorough day-to-day operations to get them to the level you want takes some time. It's very difficult."
