Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is NetFlow."
"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 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."
"The most valuable feature for improving network visibility with Gigamon is the packet filtering capability."
"It offers straightforward integration."
"The solution is straightforward to set up."
"It's a complete solution package."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
 

Cons

"They should increase the solution's cluster capacity."
"The security should be improved."
"In terms of improvement, while the initial setup is not overly complicated, we did encounter a few issues."
"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."
"Its filtering feature needs improvement."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
"The pricing could be improved."
"We found limitations in the XDR's detections, lacking the ability to create customized detection and log parsing rules."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the solution as expensive, around an eight or nine out of ten. There are other competitive solutions available."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"The pricing is six out of ten."
