A valuable tool for optimizing network performance and security with comprehensive network monitoring capabilities, user-friendly interface, and flexibility for scripting
Distinguishing itself from network management systems like SolarWinds Orion and Dataminer, Hawkeye offers a distinctive feature. It empowers network administrators to access specialized and detailed views for specific tests, including video streaming and performance related to specific applications like video games. In contrast, SolarWinds and Dataminer typically offer a more general evaluation of network health. Hawkeye's unique capability enables a detailed analysis of network performance through specific tests, allowing administrators to identify areas in need of improvement and take precise actions to enhance network performance.

"It empowers network administrators to access specialized and detailed views for specific tests, including video streaming and performance related to specific applications like video games."
"The most valuable feature is the deployment because it's very easy to deploy real flow through the network."
"It includes a valuable feature called Discovery, that aids in application portfolio management, enabling visibility into IT infrastructure from top to bottom."
"The most valuable features of the solution are discovery, cloud governance, event management, and service mapping."
"ITOM communicates information about incidents and maintains them. It handles tickets change, manages service networks, and reduces IT service downtime for the organization."
"It provided out-of-the-box integrations, requiring only minimal effort, typically a couple of days, to massage those systems into a seamless operation."
"The auto remediation feature has been most valuable. They have also introduced an AOP feature of ServiceNow that we are keen to explore."
"I like the tool's CMBD connection with Discovery. The solution is also flexible."
"The solution is saving time by providing templates, reducing duplication in rule configuration, and offering efficient alert management."
"Has service mapping, impact management, metric intelligence and health of analytics."
 

Cons

"Improvements in network performance are essential."
"You can't delete more than one thing at a time. It would be great to be able to highlight three out of five things and delete them, whether it's a test or an actual report."
"Ixia has one flaw, which is that they do not print the license code on the paper licenses that are shipped to the customers."
"The customization of tests and even the results can be improved."
"The out-of-the-box reporting feature is not as user friendly as other tools."
"Lacks the ability to do its own monitoring."
"Service Mapping is a time-consuming process. The time and effort versus the benefits are very difficult to articulate to customers."
"There are not enough apps in the app store to expand functionality. There should be more made available."
"The solution's licensing model is a bit complicated. It should be simple and easy for people to understand."
"There is room for improvement in service mapping within ServiceNow ITOM."
"It should have better integrations with other solutions."
"The licensing model of the product is a bit rigid, and it can be a bit difficult to downscale if your needs change while also being expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In larger networks, the costs for licenses tend to be more reasonable, but for smaller networks, it appears relatively costly."
"It cost us approximately 25,000 for two years. This is cheaper than ThousandEyes."
"The solution offers yearly licenses and a subscription model for add-on features."
"The solution is costly compared to the products offered by its competitors."
"While not entirely sure, I believe the solution costs at least a million dollars annually."
"It is expensive. It is around 10 Euros per server per month."
"We obtained discovery licenses at about seven dollars Australian per unit, which we found to be reasonable and competitive."
"My customers pay for the ServiceNow IT Operations Management license annually. I'd rate the pricing based on value. ServiceNow IT Operations Management is a premium product as it has better features than competitors."
"It is moderately expensive. The pricing itself and the licensing options are depending on the model and the customization."
"The pricing is high and may be excluding the small to medium-sized enterprise businesses."
