NETSCOUT InfiniStreamNG Reviews

I'm using it for a customer.

The packet flow switch is the most valuable aspect of the solution. 

It's an easy product to set up.

We can scale the solution if we need to.

It's stable. 

The documentation is well-written and quite useful.

It's compatible with other products. 

We do pre-analysis using the OptiView of the networks. We also do what is called packet analysis, quick reaction. We go through the site using OptiView, doing data analysis, bring it back and use that. 

We also do the pen screens on migrated sites through Joint Regional Security Stack (JRSS), so when we do the pen screen installs, the ball feeds back to the regional cyber center and into the nGeniusOne. Then, we look at the nGeniusONE to do KPIs, data analysis, and see where the problems are with the network and give reports on it. We try to be proactive regarding the networks using this tool.

Proactive analysis is what we do. Quick reaction is my team's title. We use the tools for proactive analysis of network sites to see where the problems are and what layer the problems at.

It gives us feature view analysis of the network and pre-deployment. It provides the local site better insight by showing them what is going on with their network.

Once we get it online, we have greater visibility on the network and can see where the problems are at.

There are common tools that a lot of our sites use, and when we see the data coming in, we try to pick one (Citrix or SCCM). We can see where they are having problems using the tool, then start building a list of what the dependencies are, and if there is any commonality between this site and that site in the network problems.

We had a site trying to get from point A to point B. They were going through multilayer jumps on the network. We found out it that they didn't have their proxy servers balanced, so everything was going through one proxy server. We used OptiView to find that out.

This solution provides us with increased visibility when conducting IT deployments, e.g., all of our WAN upgrades.

We are using it to increase our bandwidth, so we can improve customer service.

Currently, we use it for our LTE roaming solution. We monitor the traffic between partner LTE providers and the business analytics.

When we have mobile operators who are signal partners, where one is the roaming host and another is the roamer, we are able to see their traffic. Their packets are able to detect if any faults to develop, and at what point they fail.

For our roaming clients and LTE providers, we are able to see their traffic, see the trends, and are able to isolate their faults and failures.

It helps us to get to root cause quickly.

We use the solution for unified communication application performance and SIP monitoring. It helps us with uptime and end user performance. We are able to view the dashboards in near real-time. We can follow a trend, whether its traffic is increasing or decreasing, and isolate a time of fault.

Being able to use the Universal Monitor along with data mining has really helped us.

We analyze all the data which comes in and out of the bank with InfiniStreams.

We can effectively troubleshoot any situation which goes on, due to the visibility provided by the InfiniStreams. Our team does a lot of the packet analysis, which is really key for us. We are able to solve whatever the problem might be for customers.

This solution provides us with increased visibility while conducting IT deployments.

Most of the time, it helps us get to root cause quickly.

We use the solution for unified communication application performance in our CSAN environment. It helps us with uptime and user experience. From the visibility standpoint, whatever device that we're monitoring, it gives us all the info that we need from uptime to issues on the whole analytical piece of the product. 

The primary use case is for packet collection and analysis.

From a troubleshooting perspective, it allows us to quickly search all data TAP points in the network.

It helps our network engineers get to root cause quickly.

To isolate whether we are getting the data from customers.

It helps us to assist our customers to isolate problems. If it is us who is having the problem, then we can use it to streamline the process.

It helps us to get to root cause more quickly. It is easier than setting different traps or captures on firewalls.

We use it for troubleshooting application performance issues and monitoring applications.

A lot of the application owners don't know how their applications work, start to end. You can map application flow and tell application developers exactly where the problem is, then have them develop better code or scale it.

This solution provides us with increased visibility while conducting IT deployments. If we are trying to monitor an application to see its sources (the destination IP addresses), we can get all this from the tool. We can track the packet latency and see in-between different sites.

This solution helps us get to root cause quickly. nGeniusPULSE will alert us, letting us where the problem exists. Then, we can go in and fix that particular problem, instead of sniffing through thousands of packets to see if we can find something.
