The most valuable feature for improving network visibility with Gigamon is the packet filtering capability. This feature allows us to select and focus on the specific network traffic that we need for deep analysis, while also eliminating duplicates.
In terms of improvement, while the initial setup is not overly complicated, we did encounter a few issues.
I have been working with Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline for a year.
Based on my one year of experience, the Gigamon solution has been consistently stable without encountering any problems.
The scalability of the solution is good. I would rate it at an eight out of ten.
In both cases where I needed support, I received prompt and helpful responses. I would rate Gigamon's technical support and customer service as a solid ten out of ten.

The initial setup of Gigamon is normal. While it is not particularly easy, it is also not difficult. There were some encountered errors during setup, but these were resolved with the help of email support. Overall, the process is manageable, especially with prior training and resources available.
The deployment time varied between one week for one instance and four days for another. The steps involved installing the project manager, deploying physical devices at the customer site, and configuring connections. A total of six staff members were involved, including collaboration partners and company personnel. Currently, there are around eight staff members certified for maintaining the Gigamon solution in the company.
Gigamon has significantly enhanced our network traffic analysis capabilities. Before Gigamon, we couldn't observe certain traffic types, but now we can see everything. Implementing Gigamon alongside other solutions like NDR or SIEMs allows us to redirect traffic effectively. It is particularly useful for both virtual and physical environments, making monitoring easier across different setups.
Using Gigamon's threat detection abilities has resulted in notable improvements. We have seen reduced bandwidth utilization for solutions like ADAAR and NDR due to more efficient filtering and traffic redirection. This optimization has led to better event management and reduced strain on network resources.
Implementing Gigamon into clients' environments typically involves providing training courses and materials to explain its functionality. This results in improved workflow efficiency for the IT teams, as they gain a better understanding and can effectively utilize Gigamon to enhance their environment.
I would recommend Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline to others. Overall, I would rate it as a ten out of ten. It is a great product.

The product is expensive.
I have been using Cisco Nexus Dashboard Data Broker for more than five years.
The product is stable.
The solution is scalable.
The initial setup depends on the solution. When we implement the solution, we try to do not to complicate the solution.
I am a system integrator providing solutions about data center management solutions for our clients. Data Broker is one of the solutions I propose to my clients.
I recommend the solution.
Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
