Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"A lot of times one of the AppNeta transactions showed that there is an issue, whereas everything seemed to be working properly. Once we dug into it, we realized that it really was highlighting a problem that otherwise we would not have seen."

More AppNeta Pros →

"This product has good network monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities.""NetBrain is a very simple tool."

More NetBrain Pros →

Cons
"Having to deal with configuring the end devices using a USB stick is a bit cumbersome. It would be nice if there was a better way of handling that."

More AppNeta Cons →

"The solution could integrate more automation.""Each device needs to be configured to allow NetBrain to poll for the information it needs, which can be very time-consuming for a large network."

More NetBrain Cons →

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I inherited this from a different version, and I haven't yet gone through a renewal because we had purchased three years upfront. So, to me, that still remains to be seen. Once it comes up for renewal, we'll see what happens. Especially because now it is Broadcom, it is going to change anyway."

    • More AppNeta Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Licensing is based on a per-device basis, which means that it can get very expensive if you have a large number of devices."
