We performed a comparison between Big Switch Networks and NETSCOUT nGeniusONE based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Big Switch Networks, Juniper and others in Software Defined Networking (SDN)."What I liked about the solution is the quick and easy way you can build a network data center fabric."
"It gives me the MOS, latency, and jitter."
"The fact that it's able to capture and store packets from the wires is very useful for troubleshooting with our vendors, when issues do come up. It's valuable that we have that overall data for them."
"The most valuable feature is that it is in line with the traffic. It already captures the raw traffic itself and then filters it, giving us the correct image. Some other companies may just extract what they think is valuable from the traffic itself. nGeniusONE is in line."
"It is a scalable solution."
"If one of our network pipes is getting plugged up by somebody using too much bandwidth, we can use the NETSCOUT tool to examine and find out what is going on."
"Deep packet inspection is probably the strongest feature."
"Among the valuable features, if it's TAP'ed well, are the density of the data that you can get and the relatively high veracity or accuracy rate that we see from it."
"It has versatility to correlate different traffic types and performance management statistics."
"I think if I was to say something that could be improved, it would be a multi-data center nature of the implementation."
"Its initial setup process is complicated."
"Our biggest area of concern right now, supporting the applications, is that while NETSCOUT does a good job of monitoring the network and the applications, we need more visibility into system health and performance monitoring."
"The initial deployment is tedious and requires a lot of build, deployment and configuration time. Experience is key to a successful deployment."
"The product is a little complicated."
"One of the products we use is SolarWinds, and it provides a very cool mapping of an agent from end-to-end. If NETSCOUT could somehow implement that into their design... make it quicker and easier to get those net paths, it would be huge."
"The feature I am looking for is the Arbor technology, especially to run in parallel with our firewall... It's getting there."
"The solution could do more for security. It should offer more security-related features."
"NETSCOUT nGeniusONE's pricing is higher compared to the competitors. It is more than 15-18 percent of competitor costs. It also needs to add AI features."
