Proactive log monitoring has reduced production issues and now identifies errors before release
The best features Bronto offers, from what I've seen so far, are mainly the log analysis, integration with other third-party tools, such as Jira and ticketing systems. I'm impressed with how the integrations with Jira and ticketing systems work for me so far. I haven't come across any challenges, but we're still evaluating Bronto against some other providers as well. It's pretty seamless. The thing that surprised me about the features is how easy it was to get set up and get everything put together. Bronto integrates and can pull CloudWatch logs without needing separate SDK calls from our code. Bronto has positively impacted my organization even in this early evaluation phase by being very useful for looking at lower environment logs and evaluating potential issues before they even make it out. We have resolved at least one issue just from the monitoring that Bronto provided.

I have used Cisco Meraki vMX dashboard's orchestration feature with this product. The Meraki dashboard helps manage our network effectively because it is quite easy; we manage ourselves very well. Performance-wise, there is no problem with Cisco Meraki vMX's integrated analytics for network performance, as my 70 to 80 customers use Cisco only. We do business with semi-enterprise customers, and there is no competition against Cisco except for the wireless solutions from Aruba. We find it easy to promote Cisco Meraki vMX because the centralized dashboard is there for management, and the customers accept it without any problem. From a sales point of view, it is easy to integrate, and nowadays, the 93 is also part of the Meraki desktop.

Pros

"Bronto has positively impacted my organization even in this early evaluation phase by being very useful for looking at lower environment logs and evaluating potential issues before they even make it out."
"The Meraki dashboard helps manage our network effectively because it is quite easy; we manage ourselves very well."
"Cisco Meraki vMX offers sufficient features for most customers; it is very easy to handle and proves very efficient, with the main advantages being the visibility it provides and the ease of administration."
"The most valuable features in Cisco Meraki vMX are easy deployment, an easy-to-read dashboard for information, and automatic load balancing for two circuits in the MX, which are the most important key features for our small business customers."
 

Cons

"The only thing that I would suggest for further improvement is an expansion on Bronto's offerings so far."
"It is not the strongest security solution, so if you want to have next-generation firewall features, you always need an additional component."
"In comparison with Aruba, I find Aruba to be far better in terms of deployment, ClearPass, and everything, which is all very easy."
"Cisco Meraki vMX needs to improve its ability to configure complex policy-based routing."
