DX NetOps can be improved by expanding its integrations with different tools, as it can currently integrate with Spectrum and other Broadcom products. It would be beneficial to gain integration capabilities with tools such as New Relic or SolarWinds. Integration with DX NetOps occurs through API, which fetches metrics from those tools, and this is currently happening in our area, with DX NetOps receiving data not only from Spectrum but also from New Relic and SolarWinds. DX NetOps could be improved by providing more communication methods beyond SNMP traps to accommodate different private clouds, especially as customers increasingly adopt vendor-specific clouds. For example, Sainsbury's uses SAP cloud, SAS, and Oracle cloud, where monitoring is not currently possible through DX NetOps and Spectrum, which are limited to certain mechanisms. Within the organization, SNMP is usable, but to display metrics from outside the organization, different communication methods such as agent-based connections, TCP/IP, or secured connections are necessary—features not currently available in DX NetOps and Spectrum.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The AI is the best feature in this solution."

"It is straightforward to configure, and you can quickly gather data from your infrastructure."

"A highly scalable solution."

"DX NetOps network monitoring and fault tolerance are the absolute best in the market, especially for the Indian market."

"Real-time insights through DX NetOps benefit diagnosing and resolving network issues since Spectrum has all sorts of details, but it lacks dashboards and a readable tabular format."

"It's good for root cause analysis for network problems and network link problems."

"I like that it provides an overall view of our network. From the topology view to every event, we can view it. We can also see the interface utilization for future capacity planning. It fits our use case and environment."

"I rate the stability of the product as ten on a scale of one to ten, indicating that it is very stable."

More DX NetOps pros

"It helps us get to root cause quickly. With utilization and consumption of bandwidth, we can usually see what application is taking as much as they should (or shouldn't), then account for it accordingly."

"It allows us to get quicker resolutions. We can see exactly what is using up the bandwidth, so we can assist end users."

"The technical support is really good. They will go above and beyond, if you are running into a problem. You can go to a sales engineer, who will engage technical support to help you out."

"It has cut our group's troubleshooting time down significantly, e.g., depending on the issue, what would normally take maybe a couple of hours will now take minutes."

"An issue that used to take days is now fixed within minutes to an hour."

"The product is stable. I have never had any issue where we have lost an InfiniStream, or visibility from that particular InfiniStream, throughout the bank."

"The real-time troubleshooting and application segregation that you can do within it."

"We are attracting customers in good sized numbers as we advertise and market this solution."

More NETSCOUT InfiniStreamNG pros

Cons

"It would be useful to have more AI features."

"The hardware requirements can be improved."

"It would be better if they had an NFA network analysis feature. We appreciate features like extended network security for bucket flows, but it would be better to have some IDs, IPS functionalities, DDoS, or something like that."

"Lacks dashboards and better integration with other solutions."

"DX NetOps could be improved by providing more communication methods beyond SNMP traps to accommodate different private clouds, especially as customers increasingly adopt vendor-specific clouds."

"One improvement that could make the product better is to streamline its modules into a more cohesive solution."

"DX NetOps is somewhat convoluted, and some of the programming constructs can be documented or driven through languages such as Python, Perl, and shell scripting, but they have their proprietary language, which may not be very user-friendly."

"Technical support could be more responsive."

More DX NetOps cons

"The NetFlow Collectors could handle more flows per minute."

"There is a timeout feature that we have been asking for awhile."

"Sometimes, we can't access it."

"The technology goes end-of-life on us every year, which is why I am looking forward to vSTREAM. I don't like when devices go end-of-life on us so quickly. If we can get more of an advanced notice of when an end-of-life is brought up, because our certification process within the organization takes a while."

"The technology goes end-of-life on us every year, which is why I am looking forward to vSTREAM."

"The stability depends on who is using the tool, because you only can get as much out of the tool as you put into it. There are a lot of patches for this particular environment, so you have to keep on them. If you lose track of them, then the product is not useful anymore."

"The single pane of glass feed still needs work."

"There is a timeout feature that we have been asking for awhile."

More NETSCOUT InfiniStreamNG cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"It can be scalable. It just costs too much. With a company as big as ours, it gets too expensive to accommodate every single site."

"The price is a little high."

"The scalability is good, but it comes at a cost. E.g., if you need 100 InfiniStream because you are sending gigs or terabytes of data to one InfiniStream, then you will have to purchase another InfiniStream, which are not cheap."

"To capture more with the solution that we bought, you have to buy another InfiniStreamNG, and there are only four ports in the back."

"I would like it to be more scalable with less spend."

"This product could be cheaper."
