Easy to set up, simple to use, and offers great technical support

There are quite a few manual processes. We've had issues with pulling reports. Sometimes we have trouble or get errors. The reporting process should be easier. If you have a hub, you should be able to have an unlimited number of servers. For example, if you have 500 servers, and the limit is ten, you have to pull 50 reports. We'd like to just pull one report for all servers. This also increases the time to pull reports. If we have to pull more reports, it takes that much longer than just pulling one. The product can be expensive. Right now, they are updating and consolidating the dashboard. I'm expecting an update that will resolve a few glitches in the server.

"It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions"

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management pros

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

"The most valuable features are speed and cost."

"It is very rock solid. We hardly have any hardware issues."

"The ability to troubleshoot customers' connectivity has been very beneficial."

"The tool has the ability to look back within a month's data. It is very easy to navigate within the tool and troubleshoot the problem, compared to other solutions that we've used in the past."

"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."

More NETSCOUT InfiniStreamNG pros

Cons

"Stability."

"We would like to see automatic network topology."

"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."

"We've had issues with pulling reports."

"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."

"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."

"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."

"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management cons

"Being able to manage the packet flow switches in nGeniusONE would be great."

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

"We don't use the single pane of glass view, even though we own it."

"I'd like them to make the product more user-friendly."

"Only problems that we have had are fiber issues going into the TAPs or vSTREAMs, which are usually local site issues."

"The scalability has some limitations and quirks to it. I would like to be able to upgrade rather than replace the whole thing."

"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 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."

More NETSCOUT InfiniStreamNG cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."

"Pricing for DX Unified Infrastructure Management isn't cheap at all. It's a complex tool, so you have to pay more. No one is happy with a large bill to pay, but if it's a complex product and you designed a complex solution to be monitored, it'll be your fault that you need to buy an expensive product, and that would be implicit in the design of DX Unified Infrastructure Management. Monitoring is just a small part of it. Sometimes you have to pay a significant amount of money for a complex yet very good solution."

"Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."

"The product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall."

"CAD $400,000 annually."

"This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."

"This product could be cheaper."

"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."

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

"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."

"The price is a little high."

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