Experience boosts operational efficiency while performance sees room for improvement
I don't have specific information on whether it was purchased on the AWS marketplace or somewhere else. I am working with Dynatrace Operator. I am also working with Algosec, Alluvio, CrowdStrike, Firemon, Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline, and other solutions. I think it's a good tool, and I am satisfied with it. We have not stored cloud workloads with Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline yet; we are still on-premises. The technical support takes about one to two hours to respond, which is acceptable. I am satisfied with the scalability of the product. The interface is good.

Aids significantly in the threat-hunting process and provides a score-based evaluation of user experience
There are many valuable features, but understanding end-user response times stands out. It provides a score-based evaluation of user experience, helping customers quickly pinpoint whether issues originate from the network, server, client, or application. Additionally, it facilitates in-depth analysis of application dependencies. The retrospective network analysis capability of Observer GigaStor has been beneficial. It's a pivotal feature for network performance solutions. However, I prefer to consider the entire solution suite - GigaStor, along with GigaFlow and Apex - for comprehensive network visibility and monitoring. So, I prefer to integrate all three solutions to provide the best visibility. They complement each other well, with Apex aggregating and correlating data from both GigaStor and GigaFlow to enhance environmental understanding and troubleshooting efficiency.
