Network detection enhances security while seamless integration boosts utility
I use Fortinet FortiNDR for its Network Detection features, primarily with FortiGate on-premises. However, I do not handle day-to-day operations myself; my team manages the tools. In general, there is no issue with FortiGate in our company Some of the valuable features include FortiGate's Network…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The dashboards are very informative compared to other solutions like Cisco, providing valuable insights into network threats."
"Using Fortinet FortiNDR as a bundle is cost-effective, providing a complete package of tools."
"The most valuable feature is NetFlow."
"It is a good product. It provides network visibility, which is important. Gigamon can bring some optimizations to my network. It is helpful for security inspection, and it makes my firewall work fast because my firewall doesn't have to do the inspection of the SSL connections, for example."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the encryption feature. From a security perspective, the solution hasn't significantly strengthened our security posture. However, it has greatly improved performance by streamlining encryption processes and avoiding encryption at multiple layers. This has also simplified troubleshooting, as we can whitelist certain processes."
"It offers straightforward integration."
"The Pipeline's Comprehensive Insights into data flows have helped improve operational efficiency and security."
"It has high stability."
"The solution is straightforward to set up."
"The most valuable feature for improving network visibility with Gigamon is the packet filtering capability."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in third-party integrations, particularly with other vendors like Check Point and Palo Alto."
"I would like to see the inclusion of sandboxing in the bundling. Currently, sandbox is not included in our package."
"It only inspects a specific kind of traffic. There should be different kinds of use cases."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
"Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline needs to improve its performance. I face issues with performance because we use SPAN, and the SPAN traffic is not good."
"The security should be improved."
"Its filtering feature needs improvement."
"In terms of improvement, while the initial setup is not overly complicated, we did encounter a few issues."
"The Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline should have a feature showing the traffic flow within its platform. Currently, customers have to use separate tools for monitoring, which is inconvenient. If it had its visibility feature, it would make monitoring easier and more complete without needing extra tools."
"They should increase the solution's cluster capacity."
