Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It has high stability."
"The most valuable feature for improving network visibility with Gigamon is the packet filtering capability."
"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 most valuable feature is NetFlow."
"The solution is straightforward to set up."
"The Pipeline's Comprehensive Insights into data flows have helped improve operational efficiency and security."
"The feature that I have found most valuable in ManageEngine Applications Manager is its dashboard."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"ITSM is a valuable feature, it complies with the requirements in Pakistan."
"ManageEngine Applications Manager's installation is pretty easy."
"ManageEngine Applications Manager maintains the historical data and it's easy for us to analyze the trends and patterns and fix them accordingly."
"We do not have pricing constraints as an organization, because we do have reservations about ManageEngine being functionally scalable."
"The anomaly detection feature helps with maintaining the system's health. It is regarding our IT incident center."
"What I like most about ManageEngine Applications Manager is its price point, apart from its technicalities. The solution is cheaper than its competitors. ManageEngine Applications Manager has helpful documentation that makes setting it up straightforward."
 

Cons

"The security should be improved."
"Its filtering feature needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"It only inspects a specific kind of traffic. There should be different kinds of use cases."
"They should increase the solution's cluster capacity."
"In terms of improvement, while the initial setup is not overly complicated, we did encounter a few issues."
"The dashboards in the interface need a lot of work."
"One area of improvement is the dashboard should be more readable and available."
"I would like the solution to improve the ability to track services."
"The integration process with third party tools poses some challenges; enhancing the robustness of these integrations could greatly improve overall functionality and user experience."
"An area for improvement in ManageEngine Applications Manager is artificial intelligence. If AI is integrated into the solution, it'll be a piece of cake. Currently, it's all configured manually."
"They could probably rearrange the UI so that it would be easy for people who are new to the Application Manager to configure things."
"The information provided by ManageEngine is not deep-dive like IBM and CA provide."
"They can improve the post-processing of the data. AppDynamics has more powerful tools for post-processing or analytics. It has some limitations in more complex environments, but because we are free to use different solutions, we try to find what is best for the customers or the problem we are trying to solve."

You can purchase a yearly subscription or a perpetual license. The standard license covers most features, but you can still have some paid add-ons."
"Price-wise, it is a cheap tool...The solution's licensing model is subscription-based, in which yearly payments are to be made."
