We performed a comparison between Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline and Meraki Dashboard based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, ServiceNow, Microsoft and others in Event Monitoring."It offers straightforward integration."
"The most valuable feature for improving network visibility with Gigamon is the packet filtering capability."
"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 solution is straightforward to set up."
"It has high stability."
"The most valuable feature is NetFlow."
"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."
"We find that Meraki has all the features you need to be able to enable complex network protocols for AV equipment. We deal with a streaming product over IP, and Meraki is fantastic at that."
"Some of the features I have found valuable are the ease of access, simple configuration, and monitoring."
"It's really user-friendly."
"It can analyze the traffic that it is picking up from what may be a rogue access point, and it is able to identify those and send relevant notifications."
"It is a reliable product. It provides a lot of information that is easy to read."
"We like the visibility this solution gives us of the infrastructure."
"The initial setup process is quite simple."
"It is very easy to manage. It has good security, and it is working well with our firewall."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
"They should increase the solution's cluster capacity."
"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."
"In terms of improvement, while the initial setup is not overly complicated, we did encounter a few issues."
"Its filtering feature needs improvement."
"The security should be improved."
"It only inspects a specific kind of traffic. There should be different kinds of use cases."
"Meraki Dashboard could improve integration with non-Cisco platforms."
"An area for improvement in Meraki Dashboard is licensing management because it's a little complex. Product licensing can be made a little bit easier through license concurrency and a more straightforward approach to applying the license to products and services."
"Meraki lacks their own software for connecting to the VPN which creates some issues."
"It would be nicer if the dashboard was lighter."
"One area that could use improvement in the Meraki Dashboard is user-friendliness when navigating to port configurations."
"The tool is useful for managing devices and monitoring their current state, but it falls short in troubleshooting network issues, particularly with access points. It does not provide a complete understanding of the root causes of the issues. As a result, network engineers have had to use additional tools to complement it and conduct assessments. The only way to improve the tool would be to enhance its capability to identify and resolve network issues effectively."
"The cost of the solution is high and can be improved."
"I think this product could be improved with a CLI for more directives."
