Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""It offers straightforward integration.""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 most valuable feature for improving network visibility with Gigamon is the packet filtering capability.""It has high stability.""The solution is straightforward to set up."

"I believe the most crucial feature of OmniPeek search is the ability to sniff packets based on channel switching.""The most valuable feature is OmniPeek is user-friendly.""The most valuable features are the voice bot, which checks the quality of service for voice, and the expert view that gives me insight on what and where to troubleshoot.""It's a solid piece of software. It's stable.""The most valuable feature of OmniPeek is the ability to assign custom color codes to the different packets easily.""The most valuable feature of OmniPeek was the ability it gave us to see the connection procedure."

Cons
"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.""It only inspects a specific kind of traffic. There should be different kinds of use cases.""The security should be improved.""They should increase the solution's cluster capacity.""The graphical user interface could be improved.""In terms of improvement, while the initial setup is not overly complicated, we did encounter a few issues.""Its filtering feature needs improvement."

More Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline Cons →

"I would like to see the tool work in an open environment the same as how it does in a closed environment.""I would like to see the saving feature improved. We have had issues if you do not save your progress then you have to start from the beginning.""I am not using OmniPeek for automation, we only do manual testing. Automation testing is tedious to do. The automation should be more user-friendly. I have exposed some APIs but the usage is not user-friendly.""Making it more clear on how to configure the filters, or really automating them, would be an improvement.""I don't see a clear roadmap in the future for improving this software.""The solution's automation has room for improvement."
