Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 solution is straightforward to set up.""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 has high stability.""The most valuable feature is NetFlow."

"It has greatly reduced the number and duration of outages as support teams are notified immediately when something goes wrong or even before something breaks.""The most valuable feature is that everything can be consolidated into one dashboard.""The most valuable features of the solution are its grouping scripts and event focus.""The event correlation is the most valuable aspect of the solution.""It is stable.""Purely, its flexibility is the most valuable aspect. It is hugely configurable.""The integration with the ticketing tool makes sure that there is a record for every issue.""It has the capability to display overall health of the infrastructure and is very useful for executive reports on the health of the infrastructure."

Cons
"Its filtering feature needs improvement.""They should increase the solution's cluster capacity.""It only inspects a specific kind of traffic. There should be different kinds of use cases.""The security should be improved.""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.""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."

More Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline Cons →

"Installing and upgrading the HPOM and Operations Agent software is not always easy and the process can be quite fragile. Once it is running, it is very quick and stable, but an upgrade can quite easily break something or terminate unexpectedly.""The service takes a very long time to start and it requires a lot of resources.""Remove the dependency of Java technology. This is a feature used for admin purposes to update the modeling.""Reporting has to be tackled a bit more. Conceptually, it is there and conceptually it is amazing, but somehow the module itself is suffering.""The pricing could be improved.""Our issues are largely support related due to where we are and the knowledge base that we have here. This issue relates both HPE in general and to the technical products.""The initial setup of this tool is complex for people who lack experience with it.""pology-based event correlation does not work well with NNM events."
