Experience boosts operational efficiency while performance sees room for improvement

I don't have specific information on whether it was purchased on the AWS marketplace or somewhere else. I am working with Dynatrace Operator. I am also working with Algosec, Alluvio, CrowdStrike, Firemon, Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline, and other solutions. I think it's a good tool, and I am satisfied with it. We have not stored cloud workloads with Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline yet; we are still on-premises. The technical support takes about one to two hours to respond, which is acceptable. I am satisfied with the scalability of the product. The interface is good.

It automates responses, preventing issues from becoming more severe

I just installed version 12.3, which actually already has a number of new features. It's going to make it easier for some of our new users. I'm old-school, I learned it the old way. I actually want to go back and implement it and start doing things the new way. As I need to train people, it's going to make it easier for them and make the learning curve much shorter. The new release addressed some shortcomings of the product. It was old-school. The learning curve was a little bit long in the beginning, but it's really come a long way.

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 solution is straightforward to set up."

"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."

"The Pipeline's Comprehensive Insights into data flows have helped improve operational efficiency and security."

"The most valuable feature for improving network visibility with Gigamon is the packet filtering capability."

"It offers straightforward integration."

"It has high stability."

"It is an easy product to use and it is stable."

"If something breaks and it goes down when it's not supposed to, automation brings it right back up."

"I do not have to keep recordings. It is there and is proactive. It helps the operators, human editors, and me."

"The documentation is simple, easy to follow, and use. A limited, first-time systems programmer can do it, in that it is out-of-the-box almost functional."

"It alerts the operators when it is time to repair the communications and the IPLs."

"It allows us to respond faster to issues. If there are issues that come out, we're able to capture a message and alert somebody about it."

"OPS/REXX is valuable because it allows us almost unlimited flexibility in automating our system."

"Their technical support is incredible, immediately responsive, and even if it is not updated to Level 2 support sometimes, they chip in providing more detailed answers and options to fix the problem."

Cons

"They should increase the solution's cluster capacity."

"Its filtering feature needs improvement."

"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."

"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 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 GUI interface could be improved, but that is coming. They are working on that."

"It’s a complex product. The initial installation is easy, but implementing various functions is a constant process."

"It definitely needs more web-based interface, to be more mobile-open. More APIs, more open source to it."

"The interfaces to USS, CA UIM could be better. CA Common Services interfaces - namely Zdata Mover, Zmessage Service, Zdatacolletcor - are poorly documented."

"The further expansion of the mainframe teamcenter interface. Also, the web services support is something that I am looking into."

"Because of its age, it's a little bit difficult to modernize some of the integrations and some of the functions."

"Scalability is zero. It cannot be scaled because of its age."

"The reason sometimes it is not stable, we do not have the expertise to write the script."

More OPS/MVS Automation Intelligence cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the solution as expensive, around an eight or nine out of ten. There are other competitive solutions available."

"The solution is highly-priced."

"The solution's price is reasonable."
