We performed a comparison between Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline and SCOM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Event Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 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 most valuable feature is NetFlow."
"The most valuable feature for improving network visibility with Gigamon is the packet filtering capability."
"It offers straightforward integration."
"The monitoring features are the most valuable. We have seen a major benefit from that so far."
"The advantages of SCOM are that it is definitely user friendly and a more appropriate solution for what we need."
"The ease of deployment, especially on Windows platforms, is valuable."
"It discovers the components automatically, which is a fantastic thing. The discovery works in an automatic way, and it has a dynamic way of discovering the components, assets, and applications. It doesn't require any manual intervention."
"It works better than other products I’ve used – namely SolarWinds, which is cumbersome and error prone for web app monitoring. SCOM is not."
"The solution is used for monitoring the hardware inventory. For instance, it helps with the whole operational monitoring view for the company's infrastructure."
"This solution allows us to standardize all of the reports for monitoring the network, so it helps a lot for auditing purposes."
"I like some of their newer features, such as maintenance schedules, because SCOM records SLA and SLO time."
"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."
"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 security should be improved."
"Its filtering feature needs improvement."
"It only inspects a specific kind of traffic. There should be different kinds of use cases."
"I would like to see them improve their network monitoring."
"The GI is difficult to work with and the reporting servers are also difficult."
"I would like to see more standard libraries for the market solutions, out of the box, that you don't need to do a lot of work on."
"It lacks certain details that other products do better, like granular access and better application monitoring."
"Non Windows monitoring is fairly weak. Network device monitoring is not reliable."
"The console feature is very poor, and it would be very good for us if this were improved."
"We didn't know the solution enough, and therefore, it took a while to set everything up correctly. There was a learning curve."
"The solution should be more user-friendly and offer a better user interface."
