We performed a comparison between Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline and SolarWinds NPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, ServiceNow, Microsoft and others in Event Monitoring."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."
"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 is NetFlow."
"The most valuable feature for improving network visibility with Gigamon is the packet filtering capability."
"The solution is straightforward to set up."
"The nice thing about SolarWinds is that it's kind of all-in-one. I can manage the status of my networking devices, whether they are up or down, I can see how much traffic is going across an interface, and I can run a report that tells me exactly what that traffic is."
"The initial setup was straightforward. We deployed the solution from new and completed the upgrades."
"The biggest thing for me is that it provided enough information for me to monitor. It alerts and provides you with the information you need."
"The most valuable features of SolarWinds NPM are network performance monitoring and the overall benefit for servers."
"You can monitor performance counters effortlessly."
"The most valuable feature of SolarWinds NPM is the performance monitoring to see the memory, and CPU utilization."
"SolarWinds NPM is a scalable solution since it can handle a huge number of users."
"What I've found most valuable about the solution is that it's scalable."
"In terms of improvement, while the initial setup is not overly complicated, we did encounter a few issues."
"They should increase the solution's cluster capacity."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
"Its filtering feature needs improvement."
"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."
"It has covered everything, so no improvement is required at their end. The only thing is the price."
"They have had a rather large security breach in the past. It's cost some companies customers."
"It would be nice to have a test to check if you can access a particular device via API without installing it and waiting for a poll cycle. You should have the capacity to initiate a test to see if it was reachable and get the results almost immediately."
"The only thing that can be improved is to continually add to the existing capabilities of the product."
"Scalability is a bit tricky because it requires more gateways in order to get the performance you may need. It also requires a lot of licensing."
"It would be nice if SolarWinds could have a polling engine on the site that would collect the reporting and then manage everything itself."
"In terms of scalability, there is room for improvement. When you start monitoring, if you have so many interfaces and you're trying to monitor them at a faster interval, or a shorter interval, you get to a point where you need to request another node."
"One of the challenges with SolarWinds is that in order to pull the data, we have to have a lot of false positives."
