Featured Review
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 for improving network visibility with Gigamon is the packet filtering capability.""It offers straightforward integration.""It has high stability.""The solution is straightforward to set up.""The most valuable feature is NetFlow.""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."

"We were having some issues with a certain site, and it was only Statseeker that showed us what the problem was.""This solution helps in terms of troubleshooting, and you can do capacity planning with it.""It is fairly simple and easy to use as an all-purpose network monitor.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the simplicity of adding new devices into it.""Statseeker helps to quickly see if you have a spike or something going on. In the future, we need to get NetFlow in the tool so we can see what the IP is.""Being able to look back historically at the uptime and downtime is invaluable.""It also allows us to predict the capacity on WAN circuits, as well as other circuits, to help us plan for upgrading.""The most important for us is how fast this solution is, as well as the granularity that you can get to, such as per-minute statistics."

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

More Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline Cons →

"We haven't seen an ROI.""I would like to see the solution incorporate diagnosis of the workstation.""Maybe they could provide a little bit more flexibility on creating custom dashboards.""The interface could be more user-friendly and it would be nice if there were enhanced options for reporting.""It would be very nice to have the Cisco ACI option included in the regular license.""I would like to see a friendlier user interface in the administration tool.""The inclusion of configuration management features and SIP links would improve this solution.""I would like to have soft alarming. If an inner-base all of a sudden triggers a threshold, we have to rely on a lot of other tools and then we go into Statseeker to verify it. If Statseeker would confirm it preemptively and trigger it into our network panel, that would be nice."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The solution is highly-priced."
  • "The solution's price is reasonable."
  • "I would rate the solution as expensive, around an eight or nine out of ten. There are other competitive solutions available."
  • More Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Pricing is reasonable but licensing should unlimited."
  • "One thing that needs improvement is how it's licensed. I understand historically the company licensed it off a same charge for everyone. I understand the company needs to make money, but how they introduced the tiered licensing model, and then multiple layers of licensing was a bit of an issue. So, on the whole, coming up with a licensing model that isn't confusing and complicated and is easy to understand would be one way to improve the product. They have told me lately that they're changing how they license stuff, but they haven't made that - as I understand it - in their marketing material public knowledge as of yet. I would say that at the moment it's a bit convoluted. It's confusing. Some of their basic licensing model is a bit of a ripoff. If you go over five or ten support calls in the basic licensing model they start charging you for support calls. I think that's a bit rich."
  • "Up until we actually talked to Statseeker, and Statseeker came and gave us an enterprise licensing model for multiple accounts, I would have said the pricing was not good value. The fact they've come to the party now and given us a very good discount, I would say it's probably about right, the pricing they're giving us now. But the retail pricing, if I went out and, as a separate company, and asked for pricing for one account, I probably would say their retail pricing is not competitive. The fact that they've given us a discount now because we have multiple servers across multiple accounts, I would say that pricing is about right, but not their retail pricing. It's too expensive."
  • "We now feel the pricing is a good value. Previously we had a just a normal license but now we've got an Enterprise license. Since the Enterprise, it's been a lot better value. We did think it was pretty expensive before, but with the Enterprise license it's almost less than half that price. If you have a number of accounts within the organization that use Statseeker, I would suggest get the Enterprise license."
  • "We paid $5,000 to $10,000 a year in maintenance."
  • "We have permanent licenses so there's really no cost, other than ongoing maintenance. When I think about it, that's running us about $20,000 a year."
  • "It would definitely be a yearly licensing cost, but I don't know what it is."
  • "It's probably $5K a year for the license."
