A powerful service that is very stable and scalable

It's a very powerful service, you have to use your training and understand how to work it. After that, it's very easy to collect and to use. It may be hard to use for the administrators. It's like a Ferrari, if you're a very good driver you'll go to 300 but you have to know how to drive it. If you have a Ferrari but you don't know how to use it, it's not going to be good. Also, it's very important to understand what the customer needs to decide on what kind of products you are going to use, and what product and what solution to implement. I would rate the solution nine out of 10.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"My experience with technical support has been perfect."

"It allows us to get quicker resolutions. We can see exactly what is using up the bandwidth, so we can assist end users."

"It's an easy product to set up."

"It helps us get to root cause quickly. With utilization and consumption of bandwidth, we can usually see what application is taking as much as they should (or shouldn't), then account for it accordingly."

"The most valuable feature is utilization."

"The most valuable features are speed and cost."

"When we have mobile operators who are signal partners, where one is the roaming host and another is the roamer, we are able to see their traffic. Their packets are able to detect if any faults to develop, and at what point they fail."

"The technical support is really good. They will go above and beyond, if you are running into a problem. You can go to a sales engineer, who will engage technical support to help you out."

"It is very rock solid. We hardly have any hardware issues."

Cons

"The presentation of the features can be improved. It can be more user-friendly for the visual part of the portal and to allow the customer to be able to use."

"I'd like them to make the product more user-friendly."

"The stability depends on who is using the tool, because you only can get as much out of the tool as you put into it. There are a lot of patches for this particular environment, so you have to keep on them. If you lose track of them, then the product is not useful anymore."

"The single pane of glass feed still needs work."

"There is a timeout feature that we have been asking for awhile."

"We don't use the single pane of glass view, even though we own it."

"The scalability has some limitations and quirks to it. I would like to be able to upgrade rather than replace the whole thing."

"I would like to see an improved level of stitching between IPs."

"Being able to manage the packet flow switches in nGeniusONE would be great."

More NETSCOUT InfiniStreamNG cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is expensive."

"This product could be cheaper."

"I would like it to be more scalable with less spend."

"The scalability is good, but it comes at a cost. E.g., if you need 100 InfiniStream because you are sending gigs or terabytes of data to one InfiniStream, then you will have to purchase another InfiniStream, which are not cheap."

"It can be scalable. It just costs too much. With a company as big as ours, it gets too expensive to accommodate every single site."

"The price is a little high."

"To capture more with the solution that we bought, you have to buy another InfiniStreamNG, and there are only four ports in the back."
