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."

"The most valuable features are speed and cost."

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

"The product is stable. I have never had any issue where we have lost an InfiniStream, or visibility from that particular InfiniStream, throughout the bank."

"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."

"It helps us to assist our customers to isolate problems. If it is us who is having the problem, then we can use it to streamline the process."

"The real-time troubleshooting and application segregation that you can do within it."

"We use it for monitoring whenever we update a new circuit or site."

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

More NETSCOUT InfiniStreamNG pros

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."

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

"The technology goes end-of-life on us every year, which is why I am looking forward to vSTREAM. I don't like when devices go end-of-life on us so quickly. If we can get more of an advanced notice of when an end-of-life is brought up, because our certification process within the organization takes a while."

"Only problems that we have had are fiber issues going into the TAPs or vSTREAMs, which are usually local site issues."

"The monitoring and reporting tool needs improvement. Users want more information, such as the level of detail when doing a packet analysis. They want more detail to be able to isolate down to a specific point."

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

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

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

"It's not able to communicate with our probes."

More NETSCOUT InfiniStreamNG cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is expensive."

"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."

"This product could be cheaper."

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

"The price is a little high."
