Automation increases efficiency, but pricing needs to be more competitive
Improvement is needed in making it cheaper, of course. I am not emphasizing making it cheaper, however, it should be more competitive with other products. The product itself is very good and helpful for me as a customer. The issue always is the price, as we cannot beat most of our competitors on pricing alone. If a product is just nice to have, not essential like an antivirus, if it's not really competitive with pricing, we cannot sell it.

Offers detailed network monitoring but requires improvement in deployment complexity and pricing
The price is really high, making it difficult for many financial companies to purchase immediately; it will take time for them to afford any budget for the purchase. The traffic data correlation feature's effectiveness with performance issues for clients remains uncertain as there are questions that need to be addressed through engineers regarding how many customers are actually using it. Regarding pricing and value for money, while the solution has the potential to save time and money for clients in the long term, monitoring solutions for performance management or network monitoring do not cause immediate damage to a company. It could lead to damage over time, but financial and management teams typically cannot see the immediate crisis. This is why many big companies Samsung and Hyundai try to build their own monitoring solutions using open-source tools and their own engineers, though it has not been successful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Most of the features are pretty good and the solution is user friendly."
"It's a simple and humble tool."
"It is a pretty stable solution...It is a pretty stable solution."
"In terms of most valuable features, we are happy with everything so far, and maybe in a year's time I'll have a different opinion on what can change, what can be better, but for now it's the perfect solution."
"We have found the solution to be very flexible to our requirements. We have been able to configure it on-premise effectively when we were using less of the cloud."
"Kaseya Traverse is a very stable solution and very sustainable in terms of what the market wants, what is out there, price-wise and functionality features. They're quite competitive and they are always innovating."
"Automating processes is crucial for me, so the automation part stands out."
"The remote support and data collection features are great."
"We are using nGeniusONE to run our bandwidth capacity management reports; in the past, we used to be very reactive and depend a lot on suppliers to tell us which sites are our hot sites with high bandwidth utilization, and now we do this in a much more proactive way and are moving to a more predictive approach in that aspect, thanks to nGeniusONE."
"The best feature is when we have it connected permanently via TAPs. That enables us to constantly collect data and then we can go back in time... To be able to rewind, back in time, and see the problem as it happened, is very helpful."
"From my user community, I am getting the impression that something which used to take days has now gone to hours for troubleshooting."
"In addition, I believe it has cut overall troubleshooting times for the OSS and DevOps teams, and it has increased uptime."
"When it's implemented properly, and the training is there to use the interface and have it work in your company, and people understand it, it can be very effective."
"The solution most definitely provides us with increased visibility while conducting an IT deployment, allowing us to understand changes that we're making in the network, see our network's performance day-to-day and hour-to-hour, and even identify customer impact before the customer complains."
"The real-time insights that NETSCOUT nGeniusONE provides are very helpful."
"For common issues, we have seen a measurable decrease in mean time to know (MTTK) and mean time to repair (MTTR), cutting troubleshoot time on many issues from days to hours (or less) and helping increase our application and network uptime."
 

Cons

"Reporting is tedious and not organized in the way customers expect."
"Kaseya Traverse can improve by adding a Service Map to help us create a configuration management database (CMDB), this would be helpful for us."
"Improvement is needed in making it cheaper."
"In terms of what could be improved, we are innovating all the time, as well as having a look at different avenues so that the strategy follows the structure. I think the software is still a little bit too new to actually fully asses what it has."
"However, the issue lies in the adequacy of the responses to my questions, which are usually not up to par."
"Reporting is a bit difficult."
"I think the software is still a little bit too new to actually fully assess what it has."
"Dashboards and Central Protection were an issue. Also, database monitoring was not there. Even though they said that it was there at an additional cost, that tool was very basic. We couldn't have device configuration backup also."
"While it is good, the single pane of glass view is too high level. It is better for management or someone doing sanity checks. A lot of times, I need to go deeper into the additional screens to get what I want out of it."
"We would like better end-to-end data flows. This is something that my users always complain about, as they don't know what the data flows are on the network."
"The initial deployment is tedious and requires a lot of build, deployment and configuration time. Experience is key to a successful deployment."
"here is a big issue with the special way they use InfiniStream to store data."
"The initial deployment is tedious and requires a lot of build, deployment and configuration time."
"There are so many pieces of their product that integrate with one another that perhaps a recommendation for improvement would be some sort of bigger overview and map to help understand how all their pieces integrate together."
"We have a lot of timeouts when we are trying to assemble data packets together or trying to pull down a view of one particular call."
"Initially, we were having a lot of issues with bugs when using version 6.1.1. There were a lot of problems with the dashboard causing confusion."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not cheap, but it is not too expensive."
"The price depends on whether you are monitoring different applications, especially in bulk, and depends on what you're doing. If you're monitoring one endpoint, it will cost you 150 ZAR."
"I rate the price of NETSCOUT nGeniusONE a four out of five."
"It is a little overall pricey and expensive, but you get what you pay for."
"This solution has saved us more than $50,000 a month and freed up 30 percent of our bandwidth."
"If you are able and you are willing to use everything that Netscout provides to you, it's probably a relatively fair price. The problem is that it's such a large and such a complex tool that I'm not sure that many companies would be able to use it entirely, the way it's expected to be used."
"Their pricing is very competitive with other solutions... But what I like about NETSCOUT's licensing is that it's shared across all their platforms. They don't create a new licensing scheme for every one of their products. So for nGeniusONE, you buy a certain license level, and it works on all of their products."
"It is very expensive, but it's well worth the money."
"The price is only for acquisition; it's not a licence."
"Licensing is flexible, it's not tied to anything else. We can easily switch up the licensing piece... Obviously, NETSCOUT is a little bit in the higher range, but it gives you value for money. You get what you pay for."
