A cloud solution for warehousing with a troubleshooting feature
The initial setup is straightforward. It's based on user requirements. We also conduct heat mapping using a couple of tools. The only requirement is to understand the technical or configuration aspects from the user's end and then configure it. Mist takes no more than 15 to 20 minutes for a particular deployment. You need to understand the end user's environment and have a concrete plan on whether it's a greenfield installation or an existing one, considering the density and height. Based on that, we need to develop a passive heat map. Then, you need to discuss with the user to understand exactly what needs to be configured and what they require in their environment. Based on that, you can proceed with the installation. Additionally, you can perform post-installation heat mapping to ensure it matches the earlier heat map. I rate the initial setup an eight out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy.

We can very easily solve the issue or try to find the error
There is a big issue with the special way they use InfiniStream to store data. The InfiniStream has a certain capacity. So our customer centre asks why we don't store all the information that uses InfiniStream in Vblock or something like that. And NETSCOUT says that we need to store those data in a special way. And we use a special appliance called InfiniStream. So this kind of storage is not so big. For example, our customer has saved all the data, restored all the information, and backed it up elsewhere. For example, if something happened in the past month, we can see the package because the storage is a kind of FIFO. So we have a very limited space to see the previous days.

Reliable. simple to set up, and offers fast monitoring capabilities
We usually monitor for our public prefixes and propagations and if they are getting dropped or there is a route application. It is mainly on the public-facing side or the internet-facing use case. There are other use cases, however, for me, for the work that I do, that's what I'm using a…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"The biggest benefit is the ability to do low-level packet inspection. When I say packet inspection, I don't mean looking at payload, but just looking at your communication handshakes and the like. It reduces troubleshooting time because you can get a much better view into the communications path between servers, database servers, web servers, and understand what's going on."
"The VoLTE model, call search and Media Monitor were essential when we launched VoLTE. We're relying heavily on them to troubleshoot our VoLTE calls."
"We are using nGeniusONE to run our bandwidth capacity management reports. In the past, we used to be very reactive, we used to depend a lot on suppliers to tell us which sites are our hot sites, meaning, which have high bandwidth utilization. Now we do this in a much more proactive way and we are moving to a more predictive approach in that aspect, thanks to nGeniusONE."
"The speed that you can get from the top of a problem all the way down to the packet layer of troubleshooting analysis."
"The details it provides are among the most valuable features; the ability to drill down and get to the packet level."
"From the standpoint of VoLTE and related things, it's providing visibility into the network and how it operates."
"The most valuable features are visibility, real-time, on-demand."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of ThousandEyes is user-friendliness. It has been essential for us to have a solution that is easy to use."
"The authentication overall - including to the VPN and LAN - is excellent."
"From our perspective, ThousandEyes stands out as an invaluable tool because of its deep and extensive capabilities."
"ThousandEyes gives companies better visibility."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its scalability. It is a good tool for network admins."
"It's fairly easy to set up."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The solution's most valuable feature is network security."
 

Cons

"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"For individual subscriber tracings, sometimes it does not capture all the messages. There is a little bit of room for improvement there."
"The feature I am looking for is the Arbor technology, especially to run in parallel with our firewall... It's getting there."
"There is currently less visibility or GUI to analyse the packet for troubleshooting purposes."
"Its initial setup process is complicated."
"NETSCOUT nGeniusONE's pricing is higher compared to the competitors. It is more than 15-18 percent of competitor costs. It also needs to add AI features."
"This is a typical thing, but every time they do a major code upgrade, we get hit with some nasty bugs. Some of them literally stop the whole platform from collecting traffic data. They should really do more Q&A on the software stability before release."
"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."
"The product was lacking for awhile when they did the Arbor acquisition. I was waiting to see more security stuff, which they did eventually add, and is now impressive."
"There is room for improvement in terms of customization and user-friendliness."
"The tool does not provide features for application-level monitoring."
"Once I fully use the tool 100%, I'm sure I would have something to critique, however, for now, I'm happy with it."
"It's an expensive solution."
"They only offer synthetic requests."
"It might be practical to extend monitoring capabilities to include network devices"
"We can show the traffic path in some cases, but it's almost impossible to do so in cloud networks like CDN, Akamai, or Microsoft."
"The solution's network and reporting could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"This solution has saved us more than $50,000 a month and freed up 30 percent of our bandwidth."
"I rate the price of NETSCOUT nGeniusONE a four out of five."
"The biggest problem we have with this product is the expense."
"We have a premium customized contract for the solution."
"The product is too expensive compared to other products."
"The price is only for acquisition; it's not a licence."
"The scalability becomes very expensive quickly."
"The solution's pricing is cheap; I rate it a five out of ten."
"In our company, we incur a yearly expense in our company for the licensing part. I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten since it is expensive."
"The solution is cheap."
"It is a quite expensive solution."
