We didn't encounter any scalability issues.

Its scalability was great. There were no limits on it. I had one site with 1,000 devices, and it would constantly monitor all of them. It was great, and no agents needed to be deployed. It would just discover what was there.

The data center supports three to five hundred users. We're using it for the servers and applications. A user might call and report problems; then, we'd go into the data center and try to isolate it. For example, if you call and say, "Hey, we have problems with the SharePoint application," I'm going to say, "What are the problems?" You might say, "Hey, we have connectivity issues or dropouts." I go in there and I scan the port, I connect the OptiView up to it, send all that data to OptiView and analyze it. Another example is, say someone has a connectivity issue in the data center. They might say, "Hey, we're having issues; the 10 GigE connections are not coming up." I'll take the OptiView in there and make sure that 10 GigE connection is coming up, make sure I get an IP address and so on.

As far as I can recall, I don’t think I ever ran out of storage on it. It usually supports over 500 users.

I don't know why the hard disk failed. I don't believe it was a scaling issue.

I have no stability problems because we maintain network connectivity with the whole state of Hawaii; from here to the Big Island. If I need to run tests, it's usually to set up a reflector and run bandwidth tests. Scalability wise, it can go across and do quite a few things with what we need to test it with.

I have not encountered any scalability issues; it's just a good tool. Basically, it's used for troubleshooting, so it's not always used 24/7. When we need to use it, it works.

I have not had any issues with scalability because they built that into their product to handle that. You can capture packets, all of the information, that is coming over the wire, which is immense. You can have these ports that are rather large. Any other testing device can get overwhelmed with too much data but the OptiView does not. They have built into their technology the ability to capture all the packets and not miss any. If you miss any, your capture is basically ineffective because you lose the roadmap. It is an extremely solid product because they know the problems with the industry that they are dealing with. They are right on top of it.

Network Engineer at a university with 501-1,000 employees

With the cost it's hard to justify having more than one in our school. Also, the OptiView is overkill for 90% of the troubleshooting I do, making the much more portable Linkrunner, One-touch, or AirCheck better options. I've literally thrown those products in my back pocket. View full review »
