vRealize Network Insight Reviews

The network assurance is great. 

It's useful for analyzing networks.

The product offers good data integration with other products as well.

It's a very powerful, very manageable product. 

The initial setup is simple. 

It has a very nice user interface and is user-friendly.

In some integrations with other products like F5, Cisco, and others, we sometimes encounter some bugs, and we sometimes have some integration issues that require us to contact VMware support to try to solve the problems. We'd like the simplification of integrations in the future.

Support could be much better. They do not do a good job of finding issues. 

The security could be enhanced slightly.

We've used the solution for almost two years. 

It's a stable product. We do not find it to be excessively buggy or glitchy. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

The solution is scalable. In some projects, we deploy it as clusters, and it works out well. It depends on the customer's environment. 

We've had issues in the past. In two cases, we have some clients who had issues, and we weren't given any solution to the problems. They are both still ongoing issues. 

When customers do not speak English well, there are also issues with communication. They need to take a bit more time with non-native speakers. 

Neutral

I do not have experience with any other products at this time. 

This is not a hard solution to set up. It's very straightforward and quite simple. I'd rate the ease of setup a five out of five. 

I tend to deploy the solution in customer environments. 

I don't know about the licensing of the VRNI, and I'm on the deployment side of the product. The sales teams deal with pricing. 

It's my understanding that the price is per device. I'm not 100% sure, however.

We are a VMware business partner in Turkey.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. 

vRealize is used to help our development team by producing detailed reports of the network flow and layout. This includes details like the TCP network keys and the RTT.

It has helped improve our organization by directing the network traffic using SDN.

The most valuable feature is the application pipeline.

The solution can be improved by making it more compatible with other brands, allowing for better integration.

I have been using the solution for almost one year.

We have had problems with the collectors in the older versions 6.2 and 6.3 that required rebooting the platform. The newest version 6.7 appears to be stable with no issues.

The solution is scalable with the addition of more licenses.

The technical support team is very good.

Previously we used Zabbix but it is not capable of analyzing the network flow inside the SDN.

The initial setup is straightforward as long as you follow the detailed step-by-step instructions supplied with the solution.

The implementation was done with the help of an engineer.

We have seen a return on investment with this solution.

Before choosing the solution we evaluated Calico.

I rate the solution ten out of ten.

For our requirements, five people are needed to maintain the solution. I recommend the solution tool for all networks and security.
