| Ingeniero en Telecomunicaciones at a energy/utilities company with 1,001-5,000 employees | 3.5 | NETSCOUT nGeniusPULSE works well for traffic analysis with a user-friendly dashboard, unlike SolarWinds. It isn’t integrated with SolarWinds, and I can't comment on support or setup. I’d rate it 7.5 out of 10. |
| Gerente De Ventas at internet winds ag | 5.0 | I use NETSCOUT nGeniusPULSE to analyze international traffic and gain visibility over bandwidth.
