Engineer at a legal firm with 201-500 employees
Provides a stable solution but would improve by developing an all-in-one-solution
The advice I would give to anyone looking at implementing Netreo into their organization would be to do your market research and evaluate the product, do not just choose it because someone recommends it to you. Overall, from my perspective, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We find that the reporting is particularly valuable in terms of not only communicating with our peer teams but also with the executives."
"The most valuable feature as of late has been the API integration with ServiceNow."
"I don't think the product cost compares to the savings we get by detecting a problem and resolving a problem faster."
"It has been a godsend and has brought us 11 months of stability, the likes of which I'd never seen before in 15 years with the company."
"It's good to go with SevOne because the creation of thresholds, of policies, the grouping of servers, that is easy."
"SevOne really did a number for us, during the pandemic, of isolating which load balances were overloaded with users working from home, so that right there was worth its weight in gold because the management created all these reports for load balancers for access for remote workers and that's all they focused on for a couple of months."
"With this tool it is interesting to show the info to the client and explain where the traffic is."
"The bi-directional integration with ServiceNow has saved me a lot of money in man-hours, over the course of the last few years."
"The technical support team at Netreo is pretty good."
 

Cons

"The user management features need to be improved. It would be nice if we had more granular control, or layers of control, out of the box."
"The method of searching for SIP and the way to create the groups."
"The only thing that worries me with SevOne is that they were acquired by Turbonomic and now by IBM."
"Some similar solutions offer end-to-end visibility."
"The customizations are very hard. The person doing it has to be very good at analytics and has to be very good in all languages"
"I'm not really sure if this was the software's fault or a server issue, but a couple of years back the disks were failing on our SevOne physical server every month and the server would go down. The secondary server took over from the primary until the disk issue was resolved. That was annoying."
"The reports are easy to configure but they are a bit outdated in terms of appearance and visualization."
"Some of the services and functionality are adapted for SevOne via open-source, and the cost is very high. For the price that they are asking, it cannot be justified."
"The scalability of Netreo is lacking."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Have a bank of licenses, because it is about the number of objects (RAM, ports, CPU, etc.)."
"Prices per license are not huge, but they exist."
"The pricing has not evolved with the market, which is one of the reasons we are moving to a new product."
"Choose a SevOne partner who can provide SevOne as a service and can deliver professional services and maintenance."
"A blocking point is the high upfront cost because it is challenging to get it accepted and the purchase approved."
"Although I don't have exact details in terms of cost, my experience has been that SevOne is willing to make a deal with the customer."
"The tool is not expensive. We were able to negotiate with SevOne on pricing."
"There are cheaper solutions available."
