Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"A great feature is the memory utilization graph."
"The feature that I have found the most useful is the decode of packets. It gives us a variety of information that helps us in figuring out what to look at. The networks are getting really complex, and without the information that we get from Iris Session Analyzer, we couldn't do our job. Its graphical user interface is also very easy to use and intuitive."
"We have a good relationship with NETSCOUT, and it's reflected in the communication and the service that we see from them."
"It is highly customizable and can be integrated well with third-party software."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The tool's UI is user-friendly, and pricing is affordable. It is very easy to deploy and learn."
"Since we have been using it for the last five years we have done very well with reference to ROI."
"This is a product that I can recommend."
"The solution is useful for monitoring network devices."
"Network tracking is the most valuable feature of Network Analyzer."
"Our customers like this product due to the fact that it's quite simple and it can be integrated with other solutions that complement and complete each other."
 

Cons

"Sometimes the network analyzer will show that a server is down when it's actually working."
"They can increase flexibility in the search engine. Basically, I go with the information I have at the time. If I could just type in the parameter that I want to search for and its value, it might be easier than having to do the groundwork upfront before I can get my traces."
"The graphics and reports can be a little bit better."
"Nagios Network Analyzer should integrate an application monitoring solution to monitor application bandwidth usage."
"There is room for improvement on the setup side."
"There are some loopholes you need to be aware of from a security perspective."
"I think the reports can be improved. They're adopted."
"It's very hard to install materials. You need a lot of documentation. They should make it easier to install and configure the solution."
"It has an old-fashioned interface."
"They need to have some automation models embedded in them."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't know what the cost to buy the solution was, but I doubt if it's a significant part of the budget as far as the maintenance and support are concerned."
"They charge around ten thousand per month for one thousand nodes. That is their overall cost, but it differs on which company you are applying to, whether you are a service provider or an enterprise."
"The solution is cost-efficient."
"I rate Nagios Network Analyzer's pricing a six out of ten."
