Unfortunately we have not used any other products like ExtraHop Performance Platform. This was decided before I came onboard with the company.

Chose ExtraHop Performance Platform
  • Extrahop has more 'canned' reports out of the box than Splunk and is arguably easier to use.

  • Extrahop provides better Application transaction monitoring and analysis than Solarwinds.
Chose ExtraHop Performance Platform
Actually Extrahop and Dynatrace they are quite similar, actually we have both of them being used in my business organization. I have found Extrahop had local technical support available in my city so made it a bit easy to communicate and seek for support if we met any problem …
Chose ExtraHop Performance Platform
We use ExtraHop specifically to monitor network traffic. It does many other things very well also, but it is the best network traffic analysis tool that we currently have in house. The fact that it is agentless also makes it more reliable and not dependent on agents running on …
Chose ExtraHop Performance Platform
Other tools have similar features, but will require agents. ExtraHop is agentless. After-sales support is extraordinary, the best I've experienced of any vendor.

Chose NETSCOUT nGeniusONE
They are different as one is more used for network config management and SNMP polling. Netscout is more of a packet level, metadata, baselining troubleshooting tool. Both I’d recommend but for different purposes.
Chose NETSCOUT nGeniusONE
SolarWinds provides better modularity, improving your ROI by paying only for what you need as opposed to paying for the entire suite whether you need it or not. It also seems to be much more intuitive. However, I'm not sure that it provides packet capturing functionality for …
Chose NETSCOUT nGeniusONE
In some of the aspects, Extrahop is a little similar to Netscout however Extrahop is a real-time performance monitoring tool doesn't provide the functionality to look back to the history data by providing the storage for network capturing data (pcap). Maybe it's just that the …
Chose NETSCOUT nGeniusONE
Wireshark has been around for years and has been used primarily for packet analyzing. NetScout does this and goes above and beyond with the graphics interface analyzes and customer filtering for packet analyzes. You can go straight to the packet analyze within NetScout but you …
Chose NETSCOUT nGeniusONE
Majority of vendors on the market at the time only handle a piece of network instrumentation. Netscout covered all the bases which meet our company's requirements for "One throat to choke" rule. For the market we are in its nice to have a local team that can be onsite the …

ExtraHop is going to replace our packet capture and storage technology since it not only detects network security breaches but can also have sensors installed throughout our network to look at historical packet captures for analysis. ExtraHop is well suited for threat mitigation, network segmentation, and threat analysis of the network.

It’s best for troubleshooting issues that require a packet level analysis. By having source/destination you can have a view into how the packets are traversing the network. If alerts/baselines are set up it can help identify something out of the norm. Very useful for VoIP applications as well. Would not recommend for small scale environments.

Pros
  • Extrahop can perform health monitoring end to end if you have multiple probes deployed in your network, the intelligence engine can easily help you to compare and data collected from different hops and help you to narrow down the issue to a specific part of your end to end network.
  • Extrahop is not just analyzing and monitoring the health of the network, actually, its deep-dive analysis engine can perform an analysis from the network layer up to the application layer. It's easy to identify the root cause whether it's a network issue or something wrong in the application, save the time to have the issue go around again and again between network team and application team to blame each other.
  • Extrahop provides good programming functionalities allowing the user to do their specific programing to meet the requirement of how they design to better operate the service.

  • The graphical interface has to be the key benefit of NetScout. I am more of a packet analyzer but the interface gives the upper levels easier view into the network.
  • The breakdown of sites is useful.
  • The ability of the break the traffic down and go into the packet analyzer straight from the graphical interface. Saves a lot of time writing filters with just simple clicks.

ExtraHop fits perfectly into the nist security framework to ensure the network is monitored and protected from anomalous behaviors.

It provides a lot of useful information, but it's not always easy/intuitive to find it. It really needs to get a fully functional API integrated to support automation and integration with other monitoring and analytics tools to enable faster decision making. On the other hand, it gathers a lot of useful information from complex networks that are useful for capacity management and faster incident isolation and resolution.

NETSCOUT nGeniusONE is the best solution which we have encountered so far. The best part about this is that it can be integrated with various third party tool for more visibility and behavior analysis. The dashboard is loaded with a lot of useful features which gives the complete trend analysis of connectivity loss and network flaps and helps to identify the critical sites which is not present in other technology solution. This is an incredible network performance monitoring tool
