ExtraHop Performance Platform vs. ServiceNow IT Operations Management

One very big use is the ability to resolve performance issues. One example used was with the performance of sql issues. ExtraHop [Performance Platform] gave us the packet tracing ability to see the database was being queried incorrectly. A programmer has written a query that would bring the database information local and one the queries instead of allowing the sql server itself to do the work and push out the information.

• In platform expertise and workflows, so we don't allows have to build everything from scratch.
• Tight integration within ServiceNow (especially ITSM) but also brings information and data in from other sources, so I don't feel we are stuck in a proprietary hole.
• Increased investment in AIOps and automation
• Relatively fast time to value with out-of-the-box capabilities and automation.

• Some person like me who want to see Extrahop can integrate better with other network analysis tools like Wireshark or TCPdump. The desired functionality I've been looking for is to program a kind of specific criteria to trigger the probe starts to run Wireshark or TCPdump to save the trace of a specific problematic session. Sometimes I want to see the evidence in a packet trace layer rather than just have the warning or error only presented in the dashboard.

• With the introduction of AIOps, we hope triaging outage impact can become more proactive
• The UI could be greatly enhanced and simplified for daily operations

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 devices throughout our enterprise.

We wanted it integrated with ITSM and ITBM. Prioir to that we used JIRA for agile development and SysAid for ticketing. So we started with converting SysAid. We went live with Vanilla ITSM. Then we could have a basis for ITOM. However, we needed to migrated from JIRA to ITSM. Only then we felt mature enough to examine ITOM, which required quite a lot of resources. You need networking, motoring, IT and Cyber security team members in your project!!
