    ExtraHop
    ExtraHop is a must have for on-premise environments where traffic passes through a physical data centre or network operations centre giving complete visibility into what is happening on the corporate network. This works flawlessly if business operations are in office. For hybrid or remote setups, the solution still works well by placing ExtraHop traffic between the VPN termination and firewall and setting up a span port. ExtraHop works well for cloud based deployments as well with their virtual appliances; however, it does not have the same edge against competition as many CNAPP solutions can gather similar data using graph API's provided by the cloud service provider. That said, ExtraHop does provide some unique features that CNAPP's do not around network operations.

    From a packet tracing standpoint, it was easy to setup and analyze an issue we were having with eigrp errors between 2 data centers. Took a few minutes to stand up on both sides and compare the traffic to determine hellos weren't being sent. On the other spectrum, had it had the analytics of such products as Extrahop, it could have recognized and alerted us of an internal DNS attack we had.

    Cons
    ExtraHop

    • I use it primarily as a monitoring tool from a security standpoint, so one complaint is that the filter creation process takes a little time to learn.
    • In the digital days of printing less, I do still need to print network diagrams for compliance documentation and some of the larger network diagrams documents do not print easily.
    • I wish the network connection lines were easier to see. They are typically very light and you have to drill down to see them more clearly.

    Console is easy to use use and familiarize oneself with. Some points deducted as it can be annoying at times to have to drill down using the drop down menu, and then selecting tabs to get the data you want.

    Can't really rate this, we never had to call support. The product wasn't complicated to setup and learn. We have a high level of network knowledge so the product was self-explanatory.

    I evaluated ExtraHop against Dark Trace. Against all criteria, ExtraHop had a clear edge including visibility, price, effectiveness, integrations, and more.

    There is not any other product that does exactly what LiveAction does. Some come about halfway close, like scrutinizer by Plixer. However, there is a gap with that product as it doesn't give proper quality of service recommendations, or to update l2/l3 configs to head off problems. Plixer's scrutinizer product costs about the same. It was a no-brainer to pick LiveAction.
