    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.

    • If you are on a budget, this is one heck of a tool for the price (including the ~$200/year for the Pro subscription).
    • If you are OK with maintaining and updating open source tools, this is a great tool.
    • If you are afraid of the Linux command line or live in a Windows-centric world, this might not be the tool for you.
    • If you can't stand things occasionally not working, this is probably not a good fit.

    Usability
    ExtraHop
    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.

    It's open source. Your mileage may vary. Sometimes the provided documentation is beyond frustrating, other times it's right on the mark.

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

    I haven't used other products that are similar to Observium. Observium is an open tool, with a robust feature set. There are elements of comparable monitoring across other tools, but nothing I've seen that is a complete parallel in terms of feature set and visualizations. If I were asked, I wouldn't have another tool to recommend over Observium.
