NetScout nGeniusONE has been widely adopted by multiple departments within companies, especially by operation teams responsible for managing and operating infrastructures like networks and data centers. Users have found this software to be immensely helpful in monitoring service performance and supporting root cause analysis for network performance degradation and outages. With the implementation of nGeniusONE, the system has been effectively operationalized into a monitoring solution for all IT organizations within the company. It enables the baseline of applications, facilitating alerting and reporting for further investigation of issues. The deep packet inspection capabilities of nGeniusONE trace connectivity between clients, providing detailed information on packet drops and potential reasons behind them, as well as other parameters related to network functioning. This feature greatly improves network stability and generates triggers and alarms for packet drops caused by connectivity issues or link flaps. Moreover, nGeniusONE acts as a valuable monitoring tool for enterprise or large organizations by identifying network problems and potential losses through the analysis of network connectivity and stability. It is also utilized to monitor multiple links between branch offices to ensure traffic flows correctly and within an acceptable timeframe. The software provides a user-friendly graphical interface that displays easy-to-interpret traffic statistics, allowing engineers to delve deeper into packets when necessary. nGeniusONE proves particularly useful when troubleshooting network issues since it provides metadata and packet-level data, granting better visibility into network activities. Dashboards can be easily set up for quick views into the network, while utilization of baselines helps identify abnormal behavior. If further analysis is required, packet level data can be exported and sent accordingly. With its extensive use cases such as bandwidth capacity management, analysis of top talkers and applications, VoIP call analysis, SharePoint traffic analysis, NetFlow analysis at every site, and data center packet capturing, NetScout nGeniusONE is globally employed at over a thousand locations for comprehensive network traffic analysis. It is leveraged not only by the Telecom department but also by the applications departments and service desk for initial incident triage.

Reliable and Effective Solution: Multiple users have found NetScout nGeniusONE to be a reliable and effective solution for deep diving into the packet layer and identifying network and service performance issues in the protocol layer.

Long-Term Reliability: Several reviewers have mentioned that they have been using NetScout nGeniusONE as their main monitoring solution for many years, indicating its long-term reliability and effectiveness.

Easy Troubleshooting and Analysis: Many users appreciate how easy it is to troubleshoot network issues with NetScout nGeniusONE. They mention being able to capture problematic connection sessions using various filters, export pcap files for further analysis, and easily go back to history captures and logs when investigating intermittent or hard-to-capture connection issues.

Slow performance when analyzing large network captures: Several users have reported that analyzing and downloading big size network captures on NetScout nGeniusONE is slow, especially when adding more filters. This issue has been mentioned by multiple reviewers and they hope for improvement in this area as the data being analyzed continues to grow in size.

High pricing: Many reviewers have expressed their concern about the high pricing of NetScout nGeniusONE, making it difficult for smaller businesses to afford these solutions. The cost of the software in this niche market has been noted as a major drawback by several users.

Complex deployment and configuration process with poor technical support: A significant number of users have found the deployment and initial configuration process of NetScout nGeniusONE to be time-consuming and requiring a considerable amount of effort and expertise. They also mention that the technical support provided is inadequate, as solutions are not provided during initial meetings and multiple follow-ups are required.

  • OpenNMS and SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor (npm)
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.

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 will find that to be more work, this would be like starting with Wireshark. Instead, begin with the graphical interface to narrow down the traffic, a visual effect. Then go to the packet analyzer, time saver. As for PRTG, it's a NetFlow/SNMP collector with a quick and dirty look at traffic but lacks the tools to dig into the information it provides.

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.

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 security and advanced troubleshooting purposes.
ExtraHop was evaluated but I'm not sure that it was any simpler to use than NetScout. However, it seems to have a more robust API that we could totally use.

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 license we have purchased for ExtraHop doesn't provide this functionality.

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 same day if needed.
