Overall Satisfaction with Cisco ThousandEyes

Have it installed on cores to watch traffic. Installed on end points at POC to troubleshoot specific individual problems with connectivity.

Pros

  • Show where problems lie b/t user and server
  • See latency on the network
  • Check cloud availability

Cons

  • Implementation
  • Looks good in theory, need better documentation to get the results shown in labs
  • Licenses come with switch purchases
  • Desktop licenses are an additional costs
  • Licenses are confusing. different buckets of licenses, caused by large company with different divisions
Connected directly to the switch. Other vendors all seem to be add-ons. They claim they are different, but I don't know why I would go spend additional money for another product.

Gigamon GigaVUE Cloud Suite™, Nozomi Networks Vantage
Well suited in a confusing environment where there are different owners along the path of the packets. It cannot drill into the application, stops at the layer 1 at the end user.
