Overall Satisfaction with ExtraHop
Extrahop is being used by multiple business groups in my organization, especially it's playing a critical role for network operation team to monitor the end to end service performance and stability for many critical business services.
- Extrahop can perform health monitoring end to end if you have multiple probes deployed in your network, the intelligence engine can easily help you to compare and data collected from different hops and help you to narrow down the issue to a specific part of your end to end network.
- Extrahop is not just analyzing and monitoring the health of the network, actually, its deep-dive analysis engine can perform an analysis from the network layer up to the application layer. It's easy to identify the root cause whether it's a network issue or something wrong in the application, save the time to have the issue go around again and again between network team and application team to blame each other.
- Extrahop provides good programming functionalities allowing the user to do their specific programing to meet the requirement of how they design to better operate the service.
- 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.
- After implementing Extrahop and started to use it as the main monitoring solution in my business organization, we improved a lot of work efficiency on operating complex IT solutions, reduced the incident record number, reduce the response time and speed up the root cause infestations, hence helped to save the cost for the business.
Actually Extrahop and Dynatrace they are quite similar, actually we have both of them being used in my business organization. I have found Extrahop had local technical support available in my city so made it a bit easy to communicate and seek for support if we met any problem in using the solution.
