Simplifies troubleshooting and helps to avoid encryption of multiple layers
What is our primary use case?
We use the solution for traffic grouping and SSL detection.
What is most valuable?
The tool's most valuable feature is the encryption feature. From a security perspective, the solution hasn't significantly strengthened our security posture. However, it has greatly improved performance by streamlining encryption processes and avoiding encryption at multiple layers. This has also simplified troubleshooting, as we can whitelist certain processes.
The traffic aggregation and transformation feature has significantly impacted our analysis process. The tool helps us investigate our network packet capture. Data aggregation occurs at the network packet capture level, enabling thorough investigation. However, the tool lacks intelligence in providing visibility or traffic flow analysis. Instead, we use other tools to enhance our visibility and analysis based on the captured data.
What needs improvement?
The Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline should have a feature showing the traffic flow within its platform. Currently, customers have to use separate tools for monitoring, which is inconvenient. If it had its visibility feature, it would make monitoring easier and more complete without needing extra tools.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the product for three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The tool is stable, and I haven't encountered any issues. I rate it a nine out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Scalability depends on the specific hardware model deployed. In our case, we didn't encounter any scalability issues, and for virtualization, scalability was not a problem. Overall, I would rate the scalability of the Gigamon Deep Observability pipeline at around eight or nine out of ten, as it's straightforward to scale up in cloud environments by adding virtual machines.
On-premise deployments can have scalability challenges if the hardware is outdated or at the end of its lifecycle. Adding more capacity isn't always possible—you may need to replace or upgrade the hardware.
How are customer service and support?
Support from the product has not been very good. They outsource their support to third-party vendors, making receiving direct assistance difficult. Instead, we have to go through intermediaries, such as partners or vendors, which can be challenging and may not always provide satisfactory support.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
The tool's deployment is difficult. There are multiple dependencies, especially with certificates. It didn't support some certificates, so we had to upgrade them. Also, from a design perspective, the physical setup changed significantly. We needed more cables and connections, and it wasn't a simple plug-and-play process. Implementing the product required downtime, usually around four to eight hours, which needed careful planning. Overall, it wasn't straightforward but more on the tough side. Understanding the current design, planning, and implementation took almost two months for us.
What about the implementation team?
Two resources from our side were involved in deploying the product, and two resources from the third-party vendor were working on the deployment. The entire process, from planning to implementation, took two to three months. This duration included planning, designing, obtaining change approvals, and making necessary network changes.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I would rate the solution as expensive, around an eight or nine out of ten. There are other competitive solutions available.
What other advice do I have?
Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline has not significantly improved network visibility because it functions primarily as a packet broker. It does not provide visibility directly but instead requires integration with third-party tools to get the visibility.
Overall, it's a good solution, but there's room for improvement, particularly in configuration competency and data visibility. Currently, there's a lack of data visibility directly from the appliance itself, which needs to be addressed. I rate it an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Provides visibility and is helpful for network optimization and security inspection
What is our primary use case?
The only scenario where I used Gigamon was to take out the SSL inspection from my firewall and leave this inspection to Gigamon.
What is most valuable?
It is a good product. It provides network visibility, which is important. Gigamon can bring some optimizations to my network. It is helpful for security inspection, and it makes my firewall work fast because my firewall doesn't have to do the inspection of the SSL connections, for example.
What needs improvement?
It only inspects a specific kind of traffic. There should be different kinds of use cases.
For how long have I used the solution?
I'm a systems engineer focused on Cisco, but I have Gigamon in my team. I don't have too much experience with this product, but I know this product.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have also worked with Darktrace. Darktrace is more dedicated to OT traffic, and Gigamon is for the traditional one. One is dedicated to IT solutions, and the other one is dedicated to OT solutions, but both of the solutions have network analytics.
What other advice do I have?
It's a good one. I would rate it an eight out of ten.

Powerful with good performance and a straightforward setup
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use the solution for mobile network monitoring. It's for traffic monitoring.
What is most valuable?
The performance has been good. It's a very powerful tool.
It offers straightforward integration.
It is stable.
The initial setup is pretty straightforward.
What needs improvement?
The graphical user interface could be improved. They need a more friendly GUI.
It does take time to order the hardware.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using the solution for five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable solution. We've never had issues. If they are very, very old (older than ten years), we've had some small issues. Those are at the end of their life. For the newer solutions, we almost never have issues.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I'm not dealing with the scaling. I don't scale up or down.
The solution is an interface for other tools. It's touched only by two engineers and maybe two to three people from operations. There isn't a big user base.
How are customer service and support?
We have an internal party for the support. We do not need Gigamon support.
How was the initial setup?
The setup is straightforward. It can take a while to order the hardware. However, the integration process is simple.
The deployment can take two to three months, including ordering the hardware and configuring the environment. It takes less time to configure the virtual environment. We have a bare metal setup.
The deployment varies from company to company. You need to understand the dimensions of the scope in order to get the right solution size. After the physical machine comes, it requires physical configurations and cabling, et cetera.
Depending on the organization and the size of the deployment, you may need a handful of people to set it up. A small team can manage the setup.
What about the implementation team?
We had a consultant that assisted with the setup process.
What was our ROI?
We have witnessed an ROI in terms of time and cost.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We did look into other solutions based on feedback from colleagues. However, I did not try them.
What other advice do I have?
The version of the solution we are using varies. There are two types of environments. One for smart engines and one for a more basic model.
This solution will make the team's life easier. I'd rate it nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
