Likelihood to Recommend
ExtraHop is going to replace our packet capture and storage technology since it not only detects network security breaches but can also have sensors installed throughout our network to look at historical packet captures for analysis. ExtraHop is well suited for threat mitigation, network segmentation, and threat analysis of the network.

The product is best suited for performing assessments on your network infrastructure via data and voice over IP flows. Finding bandwidth hogs is also easy to do with the product (Similar to Plixer's Scrutinizer product), and permits point-and-click remediation of Quality of Service (QOS), layer2/3 transit problems, and security issues.

Pros
  • 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.

Can't really rate this, we never had to call support. The product wasn't complicated to setup and learn. We have a high level of network knowledge so the product was self-explanatory.

Alternatives Considered
A new and very useful ability of ExtraHop [Performance Platform] is the single tool for cloud forensics. Cloud incidents can easily be determined with the ability to implement responses along with assessments to easy the burden of reports. In comparison to Netscout, ExtraHop's user interface is more fluent and easier to maneuver.

Compared to ExtraHop it lacked the network analytics that compares data from an L2 up. We were able to track down rogue devices. certificates, a DNS attack, etc. that would have been a little hard to do in LiveAction. On the flip side, compared to PRTG, LiveAction has many more features that PRTG is lacking. The reporting, actions and visual analytics alone were better.
