Fluke Networks Etherscope vs. Juniper Paragon Insights

We used ours mainly to test the wireless. Wireless could be several different things so the preconfigured tests on this device allowed us to quickly eliminate certain areas and allowed us to focus on the real problem. It’s easy enough a PC Technician could use it.

There are a lot of

such tools in the IT market but the advanced way of
providing and supporting a company’s network is unmatchable in the case of
Paragon. It has the capability to withhold big companies' networks as well. Its
integration, closed-loop automation, and network visibility are a few of the
nitty-gritty features that make it a perfect solution for our company and I
just hope that it won't disappoint anybody that has chosen it and prioritized it
over other such tools. Less Appropriate: it is not so favorable for beginners because of the level of difficulty and less documentation.

We briefly tested a NetAlly LSPRNTR-300 LinkSprinter 300 Network Tester with WIFI and Distance to Cable Fault Indication and it was a worthy testing unit it but we quickly discovered that it did not offer the large range of testing in both the copper and fiber network drops, nor was it as complete with regard to wireless testing. But in it's defense it was not quite as pricy as the Fluke.

Paragon Insights was chosen as it was able to handle more products than the Cisco Nexus Dashboard. The second qualifying decision point was the level of integration Paragon Insights had over the Nexus Dashboard. Both products would service the need of the client, but Paragon was positioned to provide additional value and ease of use to the customer.
