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.

Exinda was a good balance between cost and capability. We replaced an aging Packetshaper infrastructure with Exinda

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.

• Real time insight to network issues whether security related or not.
• Great reporting features for executives.
