Juniper Paragon Insights vs. VMware Skyline

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.

Well suited to analyze DDoS attacks on my application. This helped me to gain visibility into the traffic. Enhanced reactive and proactive support, Privacy and Security, Dashboard view, Inventory, Proactive findings, Skyline log assist, Upgrade recommendations & Operational Summary Report (OSR). Its Holistic view and Integrated reporting also helps a lot.

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.

I've used other products such as VMAN and such yet Skyline is different. This is not aimed at your virtual machine's internal usage but at the VMware / Hypervisor level. This looks and monitors at hardware drivers, VMtools versions, and VM hardware versions. If you have Horizon it will look at versions and current vs minimum driver versions.

• The KPI shown in the dashboards has assisted in business devices.
• The playbooks with user- or event-triggered actions has reduced manhours.
• The automated workflow has reduced outages due to human error.

Incentivized

• VMware Skyline has no cost except for the small footprint the appliance VM uses.
• Zero cap cost, unlimited returns. WIN WIN!
