Rating: 9 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
LiveAction's LiveNX product takes the mystery out of your network by assessing your code against best practices, security recommendations, etc. However, this is not where the product functionality ends. The product takes a step by step look at your traffic, via netflow export. The traffic is sampled throughout its flow through your network and makes QOS, route, and security recommendations that can be implemented automatically, or one at a time with a point and click.
Pros
- Network QOS Assessment, and recommendations, and point-and-click remediation
- Network L2/L3 Assessment, and recommendations, and point-and-click remediation
- Network Security Assessment, and recommendations, and point-and-click remediation
Cons
- Cost is VERY high for what this product does, but it's worth it if you do not have all of the expertise to prioritize your network properly
Likelihood to Recommend
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.
