TruView lets you be your Network "Big brother"
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Visual TruView to monitor the applications, VoIP, and general performance of our network. It provides the needed visibility to address any possible problem before it spreads into other services and or locations across our complex corporate network. Since we started using TruView, the identification and solution of networking problems decreased by 70%. Being able to visualize the traffic and or availability of our physical and virtual resources made our job more effective than ever.
Pros
- Ample visualization of the corporate network performance, making the identification and resolution of net problems easier
- Works flawlessly with our virtual and cloud-based services, showing us who is consuming more resources.
- Helps to identify threatening traffic patterns faster than our previous solution.
Cons
- Product features are sometimes overwhelming if the IT team is not used to this technology. For a small and mid-size company, the number of settings and work that is needed to implement the solution could be a long and exhausting process.
- A "lite" version of Visual TruView could help a lot to small sized environments looking to develop the solution.
- I would like to add some mitigation tools for simple/common problems that could be easily managed by a monitoring tool like Netscout TruView.
