Solution Like Swiss Army Knife **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Esat Yasar C. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 14, 2023 **What do you like best about GigaSMART?** We terminated all our web traffic coming from the internet on gigasmart as ssl; we were protected from possible SSL attacks by sending the clean traffic to DDos and IPS devices for control of layer 7 attacks. **What do you dislike about GigaSMART?** We experienced performance problems after a certain period of time, depending on the size of the traffic. we have seen retransmission packets especially at TCP level. At this point, we provided a workaround solution by fast rebooting the device. Afterwards, we solved this problem with the patch pass. **What problems is GigaSMART solving and how is that benefiting you?** Protect our infrastructure and web applications from SSL attacks ### 3.

There is a serious gap, especially considering what the device can do. **Recommendations to others considering GigaSMART:** As attacks over SSL increase, the importance of SSL encryption/decryption systems will increase. Gigamon is more advantageous than its competitors **What problems is GigaSMART solving and how is that benefiting you?** We installed SSL Visibility Farm using Gigamon. Thanks to this structure, Layer 7 has increased our resistance to attacks. ## GigaSMART Discussions - [What is GigaSMART used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-gigasmart-used-for) - [View GigaSMART pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/gigasmart/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-13+12%3A46%3A20+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=1777435e-2b5e-4787-a853-2f8ba828318b&secure%5Btoken%5D=2bad42417b404ba8c14a551ecd45aa98696d86c6d8199a7955d26b1f8903ff30&format=llm_user) ## GigaSMART Features **Management** - Network Automation - Network Traffic Analyzer - User Provisioning - Network Analytics - Resource Maintenance **Monitoring** - Network Monitoring - Network Discovery - Network Asset Mapping **Support** - Real-time alerting - Hybrid Infrastructure Support - API Integration **Agentic AI - Network Management Tools** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making ## Top GigaSMART Alternatives - [SolarWinds Observability](https://www.g2.com/products/solarwinds-worldwide-llc-solarwinds-observability/reviews) - 4.3/5.0 (793 reviews) - [Check Point Next Generation Firewalls (NGFWs)](https://www.g2.com/products/check-point-next-generation-firewalls-ngfws/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (499 reviews) - [Site24x7](https://www.g2.com/products/site24x7/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (421 reviews)
