"Deep Packet Visibility, but an Outdated, Hard-to-Navigate UI"

3.5/5

What do you like best about NETSCOUT Network & Application Observability?

What I like most about NETSCOUT is that it doesn’t make guesses, unlike other observability tools that infer what’s happening from sampled data and logs. Instead, it uses deep packet inspection to capture and analyze the actual traffic in real time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NETSCOUT Network & Application Observability?

The UI feels outdated, and if someone isn’t a seasoned network engineer with deep packet experience, navigating the dashboard can be overwhelming. Finding a specific metric often requires digging through multiple layers of menus, which makes it harder than it should be to get to the information you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is NETSCOUT Network & Application Observability solving and how is that benefiting you?

NETSCOUT addresses the massive problem of blind spots in hybrid networks.

In the past, when an application crashed, the cloud team blamed the network team, the network team blamed the internet provider, and we lost hours to finger-pointing. NETSCOUT changes that by capturing raw packet data across the entire infrastructure on-premise data centers, private clouds, and public clouds like AWS or Azure so we have a single, undeniable source of truth.

This improves my workflow in three major ways. First, it enables instant root-cause analysis: instead of digging through conflicting logs and opinions, the tool quickly pinpoints whether the issue is a broken link, a bad server, or misconfigured application code. Second, it drives a major reduction in downtime: resolving critical outages takes minutes instead of hours, which saves the company thousands of dollars per incident. Third, it supports proactive threat detection: because it monitors traffic at the packet level, it can flag unusual data spikes or potential security threats before they escalate into an actual system crash.

"Deep End-to-End Visibility That Speeds Up Troubleshooting"

4/5

What do you like best about NETSCOUT Network & Application Observability?

What I like most about NETSCOUT Network & Application Observability is its ability to provide deep end-to-end visibility across both network and application performance from a single platform. It makes troubleshooting much faster by pinpointing the root cause of issues instead of spending hours checking multiple monitoring tools.

What do you dislike about NETSCOUT Network & Application Observability?

One area that could be improved is the user interface, as some advanced features require multiple navigation steps and can feel overwhelming for new users. The initial setup and configuration also have a learning curve, especially in large enterprise environments. Report customization could be more flexible, and dashboard performance may slow down when handling very large datasets. Additionally, expanding native integrations with more third-party monitoring and cloud platforms would make the solution even more versatile. While these limitations do not affect its core monitoring capabilities, addressing them would improve usability and reduce the time required for onboarding and day-to-day operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is NETSCOUT Network & Application Observability solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before implementing NETSCOUT Network & Application Observability, identifying the root cause of application slowdowns and network issues often required checking multiple monitoring tools and involved lengthy troubleshooting.
