"Unbeatable DDoS Protection and Total Visibility in Complex Environments"

5/5

What do you like best about NETSCOUT Network Security?

NETSCOUT offers market-leading DDoS protection and complete network visibility, ensuring that legitimate traffic continues to flow even under attack.

Its technology transforms network packets into real-time intelligence, allowing the detection of advanced threats and the resolution of performance issues in hybrid and multicloud environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NETSCOUT Network Security?

The main disadvantages are the high cost of acquisition and licensing, which can be prohibitive for smaller companies, and the complexity of configuration, requiring a specialized team to operate the tool.

Additionally, the focus on packet analysis can be limited by end-to-end encryption (TLS 1.3), requiring more complex architectures to maintain full visibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It provides great visibility for anything going on in the network. I've used it often in my career"

4.5/5

What do you like best about NETSCOUT Network Security?

I believe network telemetry is paramount when digging into what happened and try to understand how an incident may have become reality. Netscout has a long time being known for understanding network data, so it is easy to bridge the gap between network and security teams Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NETSCOUT Network Security?

I think the endpoint is not an area of interest for Netscout. I understand it is not downplayed, just not an area of focus. especially understanding connectivity from the endpoint that can be encrypted and some of it cannot be decrypted for analysis Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is NETSCOUT Network Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

As said before, telemetry is important for all the network related issues. I was impressed about the feature Chat DPI. I believe that can be a game changer for digging faster into what has happened. Dashboards are also a great tool to play with, so we can present graphics to better take decisions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
