Great visibility into network traffic
What do you like best about the product?
I most like the granularity with which we can see and identify traffic patterns. It allows us visibility into the types of traffic on our network and where the traffic is going.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a bit of a learning curve when trying to do some more complex filtering, using scripting to aid in that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We recently replaced our previous network traffic analysis vendor for ExtraHop because of the additional insight into East-West traffic, helping to understand the "soft underbelly" a bit better.

Network Detection Response with RevealX
What do you like best about the product?
Good use of network data to provide info on a given IP. Is it a AD server or endpoint, what protocols is it using.
A strong set of "out of the box" Security alerts with little to no configuration. Machine learning or deviation from normal alerts + threat specific alerts like "cobalt-strike"
Realtime analysis of network data such as DNS requests without storing all the DNS data

What do you dislike about the product?
RevealX security detections are usually correct but still point to some legitimate network traffic. There high threat detections like "DNS C2 channel" are effective but there is still work to be done. Especially at the lower end of there threat score modeling.
These low threat alerts are more like "notable behavior" and they provide great info when investigating an end point but there not worth the analyst time to investigate each one individually. I would like to see more intelligence in there detection algorithms, whereby and endpoint with 4 or 5 suspicious behaviors would score higher then an endpoint with 2. Extrahop needs to work on presenting there alert data in a more meaningful way and reduce the signal to noise ratio.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visibility is always a good thing of course but from a security point of view RevealX fills in the gaps that our EDR cannot. If our EDR is bypassed or compromised which is often the case in dev environments we still catch threats like "connection's to an internet DB" or "inbound RDP connections from the internet"
Taking a peak behind the curtain
What do you like best about the product?
- Network insight and threat intelligence analysis. With all the threats that can and will occur in your datacenter, ExtraHop give you extra auditing and insight into traffic within your datacenter (or cloud) walls.
- The GUI and it's interfacing is fairly intuitive. I am constantly impressed with the search functions and capabilities. Beyond just searching IPs, you can drill down by AD accounts, ports/protocols, or even services. That is all out of the box and does not include the customizable nature of your data sets to allow for more granular insight into your high priority apps.
- In addressing my second dislike below: ExtraHop has done a great job of addressing this by providing a ton of hands on training, on-line training, personal email responses, and a growing youtube channel to help users understand and grow the tool.

What do you dislike about the product?
Set up the initial ExtraHop installation early in 2020. It was not a simple task to get up and running, but well worth it once everything is collecting data and providing insight.
There is also a learning curve in using ExtraHop. It is not like your typical tools that see traffic on the wire.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use ExtraHop in my day-to-day business. From finding the break down in new installation to identifying choke-points in your compute stack to threat hunting and analysis, this is a multi-discipline tool that can be used for anything you need insight on.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I was a bit skeptical in my initial POC for ExtraHop as I was familiar with and comfortable using some of their near competitors tools and capabilities. The support that I received during the POC and their ability to help me start to put a clearer picture of our network and its performance I become more comfortable with the tool.
Great equipment & local Support
What do you like best about the product?
the easy interface & the support from the team
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing that I can think, everything has been great
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The accuracy of the reports & the way the report was created for our local team
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend extrahop, now they are shifting to a more security model
Great tool for watching your network
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to use, there is near zero learning curve as long as the user have some very basic network knowledge for basic functions.
Easy filter based on domain, IP, and different network protocols and connection types.

What do you dislike about the product?
Not much at this moment but I am not an advanced user of the system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Realtime check and verification about connections.
Traffic pattern alert.
Application/network load monitoring.

A Network Time Machine and Protocol Guru
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite feature is the packet capture and storage. I can go back within a day and look at any packet that ExtraHop saw based on time and IP address searches. This has allowed me to lower my troubleshooting time by not having to wait for something to happen again and hope that I catch it.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing of the infrastructure required in terms of taps to get all of the packets to the system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our teams have used ExtraHop to solve a multitude of problems. The network team uses it to analyze packets and troubleshooting. The HL7 team is using it to analyze the records that are already flowing across the network for healthcare related fields.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The tool is good, but sometimes sales oversell capabilities. Make sure that you understand the technical of what is possible.
Perfect tool to monitor on wire traffic
What do you like best about the product?
Capture the real time network packets and split into metrics, and records. No agent installation is required.
Extra hop Team's sets an example for great coordination and team work. We are really impressed with the way support, service, sales and training stays in sync, and provides great focus to its clients.

What do you dislike about the product?
The tools needs to lots of configuration and console presented too much details. One have to have in depth knowledge of environment and network protocols. But they does provides great documentations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are monitoring tier 1 applications. Extrahop has provided live diagnosis and troubleshooting for existing issues.
A very good tool to help you out for end to end IT service's health monitoring and trouble shooting
What do you like best about the product?
The capability of deep dive into any OSI Layer's protocol to match your pre-configured triggers for abnormal network pattern and potential issue and generate alarms and report for you to quick action.
What do you dislike about the product?
Basically from technical perspective I don't see any weakness however not sure if the cost is high or not as I'm just a user and not the business owner in my organization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've been using extrahop for a couple of years to monitor the network and application performance of our offshore call center's VPN and Citrix/VDI solutions, giving me the best solution to quick respond to any network and application performance degrade and trouble shoot the issue in protocol/transaction layer.
