Riverbed NPM vs. NetScout and ExtraHop

By capturing and analyzing packets with Riverbed AppResponse, OneMain Financial quickly pins slow performance to the network or application. The right team gets to work sooner, aiming to fix problems before users notice.

The combination of AppResponse and Packet Analyzer Plus makes it easy to find the precise set of packets I need to see if a performance problem starts with the network or the application. Richard Hurst, Supervisor of Network Services, OneMain Financial

Allianz, with more than 148,000 employees in 70+ countries, is the 31st largest company in the world, offering insurance and other services to 83 million clients. “Long page load times and slow application speeds affected our productivity,” says Neval Bircaner, IT Governance Supervisor for Allianz Turkey. “Whenever an application performance issue occurred, it was often difficult to pinpoint the root cause. It was hard to determine whether the application performance issues were due to the applications, the network, or our database. We were also interested in ensuring that our external partners were satisfied with our systems.”

It is now much easier to identify issues with the network or application themselves. In some cases, problems that took a long time to solve can now be fixed in minutes. Following the deployment of SteelCentral solutions, our customers have seen a significant improvement in performance. Riverbed has made a positive impact for us by helping us to considerably improve the customer experience. Neval Bircaner, IT Governance Supervisor, Allianz
