"Extrahop Reveal(x) 360: A must for network visibility"

Extrahop provides east-west network visibility and allows customization of rules, giving our security team deep packet inspection. Its packet capture feature is vital for network forensics. Extrahop should expand partnerships with threat researchers and vendors to enrich its intel feeds and databases for actionable intel on detections. Also, more API integrations with tools like Tanium/SCCM, PAN firewalls would be beneficial. Extrahop gives visibility into network traffic, aiding east-west segmentation. Reveal(x) 360 helps during investigations and enables one-click containment during incidents, greatly reducing response time.

"Single pane visibility into the unknown parts of the network"

Extrahop analyzes both on-prem and cloud traffic, detecting security anomalies at a scale I've never seen. It also provides detailed application performance visibility. I hope they'll develop proprietary agents for cloud nodes instead of using rpcapd, which can be unstable under high traffic. Extrahop exposed east-west traffic that shouldn't have been happening. We also had constant complaints about slow datawarehouse, always blaming the network. But with Extrahop, we pinpointed that the delay was at the database level, not the network. We couldn't have seen that otherwise.

"Network security monitoring"

ExtraHop provides valuable insight into network activities and alerts on anomalies that you can't get from log monitoring alone. The biggest issue is SIEM integration if there's no native connector; building it via JavaScript triggers isn't user-friendly. Second issue is threat feeds: we have a high-fidelity feed we'd like to add, but we have to resort to a clunky process of downloading, gzipping, and re-uploading. Native STIX/TAXII feed support would be great. Trigger complexity is also a downside—many security analysts can't easily write the needed JavaScript. It would be nice to have a block-based trigger builder, like a visual workflow. There are network activities that don't appear in logs; ExtraHop can perform threat and anomaly detection on endpoint and application communications that other tools miss. Packet capture setup isn't easy, but if you have the ETA, you get valuable packet data that can make a difference in incident investigations.

"Good product overall, but needs more flexibility"

Pros: seamless monitoring, simple and straightforward rule tuning, and good dashboard capabilities. Cons: many false positives, the machine learning model isn't flexible enough for our needs, and sometimes performance issues. It provides the detections needed to cover all perimeters.

"ExtraHop: Executive network monitoring tool"

With ExtraHop deployed, we now have real-time visibility and insights into network traffic and performance. It helps us troubleshoot, optimize, and secure the network. The platform is easy to use with an intuitive layout, enabling quick review of detections. ExtraHop delivered on its promises and provided excellent customer service. I use this tool daily to oversee network security. Deployment is as simple as connecting to the network and mirroring traffic to the device, giving quick visibility into overall network health. It can be costly to deploy, generate many false positives, and has limited integrations. ExtraHop helps us monitor security, identify bottlenecks, and improve overall performance and hygiene.

"You get what you pay for"

We've tested ExtraHop with reputable third-party pentesters, both manual and automated, and compared it to other products. The difference between knowing you're compromised and not knowing is immense. How can you choose a cheaper product if it misses compromise? How can you sleep at night knowing you've done everything to protect your network? ExtraHop's visibility is far superior. It's pricey, so if you mistakenly believe backups, firewalls, and antivirus are enough, you won't understand the cost. It has mainly prevented our company from a ransomware event. We have dedicated staff monitoring it around the clock, chasing alerts 24/7/365.

"ExtraHop offers clear visibility to address performance and security issues quickly"

ExtraHop provides excellent visibility for performance and security issues in our environment. Many detections, dashboards, and device groups serve as great starting points for learning. Building custom dashboards and detections is straightforward. We rely on ExtraHop daily to resolve problems. The support and partnership we have with ExtraHop has been crucial to our success. You need to understand your environment from network to application layers. ExtraHop offers many options, but you must decide what's best for your setup. Proper implementation takes time, but it's worth it. ExtraHop has helped us solve authentication, storage, server, network performance, security, and application issues. We had many blind spots, and ExtraHop has given us visibility into many services.

"RevealX from a daily user's perspective"

Overall, RevealX is user-friendly and offers excellent network visibility. ExtraHop's documentation is thorough, and if you need more, support and training teams are always responsive—I've had quick answers to my questions. The training team keeps users engaged even in virtual sessions. The product is highly customizable, which suits unique use cases. I use RevealX almost daily. My top pros technically are: enhanced network visibility, customization without needing to learn a new language, and low entry barrier for analysts new to networking/security. My top cons: adjusting baselines completely resets them, requiring 3-4 weeks to recalculate; there's no 'lookback' search for detections, so I can't test new detection logic against historical data; and some customization areas need better integration with other features. ExtraHop has given us better visibility, leading to configuration changes on hardware and network devices to reduce attack surface.

"All-in-one network detection and alerting, simple and clear"

I appreciate that ExtraHop presents alerts in a very followable way. It provides the risk level, shows metrics, breaks down incident records, displays involved packets, and even offers a pcap for further analysis in WireShark. It also lists MITRE techniques and mitigation steps. I've found few downsides. It's not automated to block attacks in real-time, but it sends email alerts so I can start investigating immediately, leading to faster mitigations. As an ISP, network security is critical. ExtraHop helps us see attacks in real-time, allowing quick troubleshooting and mitigation. We can isolate traffic swiftly when problems arise.

"Thorough insight into all network activity"

The standout aspect of ExtraHop for me is its capacity to oversee and examine every bit of traffic traversing the network. Typically, organizations rely on endpoint protections like EDR, but network security is usually just firewalls with IDS/IPS rules. ExtraHop shines by providing complete network visibility—it maps assets, learns traffic patterns, spots anomalies, and gives Security Operations teams a clear view of network events. Deployment is straightforward, whether on physical appliances or virtual ones in the cloud. The Customer Success team is highly knowledgeable and offers excellent support. One feature I'd love to see added, though it's not a complaint, is native prevention capabilities. Currently, it's great at detecting suspicious activity, but prevention requires integration with other tools. During penetration tests, ExtraHop is always the first to catch the activity. Even when testers try to stay stealthy during early reconnaissance using legitimate tools, ExtraHop quickly identifies unusual behavior on the network host, even if it's not a managed device. The SOC can then inspect the traffic and take action to isolate the suspicious device.
