Gigamon wins Frost & Sullivan award for market leadership

Gigamon has been awarded the 2024 Best Practices Market Leadership Award by Frost & Sullivan in the Global Network Packet Brokers Industry.

The recognition was based on Gigamon's performance across multiple criteria, including growth strategy, product quality, customer purchase experience, and implementation excellence. Gigamon holds a 30 percent share of the network packet brokers (NPB) market.

As businesses increasingly move towards hybrid multi-cloud environments, the needs for network visibility are expanding beyond traditional NPB capabilities. The demand for solutions offering deep observability into virtual, container, and cloud workloads is driving growth in this segment. Gigamon is notable in this area with a 61 percent market share of the deep observability market, combining this with their NPB market leadership to provide comprehensive solutions for physical and hybrid cloud environments.

"Within the complex hybrid cloud landscape, Gigamon stands out as a leader in deep observability solutions and continues to demonstrate the unmatched value of its historical NPB offerings," said Manuel Albornoz, Best Practices Research Analyst at Frost & Sullivan. "Gigamon continues to strategically broaden its product portfolio, anticipating and meeting its global customer base's need to secure and manage hybrid cloud infrastructure."

Waddaah Keirbeck, Global Chief Technology Officer at Corpay, commented on the importance of Gigamon's capabilities, stating: "We built our hybrid cloud utilizing AWS and Azure, and multi-cloud visibility is extremely important to us. Gigamon allows us to understand our traffic, understand our potential threat, and also give us the ability to be proactive with any threat intelligence we get."

The Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline is designed to deliver network-derived insights to cloud, security, and observability tools, which aims to help organisations eliminate security blind spots, optimise network traffic, and reduce tool costs. This functionality aids in faster troubleshooting, uncovering hidden threats, identifying regulatory compliance gaps, and reducing complexity in managing hybrid cloud infrastructure.

According to Frost & Sullivan, "Gigamon sets the standard in the market by providing unmatched visibility into complex hybrid cloud environments."

Frost & Sullivan's Best Practices awards recognise companies showing exceptional achievement and performance in leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development.
