What Are Observability Gaps?
Observability Gaps Are Blind Spots in Your Business
More and more of the same data can't solve your observability challenges. That’s because MELT data alone isn’t enough to see what’s really in motion across your networks, clouds, and hybrid environments, often duplicating insights without really solving it.
NETSCOUT Smart Data delivers real-time packet-level visibility into actual service experiences, so you can align IT performance with business outcomes and go from reacting to resolving—before customers are affected.

What Makes NETSCOUT Different From Other Observability Providers?
Unmatched Depth and Accuracy. For Unparalleled Visibility.
NETSCOUT differentiates itself through its combination of deep packet inspection technology, unique Smart Data capabilities, and scalable architecture that delivers comprehensive and actionable insights across complex, hybrid environments. Typical observability providers have limited or no DPI at scale, examine only metrics, logs, and traces, and offer siloed visibility versus ecosystem-side coverage.
How does NETSCOUT Smart Data take my observability stack further, and what’s the value of seeing data from on-prem to public cloud, private cloud, data center, and remote sites?
NETSCOUT’s Smart Data uses deep packet inspection to bridge visibility across diverse, interconnected IT environments where legacy log- and metric-based solutions fall short in providing context, uniformity, and scale. By democratizing packet-level intelligence, teams gain seamless, borderless insight—ensuring all services and applications are monitored with the same fidelity regardless of location or platform.
What types of businesses rely on NETSCOUT Smart Data to enhance observability?
Businesses in a wide range of sectors—including service providers, large enterprises, financial services, healthcare, government, and retail—rely on NETSCOUT Smart Data to enhance observability across their critical digital infrastructure. In government and public sector, for example, NETSCOUT ensures that mission-critical applications, citizen services, and cyber defense across federal, state, and municipal infrastructures stay up and running. Retailers, meanwhile, depend on NETSCOUT for seamless omnichannel experiences, uptime, and real-time monitoring of point-of-sale and online platforms.
How does NETSCOUT Smart Data enhance observability to support remote and hybrid work?
With remote and hybrid workforces increasingly standard, maintaining high-quality digital experiences is critical for employee satisfaction and operational efficiency. NETSCOUT Smart Data enhances observability to support remote and hybrid work by providing end-to-end, real-time visibility into remote site network and application performance, enabling IT teams to quickly detect, troubleshoot, and resolve issues that impact remote employees’ digital experiences. By analyzing packet-level data in real time, IT can identify root causes of bottlenecks, latency, or outages at remote locations before they affect productivity.
What are the differentiators that set NETSCOUT Smart Data apart in enhancing observability to support security use cases?
NETSCOUT Smart Data sets itself apart in enhancing observability to support security use cases through several unique differentiators centered on the quality, scale, and depth of the data it produces from network traffic. These include deep packet inspection at scale, Adaptive Service Intelligence (ASI), broad ecosystem coverage and borderless visibility, the ability to feed security analytics platforms with clean, curated, enriched data, and a unified platform that allows for collaboration across NetOps and SecOps from a common data source and interface.
