Key learnings from peers
Last updated Mar 26, 2026

Valuable Features

  • "Gives us the ability to see our network."
  • "We are using this product to improve our view of what is happening with the packets."
  • "The packet capture feature is valuable when there's a troubleshooting issue, and since this is a data center, there are thousands of servers and users."

Room for Improvement

  • "I would like a built-in tap feature which doesn't interfere with the network, and it allows you to see what is happening there."
  • "The licensing cost needs to improve since it is very expensive, especially the licensing and maintenance costs."
  • "I had some problems generating reports."

Pricing

  • "Its price was a bit excessive. The device that I had died. It is under warranty, and they want $20,000 for another one. I just don't want to spend that kind of money, so I'm trying to find an alternate solution.They have annual maintenance on it, which probably was 10% a year, so it all starts to add up."

President at Bitwise Micro5.0No summary available
Information Technology Manager4.5I find this solution stable and easy to set up, letting me see my network and troubleshoot effectively. However, I wish it had a built-in tap feature and lower yearly maintenance costs for support.
Engineer at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees4.5I've used this stable and scalable product for three years to analyze packet loss, quickly resolving issues. Setup was straightforward, and I haven't needed support. It was a better fit than Wireshark, offering good value.
Senior Network Admin at a government with 10,001+ employees4.5I find this network discovery and troubleshooting tool very valuable, especially its portability and excellent support. Despite being heavy and having minor stability issues resolved by support, it's a reliable solution requiring careful setup attention.
Network Analyst at a transportation company with 10,001+ employees4.0I find this a good, simple tool for site surveys with straightforward setup. Although I had trouble generating reports and haven't fully explored advanced features due to time, it has experienced no scalability issues.
Network Analyst at a pharma/biotech company with 10,001+ employees4.5I value its packet capture and performance analysis, finding setup easy and customer service great. However, the solution's very high licensing and maintenance costs are a significant drawback, too expensive to maintain yearly.
IT Manager/Director at a hospitality company with 1,001-5,000 employees5.0I find this "Swiss Army Knife" device invaluable for diverse network testing, and I accept its bulk for essential battery life. Customer service is excellent, and the vendor is responsive to my needs, like adding cellular support. I am highly satisfied.
Network Engineer at a tech consulting company with 10,001+ employees1.5I find the software valuable for site surveys and setup was easy. However, the hardware causes constant crashes, making it unusable and unscalable. Tech support blamed the weak tablet. Ensure your hardware can run it.
