ClearSight Analyzer vs Wireshark comparison

"What ClearSight will do is it actually maps out the conversation for you."

"It helps in analyzing if something looks suspicious, such as a brute force attack or scanning from somewhere."

"The drill-down available for packet analysis is great. It gives a network security engineer insight into what is going on at the packet level and enables better troubleshooting."

"Wireshark saves a lot of time, especially with network troubleshooting."

"What's best about Wireshark is that it doesn't require installation. It supports cards and monitoring permissions and is sufficient for appending and capturing activities. You won't need to install other tools to use Wireshark, so this saves you time. You can capture packets at any time from your laptop through Wireshark."

"The strongest feature of this solution, is the ability it gives us to carry out deep-packet inspections on our network, particularly when a function isn't performing as it should."

"You can use Wireshark to see the traffic packet format, the IP layers, the fields, and the enabled flags."

"I like the filtering feature as we can filter data easily. This feature is also available in tcpdump, but it's a simple piece of software. Wireshark is more advanced and has many features. It allows you to filter a lot of things. The output can be filtered easily. The most important feature is colorization. If I say, "Okay, this particular SMB protocol in red, it will show me red." It's easy to identify that protocol or capture data."

"The solution is easy to install and use."

"I would like to see a multi-user version where you can have a launch platform and, potentially, instead of buying six licenses you buy 12 seats or something like that."

"It would be better if they offered a hybrid version like My Cloud Control."

"You need good network connectivity to download during the setup, otherwise, it might take a while."

"There is a disadvantage when it comes to sampling intervals. Additionally, I've heard from a colleague that Wireshark might be less effective in the voice domain."

"Sometimes I need to use tcpdump when I need to check the packets on CLI."

"Wireshark could make the filtering rules easier to apply and offer a drag-and-drop option as opposed to type and text."

"The product is great but I wish there were more of an emphasis on the command line tools."

"Wireshark's UI isn't easy to handle and doesn't have as nice a view as Omnipeek."

"I have not used Wireshark to an advanced point where I could provide a detailed opinion on improvements needed."

"It was pretty modest because you could get it in different ways. I think the six licenses, at that time, were about $1,000 each. But then again, I work for a school and educators tend to get discounts on things. So maybe it cost us about five or six hundred a copy."

"It's free."

"It is free."

"The solution is open source so is free."

"It is free to download and install. It runs on multiple platforms, so how can you go wrong?"

"It is an open-source solution."

"We're using the free version of Wireshark."

"Wireshark is open source and gives great value and functionality to the network investigation."

"The tool is free."
