ClearSight Analyzer vs Wireshark comparison

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

"I use the filters very often, to determine what type of traffic I am looking for. The use of filter allows traffic to be segmented so that a value can be looked at individually apart from the other traffic."

"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 filter option provided by Wireshark is its most valuable feature...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"It's easy to troubleshoot issues because there's a large online community."

"Wireshark's best feature is that it's adaptive, which means it's the go-to tool for network-related developers."

"I find Wireshark a very useful tool. Its best feature is that it allows me to deeply understand what's going on at the packet level, as well as any adverse signatures that I can analyze. When I need to create an IPS rule, I need to check the traffic deeply to get more insights about the actual traffic, what's the name of certain flags, etc., and I'm able to do all that through Wireshark. The tool is also user-friendly."

"The product is simple to implement."

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

"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."

"Wireshark is restricted when any sort of encryption is involved, such as XSL encryption or DLX."

"Big trace files (more than 1,000,000 packets) can be slow, but then you can use "TraceWrangler" (also free) to help with slicing and dicing the data."

"The solution’s user interface could be improved."

"I wish the filters were a little bit more prepopulated."

"This product needs to improve the UI."

"A room for improvement in Wireshark is its ease of use for beginners. It could be better. Another room for improvement in the tool is for it to provide more details about the traffic load. At the moment, Wireshark is adequate for me, so there isn't anything I'd like added to it in its next version."

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

"Wireshark gets stuck when it is a larger file."

"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 is an open-source solution."

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

"The solution is open source so is free."

"This is an open-source product that can be used free of charge."

"Wireshark is free software, so you can download it and use it for free with no licensing fees."

"It is free."

"I've never personally had to pay for it, making it a highly valuable internet resource that's accessible for use. While they offer some paid versions, our firm has utilized the free version for the past three years."

"It's free."
