Find out what your peers are saying about NetAlly, Wireshark, Auvik and others in Network Troubleshooting."It's a good tool. It's simple to do the configuration."
"It is easy to navigate."
"Discovery: Scheduled, on-demand, synchronized with eHealth."
"Spectrum is very useful for us, because the product lets us monitor and control all the various components of our infrastructure that support our business from an IT perspective."
"The quick notification of issues, quick alerting because timeliness is always valuable, it's very important for us."
"I can use it to detect whenever things go wrong on my network."
"The most valuable features have been the interface and the ability to do equipment management."
"The product’s stability and robustness are valuable."
"OneTouch is easy to set up. You just plug it in, enter your details, and off you go. It only takes a few minutes as long as you've got Link-Live access or network access."
"I have found the most valuable feature you can design your sniffer the way you want to."
"Wireshark helps us to understand network traffic."
"The most valuable feature is the traffic gate, which shows which IPs are getting more bandwidth or traffic."
"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 best part about Wireshark, in my opinion, is its ability to analyze packet capture files."
"The most valuable feature of Wireshark is the ability to choose a destination of flow that has not been working as expected."
"Wireshark's best features are that it lets us see what traffic is in the network and what data should be encrypted."
"The solution is easy to install and use."
"Technical support for this product is not so good. It needs improvement."
"A better integration with the UIM, as far as being able to do root cause analysis and that type of analytics."
"The GIS map feature needs to be enhanced and synced with topology views of containers and global collections."
"DX Spectrum needs to incorporate faster support."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to monitor the network shortly after installing the software and adding an auto-discovery function."
"If they could interact with the MIBs of vendors better, and have a lot more pre-loaded ones, that would be amazing for us right now."
"The platform is complicated to use."
"The upgrade process could be smoother. More of the steps around upgrading could be automated."
"It is also limited in the number of IP targets you can test. If you want to test how many hops or different sites, you should be able to hit a test button and say, "Right then, test these 20 IP addresses to see if I can reach them." It only does up to 10. Most of NetAlly's other devices, like the G2, can do unlimited addresses."
"Wireshark is similar to an OS defense tool, meaning that it runs on an OS such as Ubuntu and Fedora, but I'm unsure if it's compatible with Windows or if it's a straightforward process to run it on Windows. Right now, my team needs to run Wireshark from a dongle to use it, so it's an OS-dependable tool, and that's an area for improvement. I was unable to use Wireshark on Windows, and I couldn't capture it, as I'm unsure how to configure the wireless card into monitoring mode on Windows. The process was straightforward on Linux, but it wasn't the case on Windows OS. It seems Wireshark isn't compatible with all OS. For example, you can analyze the log, and you can analyze it on the Windows server, but you can't do a capture in Windows. Configuring Wireshark for Windows isn't as easy as configuring it for Linux."
"Wireshark's UI isn't easy to handle and doesn't have as nice a view as Omnipeek."
"The initial setup depends upon the basics. You need to have a clear understanding of the basics."
"It would be better if they offered a hybrid version like My Cloud Control."
"The system could be improved upon by adding a better and more powerful data processing engine."
"It is difficult to scale this solution."
"Wireshark could be improved with a delay option when getting data automatically."
"This product needs to improve the UI."
