Real-time analytics and alerts improve application performance and network operations
OmniPeek's ability to convert application visibility into flow helps me quickly understand application performance over LAN, WAN, or wireless. Its real-time analytics, integrated with LiveNX, allow me to monitor business-critical applications and set up alerts for application performance issues. This centralized dashboard and alert system is highly valuable for maintaining network operations.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I believe the most crucial feature of OmniPeek search is the ability to sniff packets based on channel switching."
"It's a solid piece of software. It's stable."
"OmniPeek is a good product, but you should know its purpose for your organization."
"OmniPeek's ability to convert application visibility into flow helps me quickly understand application performance over LAN, WAN, or wireless."
"This is a good product; I would recommend and encourage people to use it because it has helped me a lot in the field."
"The most valuable features are the voice bot, which checks the quality of service for voice, and the expert view that gives me insight on what and where to troubleshoot."
"OmniPeek shows the entire packet flow and structure, particularly in security-related scenarios, whereas Wireshark sometimes fails to capture all packets."
"The most valuable feature of OmniPeek is the ability to assign custom color codes to the different packets easily."
"Great reduction in resolution time: proactive identification of errors before users send incidents."
"Nudge APM helps my organization to meet all SLA requirements, thanks to alert triggers."
"Performance management is a shared concern and APM tools must be used by all people involved in the build and run process."
"Gives us clear information on what is going wrong and where we need to focus to improve our applications, with real added value in our IT internal and external organization as we open Nudge APM dashboard to our outsourced suppliers."
 

Cons

"Centralized management of configurations needs improvement."
"The solution's automation has room for improvement."
"I am not using OmniPeek for automation, we only do manual testing. Automation testing is tedious to do. The automation should be more user-friendly. I have exposed some APIs but the usage is not user-friendly."
"Sometimes setting up the filters for the product is difficult, and I can't quickly sharpen them from the home screen."
"I don't see a clear roadmap in the future for improving this software."
"OmniPeek needs to improve its performance level."
"OmniPeek doesn't support Linux or Unix installations, which prompted the shift to Wireshark."
"I would like to see the tool work in an open environment the same as how it does in a closed environment."
"There is room for improvement on the portal to access the collected data, but it has already been enhanced with great zooming features."
"No automatic alerting"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are different types of licenses available."
"We have only purchased the add-on once and have not paid for any subsequent versions as it was too costly for us."
"The pricing for this solution could be improved, as it is a very expensive product."
