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 ( /products/liveaction-livenx-reviews ), 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.

Cons

"I would like to see the saving feature improved. We have had issues if you do not save your progress then you have to start from the beginning."

"Making it more clear on how to configure the filters, or really automating them, would be an improvement."
