Featured Reviews

Vinal-Patel - PeerSpot reviewer
Network Architect, internally known as Network Transformation Lead at a pharma/biotech company with 10,001+ employees
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.
Michael-Foster - PeerSpot reviewer
Head of IT at Bulkhaul Limited
Has improved threat detection and reduced manual workload through real-time cloud insights
ThreatSync+ NDR has helped identify potential security gaps in my network, and we are currently working on resolving them. The impact on incident response time varies. During daytime operations, it reacts instantly with a notification delay of 10 to 20 minutes, while nighttime notifications can have up to eight hours delay. ThreatSync+ NDR has enhanced our ability to proactively manage network risks by enabling us to implement extra measures at a lower level based on its findings. The compliance reporting tools are comprehensive and meet our requirements. Though we haven't conducted official compliance reporting yet, we anticipate it will save approximately one day of work in report compilation. Regarding pricing, WatchGuard rates a nine out of ten. We maintain 1,001 licenses for ThreatSync+ NDR, serving approximately 1,000 users, with about 300 local users in the UK. ThreatSync+ NDR's effectiveness in identifying weaknesses before exploitation is excellent and very quick. I recommend ThreatSync+ NDR to other users based on its rapid deployment and immediate value delivery. I rate ThreatSync+ NDR 9 out of 10.

Pros

"The most valuable feature of OmniPeek is the ability to assign custom color codes to the different packets easily."
"It's a solid piece of software. It's stable."
"OmniPeek's ability to convert application visibility into flow helps me quickly understand application performance over LAN, WAN, or wireless."
"The most valuable feature of OmniPeek was the ability it gave us to see the connection procedure."
"I believe the most crucial feature of OmniPeek search is the ability to sniff packets based on channel switching."
"OmniPeek is a good product, but you should know its purpose for your organization."
"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 feature is OmniPeek is user-friendly."
"ThreatSync NDR is a strong addition to our company's security architecture."
"Implementing ThreatSync+ NDR has influenced our business significantly as it provides enhanced security and saves several hours daily by eliminating manual log reviews."
 

Cons

"The solution's automation has room for improvement."
"OmniPeek doesn't support Linux or Unix installations, which prompted the shift to Wireshark."
"Sometimes setting up the filters for the product is difficult, and I can't quickly sharpen them from the home screen."
"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."
"OmniPeek needs to improve its performance level."
"I don't see a clear roadmap in the future for improving this software."
"Centralized management of configurations needs improvement."
"I would like to see the tool work in an open environment the same as how it does in a closed environment."
"After using ThreatSync+ NDR for about a year, areas for improvement include the ability to pull logs from other vendors using an API."
"There are definitely areas for improvements in ThreatSync NDR, as no product is perfect. Its effectiveness depends on proper network visibility, so if important traffic segments are not mirrored or monitored, detection may be incomplete."
 

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."
