We performed a comparison between Broadcom Network Flow Analysis and Wireshark based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Troubleshooting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This solution has helped our organization by allowing us to have visibility. We deal with cybersecurity, so visibility is very important."
"It is an overall stable solution."
"The session-level filtering features are valuable."
"Wireshark's best features are that it lets us see what traffic is in the network and what data should be encrypted."
"It gives us the ability to pinpoint problems and to communicate network problems with software and hardware vendors."
"The GUI is easy to use."
"The transmission and reception issues are valuable."
"I can save the traffic and analysis when I want to. Also, it's especially helpful to follow the stream (TCP, UDP, etc.)."
"Wireshark helps us to understand network traffic."
"The most valuable feature of Wireshark is the ability to choose a destination of flow that has not been working as expected."
"Currently, Broadcom Network Flow Analysis does not support high-availability solutions, making it an area that needs improvement."
"I would like to see more security features, like a lost protection package."
"The solution has a steep learning curve. There are so many filters and features that are frequently being updated, it takes research, experience and familiarity to be able to use them. It could be a lot more user-friendly."
"Wireshark could make the filtering rules easier to apply and offer a drag-and-drop option as opposed to type and text."
"With Wireshark, you cannot download and utilize the packet in automation."
"Whenever we select one of the packets, in terms of the number of bytes, for example, there are three planes, and in the detailed plane, I have to count the number of bytes manually."
"It would be better if they offered a hybrid version like My Cloud Control."
"There is a disadvantage when it comes to sampling intervals. Additionally, I've heard from a colleague that Wireshark might be less effective in the voice domain."
"The only thing that I don't like is sometimes there is an update, and something that I was using is either no longer there or it has changed."
"Its user interface was a little less friendly. They can make its user interface a little bit more friendly. It is for technical people, and most of the technical people would be able to figure it out, but it would be good to improve its user interface. They can maybe build artificial intelligence into it. Currently, it takes a lot of manpower to analyze and dissect all the data."
