"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"What ClearSight will do is it actually maps out the conversation for you."
"Setup is very easy. It's also possible to change source code and compile if you want to change something in the code, because it's free."
"The ability to decrypt traffic and the abundance of filters available are both valuable features."
"The strongest feature of this solution, is the ability it gives us to carry out deep-packet inspections on our network, particularly when a function isn't performing as it should."
"The drill-down available for packet analysis is great. It gives a network security engineer insight into what is going on at the packet level and enables better troubleshooting."
"If you're dealing with troubleshooting network, voice issues, or network operations, having a tool like Wireshark to dive into packet details is important. The initial setup is straightforward. Anyone starting out or looking to deploy it on your personal PC or machine can do it easily."
"The most valuable feature is the traffic gate, which shows which IPs are getting more bandwidth or traffic."
"The solution is easy to install and use."
"The product is simple to implement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I would like to see a multi-user version where you can have a launch platform and, potentially, instead of buying six licenses you buy 12 seats or something like that."
"We'd like to be able to extract the output into an Excel table."
"It is not an easy program. You will need to study to use it to its full capabilities (follow a course)."
"Wireshark could be improved by adding more monitoring features."
"Big trace files (more than 1,000,000 packets) can be slow, but then you can use "TraceWrangler" (also free) to help with slicing and dicing the data."
"The decryption of encrypted packets could be better."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"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."
"A room for improvement in Wireshark is its ease of use for beginners. It could be better. Another room for improvement in the tool is for it to provide more details about the traffic load. At the moment, Wireshark is adequate for me, so there isn't anything I'd like added to it in its next version."
