"The most valuable feature of Alluvio AppResponse is the actual response time for measuring performance."
"Packet-capture files can be hard to use due to their size. Wireshark has a tool called tshark that can parse the files with out opening them so that you can take large captures, say 2-10GB, and return only relevant information."
"I use the filters very often, to determine what type of traffic I am looking for. The use of filter allows traffic to be segmented so that a value can be looked at individually apart from the other traffic."
"It gives us the ability to pinpoint problems and to communicate network problems with software and hardware vendors."
"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 GUI is easy to use."
"Wireshark has a lot of features. It's a powerful tool if you're familiar with it. You can see everything on the network with it."

"Integration between NPM and APM solutions would improve efficiency. There is no agent on the server site related to AppResponse."
"The pricing is on the higher side of things. If they could lower it, that would be ideal."
"Technical support needs to be more responsive."
"Alluvio AppResponse should improve its ability to expand across multiple operating systems."
"Need to bring back the NetFlow module for AppResponse."
"The initial setup is straightforward, but you have to know a little about the product. It's not for everybody to just plug and play. If you know how the solution is implemented then it is straightforward."
"I would like to see Wireshark improve the ease of application of the command. The command is very powerful, but not easy to apply."
"I would like better control of bandwidth from the service provider."
"This product needs to improve the UI."
"The initial setup depends upon the basics. You need to have a clear understanding of the basics."
"The decryption of encrypted packets could be better."
"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 is restricted when any sort of encryption is involved, such as XSL encryption or DLX."
"We'd like to be able to extract the output into an Excel table."
