IxChariot Review

• Active testing of network infrastructure.
• Central server with an easy-to-use GUI.
• Automatic test endpoints registration to central server.
• Predefined scenarios for real word traffic, including lots of VoIP types.

Automatization of multiple test scenarios is now only possible from the API.

Five years since version 7.

SW for endpoints can be installed on embedded HW. Our MIPS based HW was not compatible. This was solved by the vendor, who compiled new SW for our HW and OS.

Old versions have issues with UDP tests. UDP tests can overload the endpoint OS. I did not see any issues in new version.

No, but we have under 100 endpoints deployed.

• Nine out of 10
• Quick response
• Good technical knowledge
• Professional behavior

Previously, we used only passive monitoring, which is not the same.

Deploying template of IxChariot server on VMware is easy.

Deploying SW endpoints in different OS can be tricky. Usually due to the OS itself, not because of the product.

In-house.

You don't need a license for all the test endpoints in your network. Only for the simultaneously running tests (or endpoint pairs in test).
