Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The pricing is relatively low compared to other solutions in this area. I'd go so far as to say it's even significantly less than the competition.""The most valuable feature is the fault management monitoring."

More CA Application Delivery Analysis [EOL] Pros →

"The ability to decrypt traffic and the abundance of filters available are both valuable features.""The transmission and reception issues are valuable.""You can use Wireshark to see the traffic packet format, the IP layers, the fields, and the enabled flags.""The best part about Wireshark, in my opinion, is its ability to analyze packet capture files.""The product is simple to implement.""It has a good syntax to put the commands in and get information out of.""Wireshark's best feature is that it's adaptive, which means it's the go-to tool for network-related developers.""The most valuable feature is the traffic gate, which shows which IPs are getting more bandwidth or traffic."

Cons
"My biggest complaint about ADA is that you have to rely on dedicated appliances.""The user interface needs improvement."

More CA Application Delivery Analysis [EOL] Cons →

"I would like better control of bandwidth from the service provider.""Wireshark could make the filtering rules easier to apply and offer a drag-and-drop option as opposed to type and text.""I would like to see Wireshark improve the ease of application of the command. The command is very powerful, but not easy to apply.""The Wireshark search function shows green for a correct search and red for an incorrect search. If there were a way to provide a description about what a search - and the similar ones which are available - can do, while a person is typing it, it would make the product easier to use and simultaneously decrease the learning curve.""Wireshark gets stuck when it is a larger file.""Wireshark is similar to an OS defense tool, meaning that it runs on an OS such as Ubuntu and Fedora, but I'm unsure if it's compatible with Windows or if it's a straightforward process to run it on Windows. Right now, my team needs to run Wireshark from a dongle to use it, so it's an OS-dependable tool, and that's an area for improvement. I was unable to use Wireshark on Windows, and I couldn't capture it, as I'm unsure how to configure the wireless card into monitoring mode on Windows. The process was straightforward on Linux, but it wasn't the case on Windows OS. It seems Wireshark isn't compatible with all OS. For example, you can analyze the log, and you can analyze it on the Windows server, but you can't do a capture in Windows. Configuring Wireshark for Windows isn't as easy as configuring it for Linux.""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.""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."

    Top Answer:I wish the filters were a little bit more prepopulated. It would have been easy to hit a drop-down and select a filter. If I only wanted to look at DCP, UDP, or IP, it would be easy to filter it out… more »
