More IxChariot Pros →

"It's able to capture packets and, after a long time, you can come and use that information; to check, to analyze - everything you would want to do. So it's very good and helpful if you want to protect your data. It is stored in a certain place where you can access it every time you want to analyze it.""There are many valuable features, but understanding end-user response times stands out. It provides a score-based evaluation of user experience, helping customers quickly pinpoint whether issues originate from the network, server, client, or application. Additionally, it facilitates in-depth analysis of application dependencies.""I also have the ability to see an application's performance, to see what's going on, why a network is slow, why this program for this user is experiencing a delay or some network issue""The ability to capture packets. It is not only for monitoring. That is very important for a company that wants to keep an eye on the packets, the transactions, the flows...""This solution allows us to see exactly what is going on in the network and we can very quickly solve issues with users.""It can help to write your rules, organize firewalls, your block, and also your protocols and IP address to come in or out of your network."

Cons
"The graphical user interface needs to be improved."

More IxChariot Cons →

"Maybe the graphical user interface could be simplified to allow people to use it more easily. It's already good, but they can work more on it to make it even easier.""Graphics need improvement. Because a lot of the information there you have to input first in some case to have full potential. It could be more automated.""I would like to have more than 4TB of storage available in the portable version of this solution.""GigaStor feeds into Apex. So, the area where there could be improvement would be in artificial intelligence. For example, the incorporation of more advanced machine learning or AI capabilities could enhance its functionality."
