Pros
"Implementing IxChariot is very easy and user-friendly."

More IxChariot Pros →

"It is a very valuable tool. It goes out and does a discovery, which is a great process of it. You could have something like a rogue DHCP server, and it will identify it, and then you can see to which switch port it is connected. It is quite an impressive tool. I really liked it because you didn't have to install an agent on anything. It would just go out and do its discovery. For me, that's great.""Gives us the ability to see our network."

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

More IxChariot Cons →

"I would like a built-in tap feature which doesn't interfere with the network, and it allows you to see what is happening there.""Its price can be improved. Their support can also be improved a little bit. In terms of features, it did everything I wanted it to do. With more features, I would have to start installing network agents or something else, and I don't want to have to install anything. This was the value for me about this device."

  • "Its price was a bit excessive. The device that I had died. It is under warranty, and they want $20,000 for another one. I just don't want to spend that kind of money, so I'm trying to find an alternate solution. They have annual maintenance on it, which probably was 10% a year, so it all starts to add up."

    Top Answer:Implementing IxChariot is very easy and user-friendly.
    Top Answer:I don't know specific details about licensing, but I believe the licensing is annual. So I rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being very reasonable pricing.
    Top Answer:The graphical user interface needs to be improved. But this issue may depend on the host machine. For example, if we want to host using a desktop, we can run it for 20 to 72 hours without issues. But… more »
