Find out in this report how the two Network Troubleshooting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution provides switch port and VLAN information."
"The tool fits in your pocket, so it's easy to carry and you don't have to have a big bag of tools."
"The most valuable feature is the traffic gate, which shows which IPs are getting more bandwidth or traffic."
"The session-level filtering features are valuable."
"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."
"The transmission and reception issues are valuable."
"It has good basic features."
"It gives us the ability to pinpoint problems and to communicate network problems with software and hardware vendors."
"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."
"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 solution should improve cable testing."
"They could make it easier to set up originally, because the initial setup can be quite hit and miss."
"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 is restricted when any sort of encryption is involved, such as XSL encryption or DLX."
"The decryption of encrypted packets could be better."
"It is not an easy program. You will need to study to use it to its full capabilities (follow a course)."
"Wireshark could be improved with a delay option when getting data automatically."
"The initial setup depends upon the basics. You need to have a clear understanding of the basics."
"You need good network connectivity to download during the setup, otherwise, it might take a while."
"Wireshark could be improved by adding more monitoring features."
