There are quite a few ways that this solution could be improved. You can't delete more than one thing at a time. It would be great to be able to highlight three out of five things and delete them, whether it's a test or an actual report. We'd also like to have access to more types of tests. There's no data, SQL or SQL type testing so you can't simulate any type of storage protocols. When it comes to their traffic mix, it would be nice to have different sets of data that you can send across, especially when you're working on QoS.

Ixia has one flaw, which is that they do not print the license code on the paper licenses that are shipped to the customers. This impacts technical support because once you have to contact the vendor, they begin asking for that number. It's something that should be upfront, part of the order processing, and readily available. Also, when we do the installation or our partner does it, then when we need to start calling people, the number is not available. It's not something that can be easily addressed over the phone because it is long, with a lot of letters in it. There are features available in the Threat Simulator that are not available in the main product.
