TruView says what it does on the tin. If it can capture traffic at 1G, 2G, 4G or 10G wire-rate it does. The onboard statistics will indicate any loss or discarded packets for the user to understand overloading of the solution. As there are a number of systems available it is certainly able to be overloaded with excessive packets in the packet engine or flows in the NetFlow collector component.

It is scalable. Initially, we under-provisioned what we purchased. We had TruView in just a single box and we were pumping too much data through it. Once we moved to a distributed model, we've been able to monitor our core applications flawlessly.

I would rate the scalability of the solution around six out of ten. In the past, before the availability of clustering, scaling TruView was not as straightforward. You couldn't simply add resources like disk space or CPU processing power. Instead, you had to upgrade or export the databases and import them onto a new server. However, nowadays, with more advanced software, you can add additional devices and increase processing power and performance.

We have over 100 users using this solution. Our clients are enterprise businesses, specifically in the banking environment.
