Likelihood to Recommend I always ask if the other attendees are ok with my using the app. If they were not comfortable, I would turn it off. This is likely over-cautious, but I also am hesitant to use it in extremely sensitive and confidential conversations. I use it as often as possible and am heavily reliant on it for any status meetings where there might be action items for any attendee, etc
Read full review I don't know of any other tool that works as well as Wireshark for packet capture an inspection. It's extremely easy to get up and running, and even with little to no knowledge of how to use the tool, you can be looking at all the traffic coming off a network interface.

Read full review Cons Honestly I do not have any Cons to add. Read full review A more user-friendly interface would be nice, but then again it is not really designed for those who are not quite comfortable with this type of software. Changes to functionality on updates - this can sometimes happen unexpectedly and can be an annoyance. More powerful data processing would be welcomed Read full review Usability Great dashboards and very easy to use.
Read full review I give Wireshark a 10 for usability because it is very usable. Just about anyone can capture packets within a few seconds of opening the program. The analysis is a science but as far as just using Wireshark; it's very easy.
Read full review Support Rating I have not used customer support.
Read full review I don't believe Wireshark has "true" support as the software is open source. However, there is an active & friendly community around Wireshark that are more than happy to help answer questions. From a comprehensive Wiki and FAQ section on the site to the Ask a Question forum and bug tracker section, there's plenty of support options to make sure your questions and issues are addressed.

Read full review Alternatives Considered otter is audio only, and doesn't monitor things like talk time. Both systems have great (relatively new) AI features. Fathom's is a little more functional (templates for notes that can be swapped out after the meeting. Otter's is a little more useful with the AI chat feature and the summaries are a bit stronger
Read full review Wireshark is a free tool that came highly recommended by one of our former network security consultants. Using the tool he was able to resolve all of our higher tier network tickets, so we observed first hand why we needed to add Wireshark into our toolset. We received in-depth instruction and training scenarios that demonstrated the effectiveness and power of the product, so we didn't spend any time reviewing competing products.
