Network Troubleshooting Tools

Capsa is being used to troubleshoot core issues with some ease. It allows us to run complex filters on packets being mirrored from our core. Its a very stable application that is able to handle most traffic with ease. It is used to view traffic from 30k users and is managed by just a few individuals.

Robust Application. Able to handle traffic that most businesses will throw at it.
Easy to use. Easy to setup captures and filter down to specific traffic types.
Relatively cheap for what it's able to accomplish.

Needs options to scale to 10Gb/s networks. The cutoff for performance looks to be around 3Gb/sl
Needs API access to trigger capturesl
Needs Agents for remote capturesl

While the product doesn't detect malware, it has helped track down malware infected machines by using data from other applications to run filters to look for known traffic destinations for that malware. For me this is a huge ROI since malware can be the great unknown.
Relatively cheap compared to the feature set.
