LiveAction: The Middle of the Road Solution to Network Analysis
We used LiveAction LiveNX for a network performance analyzer. The main purpose was for packet and flow use. Though it's not as advance as Extrahop for endpoint analysis, it still gave us a good view under the hood. The main department that uses it is mainly the voice and data department.
- Packet tracing and diagnostics.
- The visual analytics in the dashboard were good.
- Better analytics
- More historical views

- Packet analysis allows us to proactive.
- Understanding of network traffic
Compared to ExtraHop it lacked the network analytics that compares data from an L2 up. We were able to track down rogue devices. certificates, a DNS attack, etc. that would have been a little hard to do in LiveAction. On the flip side, compared to PRTG, LiveAction has many more features that PRTG is lacking. The reporting, actions and visual analytics alone were better.

Live Action LiveNX - Worth the money!
LiveAction's LiveNX product takes the mystery out of your network by assessing your code against best practices, security recommendations, etc. However, this is not where the product functionality ends. The product takes a step by step look at your traffic, via netflow export. The traffic is sampled throughout its flow through your network and makes QOS, route, and security recommendations that can be implemented automatically, or one at a time with a point and click.
- Network QOS Assessment, and recommendations, and point-and-click remediation
- Network L2/L3 Assessment, and recommendations, and point-and-click remediation
- Network Security Assessment, and recommendations, and point-and-click remediation
- Cost is VERY high for what this product does, but it's worth it if you do not have all of the expertise to prioritize your network properly

- LiveAction kept us from having to buy more bandwidth from our ISP due to overutilization. This saved our team over $600/month.
- Had to turn off automatic network fixes as the product was a little overzealous with some of the changes implemented automatically moved back to manually implemented changes.
- The product also allowed us to give great baselines for what we switching we need to upgrade, and what is still good.
There is not any other product that does exactly what LiveAction does. Some come about halfway close, like scrutinizer by Plixer. However, there is a gap with that product as it doesn't give proper quality of service recommendations, or to update l2/l3 configs to head off problems. Plixer's scrutinizer product costs about the same. It was a no-brainer to pick LiveAction.

IT Security Manager's LIveAction Review
We use LiveAction in basically two departments, infrastructure operations (primarily in the QoS arena) and security operations (Netflow data). As the IT security manager, I use it primarily for network overview and netflow data monitoring. It is a great product to give me insight to our overall network architecture and where I can drill down to those areas I need further detail. Its ability to give me the granularity to further investigate possible security incidents is valuable.
- Architecture overview with drill down capability by device.
- Detailed reporting of network traffic by type.
- Great filtering capability which allows granular capture and review of different data types.
- Great QoS functionality (Although I personally do not use it since mine is a primarily security function). Our infrastructure operations group utilizes it in that vein.
- I use it primarily as a monitoring tool from a security standpoint, so one complaint is that the filter creation process takes a little time to learn.
- In the digital days of printing less, I do still need to print network diagrams for compliance documentation and some of the larger network diagrams documents do not print easily.
- I wish the network connection lines were easier to see. They are typically very light and you have to drill down to see them more clearly.
- Real time insight to network issues whether security related or not.
- Great reporting features for executives.
Our infrastructure group evaluated SolarWinds from a network device management perspective and was impressed with the product. However, we were evaluating it from the device management functionality primarily, so a different role than what LiveAction was going to provide.
