Plixer FlowPro is a network monitoring and analysis solution aimed at increasing visibility and optimizing business performance. According to the vendor, this software solution is suitable for small, medium, and large enterprises, catering to the needs of IT professionals, network administrators, security analysts, managed service providers, and financial institutions. By addressing gaps in network data, FlowPro aims to help organizations secure their networks, detect potential threats, and gain valuable insights into network performance.

## Key Features

**Threat Detection**: FlowPro is designed to monitor DNS traffic, enabling the identification of data exfiltration and detecting command and control (C2) communication.

**Abnormal Behavior Detection**: FlowPro's monitoring and analysis of DNS traffic can help identify unusual protocol behavior, reducing the risk of malware, data exfiltration, and DDoS attacks.

**C2 Communication Identification**: FlowPro proactively monitors network traffic to identify communication with C2 servers, aiming to reduce the risk of infection and prevent the delivery of malware payloads.

**Deep Visibility into Encrypted Traffic**: FlowPro's DNS monitoring provides additional insight into encrypted traffic, allowing for the identification of the actual destination, including fully qualified domain names.

**End-to-End Application Performance Visibility**: FlowPro complements network devices' metadata export with deep packet inspection (DPI) and application fingerprinting, providing comprehensive application performance visibility that may be missed by other devices.

**Layer 7 Performance Monitoring**: FlowPro offers the ability to fingerprint and measure the performance of real-time applications, such as voice and video, aiding in the identification of performance issues related to servers, applications, or the network.

**Rapid Problem Resolution**: FlowPro provides end-to-end visibility and user-friendly reports, facilitating rapid root cause analysis of poor user experience by correlating traffic with important data elements, such as jitter, latency, and QoS misconfigurations.

**Global Network and Application Performance Visualization**: FlowPro exports information to visualize, optimize, and manage network and application performance on a global scale, aiming to ensure a positive application experience regardless of location or device.

**Traffic Visibility from All Network Locations**: FlowPro allows monitoring of network traffic from various locations, supporting virtual and physical appliance options with multiple monitor ports, and can be set up using SPAN, mirror port, or ethernet tap.

**Latency Troubleshooting**: FlowPro offers assistance in identifying and troubleshooting latency issues by measuring application round trip time and providing packet-level performance metrics, helping to resolve network performance issues associated with latency.

Plixer FlowPro is a network sensor that delivers security and network insight where infrastructure otherwise falls short. With a single sensor, network operations can gain additional insight into the network while security operations simultaneously lower risk, gain data context, and respond quickly to security incidents.
