What is Plixer Scrutinizer?

Plixer is a developer of network management software with a focus on network traffic analysis, network security, threat detection and network optimization, headquartered in Kennebunk, Maine. Plixer Scrutinizer collects, analyzes, visualizes, and reports on data from every network conversation and digital transaction to deliver security and network intelligence.

Plixer Scrutinizer delivers network performance monitoring by collecting, visualizing, and reporting on data that extends from the user to the cloud. It also provides real-time detection of DDoS attacks. Plixer Scrutinizer delivers visibility into bandwidth, application, and user utilization (including the WAN and SD-WAN).

Plixer Intelligence products that complement Plixer Scrutinizer


Plixer Security Intelligence
Plixer Security Intelligence consumes and analyzes streamed metadata, in real time, from Plixer Scrutinizer in order to aid resource-strained SecOps teams, dynamically combing massive volumes of machine-generated data and automating the detection and remediation of advanced persistent threats. Plixer Security Intelligence embeds machine learning/artificial intelligence (ML/AI) technology and applies a use-case-driven implementation that delivers real, trustworthy results in milliseconds.

Plixer Network Intelligence
Plixer Network Intelligence, powered by machine learning (ML), is deployed alongside Plixer Scrutinizer. Plixer Scrutinizer streams data in real time to Plixer Network Intelligence, where that data is analyzed with ML. The results of this analysis are sent back to Plixer Scrutinizer, where NetOps staff can visualize and report on it. Plixer Network Intelligence augments NetOps teams by dynamically predicting network capacity requirements, automating network operation functions, improving investigation efficiency, dynamically sharing data with SecOps, streaming data into external data lakes, and streamlining workflows through its ServiceNow integration.

Plixer Scrutinizer is deployed as a rack-mountable appliance servers with all the capabilities pre-installed, or as virtual appliance available for deployment on a VMware, Hyper-V, or KVM server.

Access to high volumes of disparate data does not lead to faster response. So Scrutinizer helps to provide context to support response comes from the correlation of network-related data with metadata from firewalls, IPS, SIEM, and distributed probes, all stitched together into a single database.

Scrutinizer is able to collect flows from a multitude of network devices, we use it for Netflow statistics from Sonicwall gateways, Aerohive access points, Adtran switches, and other devices. It's able to provide detailed reports and data, give an accurate picture of what applications and services are being used on our network.
  • Once configured, Scrutinizer gives an accurate overview of network activity.
  • Scrutinizer is able to collect flows from a variety of devices, you are not limited to Cisco.
  • DSCP based reporting, which is helpful when attempting to determine how good your wireless network is from a QoS perspective.
  • The free version has some limitations that make an accurate evaluation difficult, every day at midnight the data is flushed and you start over.
  • If you are purchasing the appliance, you won't have admin access to it.
  • Reporting could use some polished graphics and advance filtering features.
If you need a network security forensic tool, this is a great fit. Scrutinizer collects everything you have configured as a target without losing data. If you need an in-depth analysis of your network flows, as in who is doing what with what this is a good fit. Scrutinizer translates a massive about of data into readable tables and reports.
  • Scrutinizer is a great tool, extremely easy to implement, it lets you see your NetFlow without a large outlay.
  • WAN traffic monitoring gives you the ability to accurately predict the necessary bandwidth volume, you can now stop over buying.
Scrutinizer is a faster and simpler deployment while still delivering the tools and reports needed to gain accurate view traffic and network usage. Its cheaper than most alternatives and daily use is focused on understanding data, not making config changes so you can understand data. Risk reduction and elimination is the primary focus, Scrutinizer helps you do that.
Support is support, they are either there or they are not. Scrutinizer support has been there every time I've needed them. They rely a bit too much on email correspondence, sometimes I want a voice to tell me what to do, and fast.
