Overall Satisfaction with Wireshark
Wireshark is the best tool for packet analysis in the market with GUI (in my experience). We use it daily to analyze network traffic, captures packets, monitor interfaces and troubleshoot network problems.
- Easy to use GUI
- Packet capturing is on point
- Rock solid stable
- A lot of functionality
- Great support and maintenance
- Large PCAP files load too long
- Manual query syntax is hard to remember
- Some features are hard to find
- PCAP file support
- Interface monitoring
- Statistics page
- Increases SOC / Network team performance
- Troubleshooting takes less time
- Security investigations takes less time
Honestly, I do not know a better tool than Wireshark with GUI. Every single occasion I had to analyze packets in any company it was done in Wireshark - it's like industry standard.
