Overall Satisfaction with Wireshark

Used to hunt down hard to find issues occuring within the network, great for getting to the bottom of dhcp / dns issues along with any VOIP problem that occurs. Intergrates well with riverbed products to analyse logs. Powerfull set of filters that can narrow down to locate the desired information.
  • Analyse VOIP protocol
  • See everything occuring on interface
  • See bothi inboud and outbound reqeuest
  • Better Wizards
  • Basic / Pro view
  • Limit capture rather than capture everything to reduce log size
  • Deep Dive into traffic
  • Filters
  • Voip Decoding
  • Found ongoing issues that could not be diagnosed by other means
  • Given full view of what is going on in real time
  • Riverbed Security Solution (Flowtraq)
Easier to use along with much lower costs and time required to configure / get running.Quick small install file with no hardware or virtual appliace to deploy. Good support availible online in the way of tutorials to help locate exactly what you require. Good support community. Well documented help file

When you need to get to the bottom of a specific issue, usually used as a last resort when the usuall diagnosics have failed. You do required physical access to switches / devices to conduct tests. Needing to configure mirror ports is not allways obtainable with hardware that you have deployed.
