Overall Satisfaction with Wireshark
We use Wireshark in a multitude of ways. First, we troubleshoot connectivity issues with it, second, we use it for Firewall ruleset tests and third we use it to monitor odd traffic patterns. We find it most helpful when setting up a new product and a vendor is blaming something on our firewall and we can then show them the logs that the traffic is getting through to their side but no response.
