Ixia BreakingPoint Reviews

Our primary use for Ixia BreakingPoint is stress testing. We are curently evaluating SDWAN solution. Ixia BP generate traffic and is simulating around 200 users.

We didn't want to hire hundreds of people to simulate user web access. ;-)

 We bought the  BreakingPoint to take care of it.

Ixia BreakingPoint has not improved the way our organization functions. It addressed one of our main concerns which was to generate realistic web user traffic in the scope of our specific use case.

We are using Ixia BreakingPoint for security testing by generating traffic.

The most valuable feature of Ixia BreakingPoint is the ransomware and malware database for simulated attacks.

We used the solution to test and validate security certification for applications. We validated testing for traffic scenarios and multiple protocols as we created policies in the firewall using it.

The solution's most valuable feature is testing for IDP scenarios. We validated tests for transition, prevention, performance, and connection scenarios, using this feature.

We use it for building and backend use cases. We also have a verification firewall and visibility use cases.

I like that we can test cloud applications.

We use the solution to simulate traffic within the cyber range. We also use it for legacy protocols.

The solution has many protocols and options, making it very flexible. 

We use Ixia BreakingPoint as a security tester oriented to test other network security solutions. Validation is needed in case of major changes in your network security infrastructure. It might be a change in your HW, major change in architecture or if you just want to be sure, that new feature will not have an effect on the performance of your security solution. We use it for IDS, anti-malware, anti-DDoS, anti-ransomware, etc.

You can use it also for testing the impact of an attack on your valid application traffic and infrastructure. Ixia BreakingPoint provides us with advanced network security features.

What Ixia BreakingPoint brings to the end customer is the use case. We use the product for the POC of security products, proof of concept. 

If you are choosing a vendor for your firewall, IPS, or Anti-DDoS solution, you can use BreakingPoint to validate the datasheets.

You can try the solution in a production environment or simulated production environment to see how your custom network perimeter performs under attack.

It is for network and security testing. It is not used for applications network and security solutions.

Our customers use it to troubleshoot their existing solution. They use it for acceptance testing.

Application Simulator: For simulation of Layer 7 traffic over LTE Network elements.

BPS VE evaluation was used for testing LTE Network elements with a focus on user plane testing BPS VE along with its UI and new concepts to reduce the complexity of manual testing to a large extent. BPS VE provides the scope to automate the tests using REST API or Tcl API, which can improve the quality and speed of testing.
