ClearSight Analyzer vs Wireshark comparison

"What ClearSight will do is it actually maps out the conversation for you."

"This is the best protocol analyzer I've used and I've used some from WildPackets and quite a few other places."

"The options that are required to get the details for the packet drops are good."

"Being able to dissect email data and figure out what is inside email messages was the most valuable feature."

"Being able to dissect email data and figure out what is inside email messages was the most valuable feature. Such a feature is pretty helpful for an ongoing forensic investigation or when there is a potential insider threat that you are trying to investigate. It allows you to see the network activity of the users you are investigating. It also gives you more visibility into your network. It was very easy to set up. There is a lot of information out there on Google and YouTube about how to use it. There is also community support. If you have any trouble, it is pretty easy to find an answer online. You will have to do some digging only if you have a very specific use case."

"Wireshark is very user-friendly; even someone with basic IT knowledge can use it."

"Wireshark's best feature is that it's adaptive, which means it's the go-to tool for network-related developers, as when the new protocol comes up, it's rapidly applied to the system, so I can just look into the packet."

"It is a stable product. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."

"It gives us the ability to pinpoint problems and to communicate network problems with software and hardware vendors."

"I have found the most valuable feature you can design your sniffer the way you want to."

"I would like to see a multi-user version where you can have a launch platform and, potentially, instead of buying six licenses you buy 12 seats or something like that."

"I was upset when they sold the product to NETSCOUT."

"We'd like to be able to extract the output into an Excel table."

"You need some basic knowledge to work with Wireshark. Maybe it could be more user-friendly just for new users. Just for the new generation."

"Wireshark could be improved by adding more monitoring features."

"The average person would probably find Wireshark hard to use. When I first installed it, I was overwhelmed by all the data it was shooting out. It doesn't make sense until you start doing some research and figure out what everything means. It isn't the most user-friendly tool. It just provides so much information."

"It is difficult to scale this solution."

"It would be better if they offered a hybrid version like My Cloud Control."

"I would like to see Wireshark improve the ease of application of the command. The command is very powerful, but not easy to apply."

"The solution’s user interface could be improved."

"It was pretty modest because you could get it in different ways. I think the six licenses, at that time, were about $1,000 each. But then again, I work for a school and educators tend to get discounts on things. So maybe it cost us about five or six hundred a copy."

"Wireshark is open source and gives great value and functionality to the network investigation."

"Wireshark is an open-source product, so it's free to use."

"The tool is free."

"I am using the free version of this solution."

"It is free to download and install. It runs on multiple platforms, so how can you go wrong?"

"We're using the free version of Wireshark."

"The solution is open source so is free."

"It is an open-source solution."
