ClearSight Analyzer vs Wireshark comparison

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

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

"The GUI is easy to use."

"Wireshark is a network analytic tool which provides such intelligent information in a network."

"Wireshark's best features are that it lets us see what traffic is in the network and what data should be encrypted."

"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 good for network engineers; it's free software, you can install it very easily, and there are a lot of features."

"The filter option provided by Wireshark is its most valuable feature...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"Wireshark has a tool called tshark that can parse the files without opening them so that you can take large captures, say 2-10GB, and return only relevant information."

"Packet-capture files can be hard to use due to their size. Wireshark has a tool called tshark that can parse the files with out opening them so that you can take large captures, say 2-10GB, and return only relevant information."

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

"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."

"In the future, it would be nice to see color coding. It is just black and white."

"DNS could be improved."

"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 easy to get overwhelmed with the amount of data you are looking at."

"It is difficult to scale this solution."

"We would like the product to be developed so that it doesn't rely on internet access for installation. We would like to see all of the components required to be integrated into the installer."

"This product needs to improve the UI."

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

"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."

"The tool is free."

"It is free."

"Wireshark is free software, so you can download it and use it for free with no licensing fees."

"It's a stand-alone tool. If there is a commercial license for it I am unaware of it."

"It is an open-source solution."

"We are using a freeware version of this solution, so there are no licence costs involved."

"Wireshark is free of charge, and there's no license involved."
