ClearSight Analyzer vs Wireshark comparison

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

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

"The strongest feature of this solution, is the ability it gives us to carry out deep-packet inspections on our network, particularly when a function isn't performing as it should."

"The drill-down available for packet analysis is great. It gives a network security engineer insight into what is going on at the packet level and enables better troubleshooting."

"I find Wireshark a very useful tool. Its best feature is that it allows me to deeply understand what's going on at the packet level, as well as any adverse signatures that I can analyze. When I need to create an IPS rule, I need to check the traffic deeply to get more insights about the actual traffic, what's the name of certain flags, etc., and I'm able to do all that through Wireshark. The tool is also user-friendly."

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

"The feature to incorporate Voice over IP (VoIP) incidents into network traffic analysis is valuable. Capturing voice or SIP communication allows for examination of interactions between SIP clients and SIP servers. This helps the team investigate or analyze issues related to call center servers and operators."

"Wireshark is a good tool to start with network analyzing and packet capturing."

"Setup is very easy. It's also possible to change source code and compile if you want to change something in the code, because it's free."

"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."

"Big trace files (more than 1,000,000 packets) can be slow, but then you can use "TraceWrangler" (also free) to help with slicing and dicing the data."

"I wish the filters were a little bit more prepopulated."

"It is difficult to scale this solution."

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

"The only thing that I don't like is sometimes there is an update, and something that I was using is either no longer there or it has changed."

"I have not used Wireshark to an advanced point where I could provide a detailed opinion on improvements needed."

"The speed of the Internet could be improved, especially its performance."

"Its user interface was a little less friendly. They can make its user interface a little bit more friendly. It is for technical people, and most of the technical people would be able to figure it out, but it would be good to improve its user interface. They can maybe build artificial intelligence into it. Currently, it takes a lot of manpower to analyze and dissect all the data."

"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 free software, so you don't have to pay any licensing fee. Individual people can use it and then donate to Wireshark."

"It is an open-source solution."

"This is an open-source product that can be used free of charge."

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

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

"It is free."

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

"The tool is free."
