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."

"Wireshark is a dynamic software that has developed and adapted to the latest technology advancements and network challenges."

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

"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."

"The most valuable feature is the traffic gate, which shows which IPs are getting more bandwidth or traffic."

"The solution is easy to install and use."

"Wireshark is a great tool to help network engineers identify network problems like broadcasting, injection, poisoning, etc."

"Wireshark is a very useful tool."

"The solution is open-source and free to use, and there is a paid tier with more features if a company needs a bit more."

"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."

"Can be difficult for non packet heads to understand"

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

"The Wireshark search function shows green for a correct search and red for an incorrect search."

"There is a disadvantage when it comes to sampling intervals. Additionally, I've heard from a colleague that Wireshark might be less effective in the voice domain."

"DNS could be improved."

"I was unable to use Wireshark on Windows, and I couldn't capture it, as I'm unsure how to configure the wireless card into monitoring mode on Windows."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"I've never personally had to pay for it, making it a highly valuable internet resource that's accessible for use. While they offer some paid versions, our firm has utilized the free version for the past three years."

"It is free."

"Wireshark is open-source and free of charge."

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

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

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

"The solution is open source so is free."
