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 incredibly powerful, user-friendly, and a free tool, which is capable of live capture and offline analysis of traffic on any size network."

"What's best about Wireshark is that it doesn't require installation, supports cards and monitoring permissions, and is sufficient for appending and capturing activities, so you won't need to install other tools and can capture packets at any time from your laptop through Wireshark."

"Wireshark has a lot of features. It's a powerful tool if you're familiar with it. You can see everything on the network with it."

"It helped in the sense that it allowed the team to troubleshoot networks faster."

"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."

"One of the best products that can provide the details of what is happening with an application and the full life cycle of the response time."

"The GUI is easy to use."

"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 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."

"Wireshark is restricted when any sort of encryption is involved, such as XSL encryption or DLX."

"You need good network connectivity to download during the setup, otherwise, it might take a while."

"Maximum buffer size of captured data should be unlimited and should allow ability to archive all old captures (not save option) in real time, it should support a destination location where old captures can be directed for long term storage."

"Not always simple to setup and get the filtering right when capturing data."

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

"Wireshark could be improved with a delay option when getting data automatically."

"Wireshark gets stuck when it is a larger file."

"The product is great but I wish there were more of an emphasis on the command line tools."

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

"The solution is open source so is free."

"It is free."

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

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

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

"The tool is free."

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