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."

"This is a tool that gives you a clear-cut idea about where the issue is, and where the packs are dropping."

"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."

"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."

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

"I like the filtering feature as we can filter data easily. This feature is also available in tcpdump, but it's a simple piece of software. Wireshark is more advanced and has many features. It allows you to filter a lot of things. The output can be filtered easily. The most important feature is colorization. If I say, "Okay, this particular SMB protocol in red, it will show me red." It's easy to identify that protocol or capture data."

"Wireshark's best feature is that it's adaptive, which means it's the go-to tool for network-related developers."

"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."

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

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

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

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

"Wireshark could be improved with a delay option when getting data automatically. It could also work faster."

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

"A room for improvement in Wireshark is its ease of use for beginners; it could be better."

"A room for improvement in Wireshark is its ease of use for beginners. It could be better. Another room for improvement in the tool is for it to provide more details about the traffic load. At the moment, Wireshark is adequate for me, so there isn't anything I'd like added to it in its next version."

"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."

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

"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."

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

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

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

"The tool is free."

"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 free."
