The most valuable features of the solution are the ability to track what a device is doing and to go back historically. It is also able to go down to, and identify, very low levels of traffic.
Plixer Scrutinizer enables detailed tracking and historical data analysis of network traffic, supporting multiple protocols like sFlow and NetFlow. It generates visual data maps quickly and provides top-10 link utilization and host-to-host conversation reports. Despite its technical GUI and limited data retention, it identifies bandwidth consumption and aids security with detailed reports. Scalability and data retention need improvement for high-volume environments and prolonged forensic research.
