Pros
none there was no good things about this program
Cons
didn't install properly, and never ran even one time!
Summary
$192 Rip-off, better software out there.
thekidd77June 9, 2006
Pros
Seemed to work decently (not good, just decent) about half the time.
Cons
Doesn't always work, stalls, crashes program, crashes system. Repeated (over a dozen) emails sent to company with questions regarding product went unanswered. Absolutely no technical support what-so-ever (although it was promised). A huge rip-off. I am sorry I ever saw this product. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PROGRAM!!! We paid for the full product ($191.74) and found ourselves completely ripped off.
Summary
Good looking packet sniffer. But better freeware alternatives exist.

Pros
Very easy to work with. <p>Good information about the packets it reads.
Cons
Not free. <p>Very expensive. <p>Looks and feels like the program EtherSnoop...which is FREE!
Summary
Danger - Do not install

Pros
Cons
Summary
Installation program performed a *no warning* restart on a small production server causing chaos. Do not support a company that treats your pc in such a cavalier manner. Wasted hours of my time. Didn't work anyway.
Doesn't work very well

Summary
Couldn't sniff traffic on my WAN Miniport. They say that's supposed to work.
Crippled trial software!

Pros
Cons
Summary
Don't even start downloading! The manufacturer first promisses that the software is free to try but when you actually download the 3.3MB file, it starts telling you that the program will work in halfduplex only (outgoing traffic) and for a period of 30 days. I don't mind the 30 days but how the h$ll can you test crippled software? Bad for my mood, bad for the bandwith. Leave it alone.
