Wireshark has graphical user interface and it is easy to use for packet capturing and analysis. It provides documentation and support resources. This makes users to learn from it and upgrade the skill level & knowledge. It is very powerful tool for troubleshooting network issues, security threats and analyzing performance. It supports wide range of protocols for analysis networks. It is very useful for network engineers and system administrator.
Wireshark generates high amount of data and it difficult to find a perticular packet to new user and it difficult for beginners to navigate a software. It may require knowledge or training how to navigate the software. Also require hardware resources of computer systems.
This can beneficial for network engineers and system administrator to monitoring network system. It comes with wide range of network protocols. Also wireshark provides documentation and resources for beginners how to operate software. It captures the packet and analysis the performance.
The interface makes a potentially complicated mission relatively simple. Easy to chose a network data stream to listen in on and start recording.
I wish I didn't have to import the data file into another program to get it presented and analyzed to my liking, but it is only a minor inconvenience.
I had a rogue DHCP server on my network and Wireshark helped sniff it out.
An easy to use network packets sniffer that is available for windows and Linux
I've been using Wireshark for more than 10 years and I've never found a downside of using it
A GUI packet sniffer that can help me see the traffic types and in case of an issue it can be of great help for troubleshooting the issue
Filtering of different protocols like SIP, RTP, Diameter etc.,
You cant filter certain prtocols if u dont configure right ports or if u dont know ports. For example from production
Great tool for protocol flow analysis
SIP flow analysis (B2BUA)..Analysing call flow at high level and also in depth Example: Filter protocol and choose menu Telephony->VOIP and select all packets (Ctrl+A) and then OK.. U will get a great high level flow which is ultimate for analysis
Wiresharks provides analysis on communication protocols and it is very comprehensive
The learning curve is a little steep for a beginner.
One needs to understand the protocols of the technology intended to be dissected.
I am studying wired/wireless protocols and technologies using Wireshark
Wireshark allows to capture all type of packet data in network traffic.
Captured packets can be store on physical hard drive for analyzing and troubleshooting the network problems.
Wireshark is free of codes.
Wireshark should improve the the user interface.
It's difficult to read the encrypted network traffic.
Wireshark a best tool to analyze and developed SIP (Session Intialization Protocol) based applications.
Useful to check the in and out packets from networks.
Wireshark makes it possible to analyze packets from various interfaces such as LAN, WIFI, Bluetooth, and even USB. It supports the primary OS such as Windows, macOS, and Linux, among others. I like that it comes with an Npcap installer, which makes it more efficient and secured since it can be provisioned only for users with administrative privileges. It can also now extract mp4 videos.
There is nothing to dislike about this open-source network analyzer.
The support community is very vast. You won't get lost if you need help with this application. You should get this tool. It is not very complicated to use.
Wireshark is solving the need for a free network troubleshooting tool. With it, we are able to identify network problems.
It has been one of the first sniffing tool, it makes difficult things simple, outstanding GUI
I cannot find any weakness in the product
Use the solution and follow a little course about the solution, because it is a great product but not easy to use
In our company, we use it to detect anomalies in network connections, it allows to view the flow till inspect the packet
What I like best about the Wireshark it provides very simple solutions for the network connecting issues. With Wireshark, we keep track of packet data information exchange between two different networks. Wireshark supports multiple types of protocols formates so we can easily debug the issues and we easily capture the packets data exchange information also. It has a user-friendly environment for the debug any type of protocol issues.
What I dislike about the Wireshark sometimes it won't provide the data exchange information between the networks. Very little support towards USB data capture. users may feel the data security issues while using Wireshark. it will also show all unwanted networks also.
It helps me to grow my business with help of Wireshark we can easily debug the network data exchange issues and we fixed them very easily with help of Wireshark. We mainly work products with regarding LAN and wifi with if we face any issues while communication with help of Wireshark we solved those issues and it saves my time a lot.

This is very useful because of inbuilt filters which make the analyze easy.
As a best network packets analyzing software there is no negative experience.
This is good in network attack detection using packet analysis. Further, this is useful for research purposes to analyse traffic patterns while implementing network intrusion detection systems.
