| Partner at Opticom Data Products | 4.0 | I use NIKSUN NetVCR to analyze network traffic for clients, appreciating its performance and forensic capabilities. It provides detailed packet information but could improve with automation for immediate mitigation to enhance security. Automated features would increase its effectiveness. |
| Partner at Opticom Data Products | 3.5 | I rate NIKSUN 7/10 for its excellent scalability and detailed packet capture reporting. However, I find it's a passive solution lacking SOAR automation, and its support team often struggles with final resolutions. |
I am using NIKSUN NetVCR and selling the solution to customers.
NIKSUN NetVCR is a solution that catches all the packets and is able to see the source IP and other details about the connection. The solution provides a detailed report of all the network packets that are being received.
The most valuable features of NIKSUN NetVCR are its performance and forensic capabilities. Additionally, the information that the solution provides is highly detailed and useful. When dealing with network traffic packets can be sent at a high speed causing some security issues, but this solution is able to rapidly monitor the packets providing security.
The solution could improve by having automatic mitigation. For example, as soon as a problem occurs the solution alarms and mitigates the situation immediately.
In a feature release of the solution they should add features related to automation and remediation. Automation would help increase level of security the solution provides.
I have been using NIKSUN NetVCR for approximately six years.
I rate the stability of NIKSUN NetVCR a seven out of ten.
We have approximately 200 people using the solution.
I rate the salability of NIKSUN NetVCR an eight out of ten.
I rate the support from NIKSUN NetVCR an eight out of ten.
Positive
I rate the initial setup of NIKSUN NetVCR a seven out of ten.
There are not a lot of steps to do for them implementation but the person doing it has to understand network topology.
Our deployment took a long time.
The price of the solution is high. There is an annual license costs.
I rate the price of NIKSUN NetVCR a seven out of ten.
My advice to others is there is always attacks and it is a real issue and will continue to be in the future. Companies should have all the tools needed to best protect themselves. This solution helps as a security layers.
I rate NIKSUN NetVCR an eight out of ten.
NIKSUN offers two types of solutions. One is for performance management and the other is for forensics and cybersecurity. The solution provides reports in real time, as well as historical records. Every packet is stored, indexed and kept in the database. You can use the database to view events that have happened or set up real time alerts. NIKSUN provides you with the why, what, when and where type of answers to all your network problems.
NIKSUN's capabilities can be used in three main forms; a physical appliance, virtual appliance or using the cloud.
The unique selling point of NIKSUN is its ability to scale and its reporting capabilities. NIKSUN captures the packets at a very high speed, from one GB to 160 Gbps. It offers report granularity in nanoseconds. It is possible to pull a report with sub-second levels of intervals and filter the results as per your requirements.
NIKSUN is a passive solution. It provides you with you data, alerts, reports and the root cause of issues. However, it requires a person to make use of this functionality. If an event is happening and nobody attends to it, the effects of the event could be severe.
In future, it would be useful to have SOAR (Security, Orchestration and Automated Response) functionality. This would provide automation in the management of events.
The after sale support for this solution could be improved.
The solution has a 24 hours help desk available but the team are not always able to provide a final resolution to a problem.
Neutral
With cyber attacks becoming more sophisticated, the impact on a business can be devastating. This solution offers full packet capture meaning you don't need to solely reply on sampling. It offers a playback facility where you can go back in the time and dissect any event that has happened. This solution offers better insights than others on the market.
I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.
