"Agilent.com" has a software version of their Advisor hardware box.
You can try the 45day trial of Advisor Software (SW) edition for free. If
you like, you can buy just the parts you need. (Or if you are and
educational facility - The full version is FREE)

I use both the NAI Sniffer and WildPackets EtherPeek. I like EtherPeek best 
because the user interface is so intuitive. When trying to do a new task 
(like save names or whatever), it seems like my first method of doing it 
always works. With Sniffer, you have to fight the thing to get it to do 
what you want.

Sniffer has an expert system that is somewhat useful for automatically 
determining problems. EtherPeek has NetSense which is similar.

On the downside, EtherPeek used to do a poor job decoding some Cisco 
protocols such as EIGRP, VTP, and ISL. I know they have fixed EIGRP (for 
IP, but not IPX or AppleTalk) in their current version. I haven't checked 
VTP or ISL.

I don't know pricing but I think they are quite expensive
