We also have an 'early adoption' installation at USF. We've found the
client performance data the system provides and the alerts it generates
to be helpful and accurate. For example, we had a fairly large dDoS
attack hit our network a couple months ago and the Nyansa system clearly
spotted the impact this had on client experience. The baseline
comparisons are useful in identifying areas needing the most attention
and the product's ability to monitor and report on critical services
like DHCP, DNS and RADIUS helps identify issues which may be affecting
large numbers of clients. The Nyansa team has been very responsive and
receptive to suggestions for product improvements.

All:
I was recently approached by a vendor offering a wireless analysis
software that combines the processing of AMON in conjunction with deep
packet inspection (through collectors that are looking at all the
traffic coming off of your controllers via SPAN or Taps). I was
impressed with what I saw. The company has apparently been in stealth
mode until about 5 weeks ago, so most on this list would not have
heard of them.
They offer up Brandeis University as one of their early adopters. Has
anyone else had a chance to look into this yet? The website isn’t
going to give you a lot. If you go to Youtube, you’ll find some round
table demos that should give you an idea of the capabilities.
We have a few concerns… High cost and the cloud based nature of the
service (no way to house on prem at the time). If you’ve looked at
this and had time to formulate some thoughts, I would appreciate it.
