## Reviews

### "Great tool to have to complement your enterprise network support systems" — 5.0/5

> **jeff** | *December 18, 2023* | Computer Networking | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of use, mature gui and the ability to craft packets as well as use pre loaded or saved traffic sessions.
> 
> **Cons**: selecting/discovering interfaces but that has matured as well. Much improved
> 
> It is my go to product for packet crafting for security/FW testing, network load and fail over stimuli testing. Application simulation for performance. I have used this product almost ten years. It has matured greatly and if its result data can be tied into analytics/splunk/AI type systems vai api pipeline an AI system can take the traffic load/impact results from Ostinato and provide additional analysis feedback.

### "Great product" — 5.0/5

> **Juan** | *March 2, 2023* | Aviation & Aerospace | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ostinato is a very easy to use traffic generator. It provides a comprehensive API that can be easily incorporated into an existing test environment. The Ostinato GUI makes it easy to replay existing network captures (.pcap files) to exercise a DUT. It also has other cool features such as the ability to export a given configuration to a python source file. This allows for quick logic prototyping and testing. Moreover, Srivats provides outstanding customer service and always responds to questions in a timely manner.
> 
> **Cons**: some Ostinato products require license authentication with a remote server. This is not a problem for most people, but it could be a limiting factor if the intent is to use it in classified labs with not access to the outside world

-----

### "A user friendly tool" — 5.0/5

> **Fahad** | *March 29, 2023* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Its is good tool for traffic analysis and connecting with Wireshark etc tool
> 
> **Cons**: It better to have application layer traffic
> 
> It is a smart product for users

### "Fine product.  Replicates customer issues very well." — 5.0/5

> **Scott** | *September 11, 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Powerful and easy to understand.Easy to install, too.
> 
> **Cons**: A little confusing understanding how all the streams/interfaces/names all work together.  (a bit diffuse conceptually at times) but I can always figure it out.
> 
> Very good.Would love to know if there's any way (present or future) to leverage a CLI-based ostinato.I.e. a CLI command in linux that would do the same as the "generate" click in the GUI.Example (new command called "ostinato-send", etc.)ostinato-send  etc.

### "When iPerf just doesn't do it anymore..." — 5.0/5

> **Michael** | *August 14, 2023* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Had to test MPLS and VxLAN traffic at higher speeds and Ostinato met our requirements with a low cost compared to other expensive appliance based traffic generators.
> 
> **Cons**: No cons as of yet, still testing and using the product.
> 
> It was great working with \[sensitive content hidden\], he is always quick to answer emails and improve his product.
