## Reviews

### "Excellent alternative to expensive network performance testing tools" — 5.0/5

> **Peter** | *12 July 2023* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The GUI is very easy to use and makes sense.  And now with the TURBO mode we can test devices up to 40G without any problem.  Also the tech support is TOP NOTCH.
> 
> **Cons**: Overall everything is well documented and easy to use and understand.  I would like to see the GUI have saved preferences for setting port stat columns a certain size etc.  Currently you have to resize them each time you bring it up.  But that is minor compared to the amazing functionality of the product.

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

> **jeff** | *18 December 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.

### "Why Yes" — 4.0/5

> **Oscar** | *30 March 2023* | Computer Networking | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Helps you know your infra weakness and what needs to be improve
> 
> **Cons**: can impact in a baddly way your network if not done with precautions
> 
> i could realize where i need to improve or change network device due to performance issues

### "Great product" — 5.0/5

> **Juan** | *2 March 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

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

> **Scott** | *11 September 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.
