What Andrisoft Wansight is
Andrisoft Wansight monitors, analyzes, and accounts for network traffic; it does not detect or mitigate DDoS attacks. Linux packages run on your own servers, while a web Console centralizes management. Flow Sensors handle protocols including NetFlow, sFlow, jFlow, NetStream, and IPFIX. Packet Sensors inspect traffic from mirror ports, TAPs, and in-line links. Analytics include graphs by IP, subnet, and IP group, plus traffic decoder reports, top lists, and 95th-percentile accounting. The Flow Collector can search, filter, and export flows; Packet Tracer displays packet captures in a Wireshark-like view. Reports span five seconds to ten years and can be scheduled by email in PDF or Excel. The Console supports scoped customer and department views, role-based profiles, white-label branding, and authentication through SAML 2.0, LDAP, Active Directory, or RADIUS. The Sensor license is $345 a year for one Packet Sensor or Flow Sensor, monitoring only. There is no free plan; a reviewed request can qualify for a 30-day evaluation license.
