Exinda vs Packeteer

Overview

Basic summary of advantages and feature deficiencies for Exinda Networks vs competition.

Primary Exinda Advantages

  1. Exinda ease of use and manageability.
  2. We have a much higher success rate in finding and addressing difficult traffic such as bit torrent and skype.   we have a 98% success rate vs. Packeteer’s 40%
  3. Exinda uses two engines to determine traffic:
  • Layer 7 w/300  signatures  (see attachment on topic Exinda Networks)
  • Heuristic, behavioral based deep packet inspection.  Packeteer has 1 engine with about 700 signatures
 

Deltas with Packeteer

For the most part, we are on parity with Packeteer features wise. The only things that I could find as incremental with Packeteer are:
  1. Reports that can go down to a higher granularity time wise, i.e. Down to the minute, although our reports are much easier to use and largely considered more useful.
  2. Packeteer has some options for field upgradable ( I believe they are field upgradable) hardware extensions for more ram, bridge groups etc.
