  • Makes background network chatter immediately visible
  • Real-time map view rather than a log to read
  • Readable charts and per-host statistics rather than a packet list
  • Exports to PCAP so Wireshark can take over for the detail
  • Locations are approximate GeoIP lookups, not precise
  • It only observes; it cannot block anything
  • Needs packet capture drivers installed, such as Npcap on Windows
  • Not a substitute for Wireshark when you need packet-level detail
