What customers are saying about Observer 10...
About the new Ready-Made Reports and the deeper Data-Mining capabilities....

CheckFree Corporation, America’s leading provider of financial electronic commerce solutions, is a long-time Observer user and a member of the Network
Instruments Beta Testing Program. Bryan A. Larrieu, CheckFree’s vice-president of voice & data communication and information security, is pleased with
the new reporting options found in Observer 10.

“Our company is focused on metrics and we depend on solutions that are fully scalable and serve our large volume needs,” said Larrieu.“In Observer 10, I particularly like the additions for reporting and data-mining. At CheckFree,we constantly add new forms of connectivity and new applications to our environment.With version 10, I can easily capture data and distribute reports on Top Talkers or Protocol Distribution without having to analyze thousands of conversations inside a packet capture.We also analyze large amounts of captured data and utilize Observer’s ability to buffer and stream hundreds of 60MB files. Observer 10 offers enhancements for data-mining such as pre-filtering making sorting through the large amounts of data much easier.”
