Visibility is vital for smart decision-making and troubleshooting. Applications like social media, blogs, and P2P networking, as well as your core business applications need constant vigilance. The pressures on today’s network are extreme—and the pace keeps intensifying. Organizations operate across the globe, and people travel constantly, work from home and move offices. Spyke’s integrated solution ensures that applications are safe and performing up to par. No complex components and long training curves. Spyke lets you find, diagnose and resolve issues before they become crises.

An easy-to-use GUI shows you everything happening on your network in real time with the precision of Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) and session-based analytics. Spyke’s sharp vision lets you take instant action to optimize application performance. It monitors packet, flow, and session, provides alerting based on thresholds, and reports on performance instantly and over time.
While conventional network monitoring approaches such as flow monitoring inspect only packet headers to derive information, Spyke lets users instantly identify how applications such as web, VoIP, video and so forth are used, helping to categorize and diagnose performance issues instantly.
