We had a problem with a poorly configured DNS server in the environment that was generating several conflicts and unavailability of critical applications. In less than 15 minutes I was able to identify the source of the problem.

Pros

The quick and objective way to find and help solve problems

Cons

The price could be more affordable and a free version for home use

Response from Ostinato

Thank you for your feedback, Gilberto!

Happy to hear you were able to diagnose your network problems to a faulty DNS server - ain't DNS (almost) always the culprit?! :-)

Regarding the price, we are a small team trying to provide a quality product and customer service with limited resources. At the current stage of the company we are not in a position to reduce the price or provide a free version. We will reconsider this as we grow!

Hi Srivats,

I wanted to take a moment to congratulate you and your team on developing such an incredible tool. We've had numerous success stories with Ostinato, conducting several POCs and FATs that have allowed us to effectively showcase test cases to our clients. The tool is not only lightweight and user-friendly, but it also makes demonstrating and verifying outputs so much easier. I’m truly grateful for how it has contributed to the success of many of my projects. Thank you for your hard work!

Pros

Demonstrations of unicast, multicast and broadcast traffic,

Cons

nothing, it all good, if this can be available for cybersecurity test.

Response from Ostinato

Thank you Chintaharan for your effusive praise!

We are absolutely delighted has Ostinato has enabled many success stories for you and your organization!

Do reach out to us if you have suggestions for newer use cases - we will definitely consider them!

Only suitable for laboratory use. It has the potential but lack of network tester functionality disqualifies it from everyday use.

Pros

Platform Availability (Linux, Masons etc)

Cons

Difficult to use, no network tester function.

Response from Ostinato

Thank you for your feedback! Can you elaborate on what network tester functionality you are looking for so that we can consider implementing that in a future release?

Excellent, I love that you can capture and inyect messages, an indispensable tool

Pros

All the information available, and known protocols

Cons

Sometimes can be overwhelming amount of data to filter an go thru, maybe more intuitive filtering could help

Response from Ostinato

Thank you, Alfredo!

Do you mean to create a packet/stream one has to fill a lot of data? Can you give an example of intuitive filtering so that we better understand your suggestion?
