Facing budget and costs constraints, 
organizations are under increasing 
pressure to optimize capital investment  
and minimize costs, including monthly 
Internet service costs. At the same time, 
non-business-related web traffic, such 
as social media, is increasing exponentially, 
draining bandwidth and productivity. IT 
is constrained by outdated monitoring 
and reporting tools that provide limited 
visibility into ports and protocols yet lack 
insight into application traffic flow 
across the firewalls, routers and switches 
on the network. In addition, traditional 
firewalls do not always adequately stop 
threats originating from infected hosts 
inside the network. Value-Added 
Resellers carry the added burdens of 
demonstrating service value to 
customers, while controlling their own 
costs and the amount of time spent 
managing individual customer accounts.

 Scrutinizer is a 
multi-vendor, flow-based application 
traffic analytics, visualization and 
reporting tool to measure and 
troubleshoot real-time and historical 
network performance, while increasing 
productivity for enterprises and service 
providers. Scrutinizer supports a wide 
range of routers, switches, firewalls and 
data-flow reporting protocols.  
Scrutinizer supports network equipment 
products from many different vendors. 
The combination of Scrutinizer and a 
Dell SonicWALL Next-Generation 
Firewall is truly unique, providing 
unparalleled insight into application 
traffic analysis from IPFIX or NetFlow 
data exported by Dell SonicWALL 
firewalls. Scrutinizer easily identifies top 
applications, conversations, flows, 
protocols, users, domains, countries and 
subnets. While some other firewall 
vendors may support NetFlow or IPFIX, 
only Dell SonicWALL offers this level of 
application traffic detail.
Scrutinizer features deep-packet 
application traffic analysis, proactive 
jitter/latency monitoring automated 
reporting, suspicious behavior alerting 
and customizable dashboards. 
Scrutinizer also provides historical  
and advanced reporting, role-based 
administration, advanced analysis, and 
threshold-based alerts
