Convince your boss to use Scrutinizer
If you have used Scrutinizer in the past or are currently evaluating it and think your company should use it, here is a useful email to help convince your manager, IT Department leader, or even the head honcho.
Hi —,
There is a great LAN/WAN traffic analysis software called Scrutinizer, which I think would be a good idea for us to start using at work.
Benefits
- Save money. Scrutinizer helps us determine who (i.e. end systems) is consuming bandwidth on expensive WAN links.
- Increase productivity. People will know we are watching network abuse and focus more on their job.
- Identify applications. Scrutinizer will help us identify which applications are most used on the company network.
- VoIP & QoS analysis. It can help us verify that traffic is prioritized through our routers and switches.
- Historical Trends. Scrutinizer provides long term historical data trends, with the option to zoom in for details.
It uses the existing NetFlow and sFlow technologies that our routers and switches support, so we will not have to perform any upgrades.
