NetScope Business is an Internet and WAN management toolkit designed for business network administrators. It provides visibility into application-level traffic over the Internet, enabling monitoring of performance metrics such as round-trip time (RTT) per application. Key capabilities include: - **Application Performance Monitoring:** Tracks latency and bandwidth usage per application (e.g., CRM, ERP, VoIP, video conferencing) down to per-second granularity, with drill-down into remote sites, users, and protocols. - **Quality of Service (QoS):** Implements traffic shaping and packet shaping rules to prioritize or throttle specific applications, reducing latency for business-critical services. - **User & Group Monitoring:** Integrates with Active Directory to monitor and control Internet traffic per user and group. Administrators can restrict access to specific applications or domains by user group or time of day. - **Deep Packet Inspection (DPI):** Detects applications that evade standard IP and domain filtering, including TOR/Dark Web traffic hidden within the SSL application layer. - **Application Blocking:** Allows administrators to block unauthorized or unwanted applications from accessing the Internet based on DPI results. - **Alerting:** Configurable alerts for events such as Dark Web traffic detection, bandwidth limit breaches, zero traffic conditions (link or application down), and high delays. - **Reporting:** Internet and application monitoring reports, including usage breakdowns by user, group, and application.
