Visualization is Key“Able to monitor QoS issues and make changes when needed

without extensive QoS configuration experience.”

“Ease of use and visual feed back of what is actually happening on the network.”

"Near real-time visibility of what is happening across the network at any time.”

“Visual representation provides a logical and intuitive way to deal with many flows at once.”

What Do Our Customers Say?Visualization is overwhelmingly the most liked feature

Jimmy Ray PurserCo-Host Cisco TechWise TV

"Oh mercy do I love ActionPacked LiveAction!! Every engineer out there reading this blog should take a look at this product. I do not install or recommend a network design without including ActionPacked in the design. It is the absolute hands down best!"

Joe DanielsSr. Staff Network Analyst

“I was just amazed that you could actually see the flows and classes and knew right then that I would need this as a tool to implement our QoS.”

“It was like an inoculation against outages. Since we could readily see when something wasn’t right, we could correct problems before network interruptions occurred.”

Roberto HernandezAFB Systems Engineer

“The easiest, most straightforward, and most informative” of any network management tool I have ever used.”

Xavier ChapparoNetwork Engineer

“Configuring QoS with command lines is very cumbersome and it’s easy to make a mistake and not realize it. LiveAction simplifies the process for creating and implementing policies and it also prevents errors.”
