Omnipeek review
A feature-rich Windows analyzer for teams investigating complex network and application issues.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Omnipeek is a Windows-based network protocol analyzer for capturing, decoding, visualizing, and investigating network traffic. It is aimed at network and security teams working across application performance, wireless, voice, video, and broader network troubleshooting. The product supports local packet capture and analysis, while remote workflows extend through Capture Engines, LiveWire appliances, and virtual software. Its feature set covers packet-level inspection, real-time analytics, flow visualization, and expert analysis of common network problems.
For distributed environments, Omnipeek combines remote monitoring with multi-segment analysis of application flows. Integrations with LiveWire, Capture Engines, and LiveCapture support remote capture and monitoring workflows. Wireless analysis includes packet capture and multi-channel analysis, while voice and video capabilities add traffic analysis and call playback. SSL traffic decryption using server private keys can help teams inspect encrypted traffic where that approach fits their investigation and security requirements.
The published commercial model is contact sales, with a 30-day trial and no free plan. Omnipeek’s broad coverage suits teams that need one Windows-focused environment for wireless, voice, video, flow, and packet investigations. It is less suitable for organizations that require a non-Windows platform, a free ongoing tier, or publicly listed plan pricing. Teams evaluating it should also consider whether its Capture Engines, LiveWire integrations, and remote monitoring model match their existing network architecture.
