Trisul Network Analytics review
A broad packet and flow analytics platform for enterprise-scale network investigations.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Trisul Network Analytics is a Linux-based network monitoring and forensics platform for enterprises, ISPs, telecom operators, data centers, and security teams. It combines raw packet capture and storage with NetFlow, IPFIX, and sFlow ingestion, then presents traffic results through browser-based dashboards, reports, queries, and alerts. Its server deployment supports distributed Hub-and-Probe architectures, making it suited to organizations that need visibility across larger or distributed networks rather than a lightweight desktop analyzer.
The platform’s main strength is breadth across packet and flow investigation. Flow reconstruction, enrichment, querying, and drilldowns sit alongside more than 200 built-in network traffic metrics. TLS metadata, certificate, SNI, and JA3 analysis add context for encrypted traffic, while Suricata integration brings IDS alerts into the same analytical environment. Trisul EDGE provides graph analytics, and the Lua analytics API plus TRP database API extend the platform for specialized workflows. Integrations with Splunk and Elasticsearch also support connections to wider analysis and data ecosystems.
Pricing is organized around a Free 7-Day Trial and three paid plans. The trial includes all features, up to 10 GB of raw PCAP storage, one probe per domain, and seven days of data retention. Small is a perpetual license for networks up to 500 internal IPs, Medium covers up to 3,000 internal IPs, and Unlimited is for larger networks; each paid plan includes one year of support and maintenance. Production pricing is quotation-based. Trisul is a strong fit for teams that need packet retention, flow analytics, distributed collection, and security-context enrichment in one platform. Teams seeking a permanent free tier, payload decryption, or a simple standalone analyzer should look elsewhere.
