GlassWire

Network Monitoring Software

Kommentare: When it comes to network security Glasswire does a great job but it's not capable of controlling other activities like file security etc.

Vorteile:

At once, I had a problem with unidentified network usage in my PC. My friend suggested this software and it was a great one. Glassware displays each and every network activity on your PC and the applications and processes which consumes data. And also it facilitate to stop any network activity with it's firewall.

Nachteile:

When it comes to network security Glasswire does a great job but it's not capable of controlling other activities like file security etc. And also the notifications from Glasswire are sometimes disturbing.

The best firewall for non-experts and the remote technical team

Vorteile:

We used to buy antivirus licenses that have a firewall as one of their features. But we didn't like it very much for our remote employees. Many times it was necessary to create unsigned connections with the application server, so it became cumbersome for the technical team. With Glasswire, we can give the remote employee a short training on how to manage and configure the firewall. And it's quite convenient, since we purchase personal use licenses for employee-owned workstations. We chose it mainly for its ease of use. Its performance and functionality makes it compare with solutions that integrate everything. At least in our experience, it's better if one app doesn't take care of everything, that allows us to decentralize until it hurts. Monitoring our windows server becomes easier when some novice has typed something he shouldn't

Nachteile:

I wouldn't change anything. We leave that up to the developer. The tool does its job perfectly. I would only add one option, that it be multiplatform, we also want it in linux.

Utterly annoying

Kommentare: Bought it. Paid for it. Expected it to work properly. Liked the advertised features. HOWEVER, absolutely HATE the constant interruptions, pop-ups, computer slow-downs, and overall experience. Will be cancelling it momentarily (or whenever I get around to doing it). Software should be neither seen, nor heard from, if it is to be effective. Wives are for interruptions!!!!

Vorteile:

I appreciate what GlassWire is "trying" to do, but this is not what it actually does. It does give "additional" information about the status of my computer and its workings, as well as its internet connectivity, but it does so at a very annoying expense.

Nachteile:

I HATE, yes - absolutely hate the constant interruptions, pop-ups, non-interesting information and idiotic colors that are EXTREMELY annoying. I now remember why I had GlassWire before and why I eventually cancelled it. Software should be neither seen, heard, nor annoying in order to be effective. I HATE the products, and really don't care what it does. If it's doing its job, it should do it quietly, unobtrusively, and without interrupting my work (or pleasure). We already have too many interruptions in life.

Is it working

Kommentare: I downloaded a pirated 2019 version of Glasswire to properly evaluate it as the free version is typically pointless & useless. I've found it disturbing that despite the "blocked" attribute I gave at least some windows files seem to access the internet anyway, I'm still evaluating it. Using it along with a trial version of Bitdefender having ditched avast.

Vorteile:

Love the ease I can simply block a program I feel has no business getting internet access.

Nachteile:

Is it really blocking things I tell it to???? Windows updates & other windows programs in particular.

Monitor Your Network Usage with Glasswire

Kommentare: Overall experience with Glasswire is really impressive. Due to Glasswire, I have managed to save a significant amount of bandwidth usage from unwanted applications and processes.

Vorteile:

Glasswire lets you monitor your network usage and present it with colourful and insightful charts and graphs. You can view the usage by dates, weeks, months and also have access to the usage history. Furthermore, it lets you see which applications are using the bandwidth and the amount of consumption. Whenever new application or process starts using the bandwidth you are notified with a notification from Glasswire.

Nachteile:

The only issue I see with Glasswire is not being able to see which websites are using the bandwidth and the amount. It only shows particular web browser has used the bandwidth, not by a particular website.

Glasswire - trusted

Kommentare: I use it for one of the home computers that I have used for visiting all sorts of links online. I installed Glasswire to ensure that I had some control over what traffic I was involved with.

Vorteile:

Glasswire delivers an overview of the traffic that is on the network I am using. This enables me to see first hand if something is up.

Nachteile:

It could be cheaper for a PRO version as the features in the free is allright, one would like to have more as it is a very good program, but the price is a bit high.

Awesome piece of Software

Kommentare: SUPER AWESOME BRO

Vorteile:

I love this software. I am very found of good software, useful software, which now a days are very scarce. I can not thank developers enough for making a software which shows what application uses the internet and uploads/downloads to what address. This kind of detailed information hub reviles the vulnerability which I didn't know was there before. It also enabled me with the power to block the traffic. Simply "It Is AWESOME"

Nachteile:

I don't know of any cons yet, I have used just the trial. But it will be very bad if they record our browsing history and logins. Which they say they don't but real truth will come forward in time.

Easy to use firewall

Vorteile:

This is a easy to use visual firewall. It takes little knowledge to use and is super straight forward. Keeps everything working easy.

Nachteile:

No real gripes about the product. It does what it states and does so very easy.

A most useful tool for a shared network.

Vorteile:

The free version offers all the basic features needed to monitor my broadband usage. And make sure I am not the one taking all the broadband :)

Nachteile:

They keep reminding me there is a paid version :D I really don't have anything negative to say about it.

Best User Friendly Network Monitor Out There

Kommentare: My overall experience with GlassWire has been very positive. I've been an ardent user of this software for the past 4 years. It has helped me countless times to identify malicious connections being made by an unauthorized software. It provides an added peace of mind to me and helps me to use any software on my computer without any care in the world.

Vorteile:

It provides round the clock Network Monitoring that is understandable in layman's terms. I can see each and every application that's trying to connect to a server over the internet down to the last minute details about the trust score of the server. Very useful for people who like to keep an eye on their systems so that no malware or hacker compromise the integrity of the system.

Nachteile:

Recently they moved over to a paid version which limits the user to view history of connections that were made in the past. Now, only last 24hrs history is available to the user.

Glasswire

Vorteile:

GlassWire provides a comprehensive network traffic overview, allowing me to effortlessly monitor any unusual activities on my network in real-time. It's like having a direct window into my network's health and security, giving me the ability to spot any potential issues right away.

Nachteile:

The software is really good but the professional edition comes at quite a premium price point

GlassWire for Internet User

Kommentare: Overall it is very useful user friendly software.I still use this software and this is a one of my favorite software in my software collection.Every time I formatted my computer this is a one software which I use to install first.It safe guarding my computer and give me the full detail of my internet usage.It help me to save my internet data bundle which offer my internet package.

Vorteile:

GlassWire is a very useful firewall software which I found by accidentally.It was very good useful software more than I thought.It is very simple to use because it simply shows the internet using applications on my computer and I can block those from accessing my internet by just one click.It has very simple user interface so without any knowledge any one can easily operate this software. If any new application start to accessing the internet it immediately shows up a massage and I can quickly blacklist or block that application.So from that I can easily find out any malware or virus applications which can not find out by my virus guard.And also it shows me my data usage of application to application.From that I could able to disable unwanted applications which use internet and save data of my internet connection.By disabling those unwanted data using applications by GlassWire I was able to speed up my internet connection than previous.GlassWire is not a heavy application which not use lot of ram and processing power.So that Its not slow down my day to day works and serve me very well.I recommend this software to any one who has unwanted data using problems of applications.

Nachteile:

This is very good software with well designed user interface.It was done every job which I was tell to do.But it did not able to stop down the windows auto update.That is the main issue I faced on using this software.When I use it first time it was not a payable software.Now it need to buy the software after the trial period.Lot of antivirus software supply the same usage of this application so I think buying those kind of antivirus software is much economical than buy this software.Those are the main drawbacks I saw in this software rather than it is very good software which must be in your software collection.

Excellent Network Monitoring Tool

Kommentare: Overall an excellent network monitoring tool for PC and Android users.

Vorteile:

Glasswire is an excellent network firewall and security tool for Windows PC users. It's very easy to set up and user-friendly. The UI is also so beautiful. Only the free plan will do a great job in terms of security, and they have a 7-day free trial for the premium features. If you want a full-proof firewall system, you can upgrade to the premium plan, and for multiple licenses, you can have decent discounts.

Nachteile:

Nothing bad about Glasswire. But they only support Windows and Android. They should consider developing it for Mac and iOS.

The best network security software out there

Kommentare: Overall, GlassWire is great.

Vorteile:

I really like how easy GlassWire is to use. Even my grandmother could use it if she wanted to. Additionally, the nice looking graphs help with monitoring what goes into and out of your computer

Nachteile:

I didn't like how limited the software is. With ease of use usually comes lack of functionality and sadly GlassWire wasn't able to break this cycle.

A must have for metered connections!

Kommentare: GW has helped me take control of my metered connections and prevent programs like email clients and others transmit large volumes of data in the background. A must have for metered connections and as an addon to the security s/w!

Vorteile:

The ability to control all the applications installed in my pc and the data volume they use especially with metered connections. Also, it offers you a real-time protection on top of the security s/w you use without slowing down the connection or the computer.

Nachteile:

Sometimes it needs to be reset - does not start automatically with Win10

GlassWire as a network monitoring software

Kommentare: Its a tool we must have to monitor our network about its usage and to be in alert what applications are using our internet connection and for what??

Vorteile:

First of all GlassWire has a very attractive nice interface. GlassWire make us to see and understand the current usage of our network connection. It gives us a notification when ever there is a new network activity because of this we can be in alert about unwanted network accesses. GlassWire help us to track our data usage of the device. We can see which application is use more data and what are the servers it getting data from. It has a good feature called "Things" it scans our network and tell the details about the devices that are connected to it.

Nachteile:

Its price is little bit high. If the network scanner can scan for the security issues of the network it will be a great help.

Best Network Monitor

Kommentare: The Overall Experience is awesome and glasswire is the application that i kept in my auto start-up when my computer starts. I am using this application on all of my 3 devices which are computer, laptop & on my android smartphone. Even I have suggested this application to my many friends and they are using the same.

Vorteile:

1. Security : It protects your computer from all malicious attacks & it gives you the ability to approve or deny a network connection running on your computer. 2. Convenience : we can check the network without even opening the whole application. It notifies all the changes made to the network. 3. GUI : The Graphical User Interface Is Awesome. The Graphical Speed Chart of Internet Speed gives all Current and past network speed. 4. Built-In Firewall : Already Said the Glasswire firewall Helps us to protect from malicious attacks and gives the ability to approve or deny network connections.

Nachteile:

There are no cons in the application according to me. My Only Suggestion to glasswire team is that the premium prices of basic & pro should be decreased 5-10$.

track your network usage and upgrade your network security

Vorteile:

with a metered connection I had to monitor my usage and that's when GlassWire comes in, the software tracked my data usage helped me analyze my usage like which app used more data and gave me an overview of my usage

Nachteile:

there's no real cons but I found one problem with the software: over two years of using the app I can't remember one significant update / feature added that I can think of, like it's a great software but Lacks new features to be added every now and then

One of the best network monitoring softwares on the market

Kommentare: Overall, Glasswire is a fantastic, easy-to-use network monitoring software with an inbuilt firewall, that gives in-depth information on network usage.

Vorteile:

Glasswire has a beautiful user interface, is easy to install and configure, and allows users to block specific applications from gaining access to the internet.

Nachteile:

Specific important features require users to upgrade to the paid version, therefore the free version can be somewhat limiting.

Simple and effective

Kommentare: I've been a free user for a while and finally decided to convert to a subscription, because I really want to support the team and their great product.

Vorteile:

I've been using it for a long time, because it's proven to be one of the most useful tools you can have on your personal or work computer. It's great for tracking your traffic and detecting intrusions in a simple to use interface.

Nachteile:

The free version of the software does not include a firewall and just provides statistics, but is still great for a free software.

Simply Outstanding

Kommentare: Having my PhD in cybersecurity, this product is simply outstanding and long overdue. I often recommend to my clients for a simple to use, laymans view of the "game behind the game". Well done by the folks at GlassWire - FINALLY an easy tu use, understadn and control interface for the average ( or experienced ) user.

Vorteile:

Simple- one effective pane of glass to see what is really happening Love the Virus total integration Just a job WELL DONE Glasswire-- keep it up !

Nachteile:

I wish, there was more ability to get the PCAP of the offending event when possible for deepr investigation. Ability to collaspe alerts by Date -- so I only see the day I want. Ability to drill down or more interactive graph to investigate anomolous events and traffic

A beautiful interface for something generally so boring.

Kommentare: I've been using GlassWire on Windows for a while and recently ventured into using it on Android as well. The only downside to the android application is that it has to keep a notification open and active in order to run in the background, and I'm not generally a fan of taking up that kind of screen real estate permanently.

Vorteile:

GlassWire looks fantastic, it's easily the best looking firewall software that I've used. It's very easy to use and understand, and the features it provides are incredibly useful. Who knew the firewall could be this good?

Nachteile:

Really the only thing that I am not a fan of is that the software is subscription based, though I can understand why they price it that way.

A great simple firewall

Vorteile:

This does a great job of blocking traffic and presenting all the traffic on a nice clean UI . Everything is easy to access and learn how to use.

Nachteile:

Not really a huge fan of the tiered software options but I understand it. I would rather just pay for a pro version and get all the features but it is most accessible to others at the different price points.

Control your network!

Vorteile:

I use GlassWire to keep my network under control, it allows me to see any new activity that may be suspect, it keeps track of my usage.

Nachteile:

In previous versions I could block any app on the firewall of GlassWire, but lately I noticed that this option is not available anymore and it requires an upgrade. This is a set back for the free version.
