Can anyone recommend an excellent network visibility tool for use in the Oil & Gas industry (upstream operations)?

Hi Baishola, I am relatively new to this field, (and was wondering about the same question for Higher education actually).

Would a company like Akamai have potential solutions for you? I believe they are active in the Gulf, where there is a lot of oil an gas -but this would perhaps be more in the form of a service. I know they also run cloud solutions. Depending on your network, this might be of interest?

Check also the pages of Nexthink (who also provided services for an oil and gas company in the Middle East). On the page below, they list a series of tools, some open source for network visibility.

Hi,
that’s a topic I am into lately as well. I am just in a different area (ecommerce) and would like to know, if there is a tool to monitor traffic through various incoming and outgoing ports on all of my servers. Does AWS or Google Compute Engine offer a service like that maybe?

Thanks,
Florian

ThousandEyes is one option – https://www.thousandeyes.com/.
Most of the cloud providers have inbuilt metrics collection for networks, you may want to explore that too.

If you want to understand and gain visibility into the virtual environment, VMware have a netflow capture tool called vRealize Network Insight which helps understand application dependencies

Can you gain visibility to any network regardless how complex the network?

BitLyft is a viable option https://www.bitlyft.com/energy/

I would recommend you try out Netmon from LogRhythm. There is a free version, but of course they want you to go Premium.
