See what alerts alone can't tell you.

Use NetFlow, IPFIX, and sFlow data to discover what's generating the most traffic on your network, how devices communicate, and where unusual activity occurs. All with Sycope Free, at no license cost.

See what you can discover

To get started, you'll need a VMware or Proxmox environment and a device that exports NetFlow, IPFIX, or sFlow data.

Monitoring shows that something is happening, but not always why.

Traffic is increasing and you don't know where it's coming from.

Bandwidth usage is rising, but it's still unclear which devices and connections are responsible for the congestion.

An alert doesn't tell the whole story.

You receive a security alert, but lack visibility into the host's previous activity and its connections to other systems.

Your asset inventory doesn't always reflect what's on your network.

You have an asset list, but can't be sure it includes every device actually communicating within the monitored network segment.

These insights may already be available in the traffic data generated by your infrastructure.
Sycope Free helps you analyze that data without installing agents on endpoints.

Discover what Sycope Free can reveal about your network

From troubleshooting congested links to investigating suspicious communication. Explore four practical ways to use data from your own infrastructure.

Your network link is congested, and you need to find the cause.

Monitoring shows high bandwidth utilization, but doesn't tell you which devices and connections are driving the increase. With Sycope, you can analyze network traffic instead of searching through multiple systems.
Identify the hosts generating the most traffic (Top Talkers).
Examine IP addresses, ports, traffic directions, and data volumes.
Analyze changes in traffic patterns over time.

Your benefit: Quickly narrow down the source of congestion and identify which devices or connections need further investigation.

More practical use cases

Discover devices missing from your asset inventory.

See which devices are actually communicating on your monitored network, including those missing from your documentation.

Your benefit: Easily identify unknown assets and verify whether they belong in your infrastructure.

Investigate unusual communication with external IP addresses.

Analyze which hosts establish connections outside your organization, which IP addresses they communicate with, and how frequently they exchange data.

Your benefit: Get additional context to assess suspicious activity without relying on a single alert.

Look back at network traffic before an incident was detected.

Review a host's historical network communication and trace its activity within the available data retention period (up to 14 days with Sycope Free).

Your benefit: Reconstruct the sequence of events and understand what happened before the issue was detected.

What to know about free version?

I have to say, we were pleasantly surprised by Sycope. It's not often that you find a system that can be up and running in just one day, but that was the case with Sycope. The installation and integration process was a breeze, and we had no issues getting it to work seamlessly with our other systems.

We were looking for a solution that would enable us to monitor the entire network while also serving as a data source for our SIEM system. A crucial criterium taken into account when choosing a solution was its flexibility and the possibility of independently adapting analytical dashboards to provide quick access to necessary information. The Sycope system perfectly met our needs, allowing us to optimize the operating costs of our current SIEM as well.
