nPO Visualizer Success Story 

“Sniffer Technologies products helped us 

prioritize the order of segments that needed to 

be upgraded. Without it, we may have 

upgraded problems that weren’t part of the Top 

10 list. nPO Visualizer helps you realize that 

what you believe to be true about your network 

might not be the actual reality. Now, because 

we can measure and query nPO Visualizer 

reports, we’ve quit guessing!” 

- network systems analyst at a large, prominent security company 

(industry reference)
