Compare Active Wall vs. ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer

Active Wall employs independently developed middle layer drivers as its filter engines, providing a more low-level approach compared to other software that relies on WinPCap. Unlike WinPCap, which is a protocol-type driver limited to monitoring without blocking capabilities, other software utilizing WinPCap can only block TCP communications, leaving UDP, ICMP, and IGMP packets unaddressed. Extensive online usage has demonstrated that Active Wall is more stable, accurate, and effective over time. In contrast to most similar applications that only offer a single Passby monitoring mode, Active Wall provides multiple operational modes, including Gateway, Bridge, and Single modes. Users are advised to utilize either the Gateway or Bridge modes for optimal functionality. While the Passby mode restricts Active Wall's ability to block only TCP packets due to network topology limitations, the Gateway and Bridge modes empower it to block all types of data packets effectively. This versatility makes Active Wall a comprehensive solution for network management and security.
