* Clear Choice test of eTelemetry's Locate appliance
ETelemetry Locate appliance fills a need but falters in execution
By Mandy Andress
Saddled with increasing support costs and regulatory requirements, many companies may be aided by a tool to map users to IP addresses.
ETelemetry’s Locate appliance correlates users with IP address, MAC address and port information, so that administrators can quickly track down the physical location of a device and the specific user associated with an IP address. In our Clear Choice Test, we found that while Locate fills a significant regulatory hole, it’s still got a few rough edges that need smoothing over.
We recently tested A10 Networks’ IDSentrie, which provides some IP to ID mapping functionality. eTelemetry’s Locate is dedicated to this service and expands the functionality we saw in IDSentrie by adding the ability to associate a network address to a physical network port, integrated support tools and real-time queries.
