UI overview

Plixer Scrutinizer is equipped with a extensive feature set that allows it to transform raw network flow data into timely, accurate, and fully contextualized intelligence for modern NetOps and SecOps teams.

The Plixer Scrutinizer web interface acts as the system’s primary console and is divided into four main sections/tabs corresponding to essential NetOps and SecOps workflows, plus an administration tab for environment configuration and management.
