Advanced Network Analytics for a Greater Understanding

of Usage and Behavior
Allot’s advanced reporting and analytics dashboards tell the story of your network and applications use for the decision-makers in
your organization. Real-time monitoring, usage metrics, QoE, and online behavior dashboards help you visualize application, user, and
endpoint traffic, analyze their impact on network performance, and rapidly troubleshoot issues. Dashboard reports are interrelated and
interactive. Drilling down, or changing the data fields of one report, instantly updates and refreshes the display of the other reports in
the dashboard. It’s easy to customize dashboard views, so the data you want is always at your fingertips.

Granular Traffic Control

The Allot Application Control Gateway allows you to virtually partition LAN, WAN, and Internet resources so that users and applications no
longer compete with one another for bandwidth and high quality of Digital Experience.
The highly granular visibility provided by Allot allows you to act with the same level of granularity to maintain optimal network efficiency
and high application performance. Powerful policy tools and intuitive UI help you define and enforce Acceptable Use Policy and prioritize
applications that are critical to your business. For example, to improve user experience, you can dedicate minimum bandwidth to collaboration
applications or prioritize real-time point-of-sale and inventory transactions over non- essential traffic. Likewise, you can block access to
shadow IT or limit the use of recreational apps that could impact network and data security.
Alerts are automatically being created and sent, to authorized users, upon any degradation in users’ Digital Experience or applications
availability, in order prompt action will be taken prior any complaints from end users.

Key control capabilities include:

o  Actionable alarms: you can block access to shadow IT or limit its
o  QoS policy management bandwidth
o  Supporting a massive number of dynamic traffic policies o  Identification the use of recreational apps that could impact
o  Threshold-based enforcement (e.g., CER, live connections) network and data security.

Dynamic Actionable Recognition Technology (DART)

Allot’s DART engine, embedded in the platform, powered by advanced ML&AI algorithms, inspects every single packet and classifies traffic
per application, user, IP address, location, and by any static or dynamic policy element you define. Allot’s extensive signature library identifies
thousands of web applications and protocols and also supports user-defined signatures. Automated DART protocol pack updates from the
Allot cloud keep your deployment up to date with the latest application and web developments to ensure accurate traffic classification.

Powerful Policy Control

Allot’s Enforcement Policy Editor allows you

to define traffic-management policies that
link network and application performance
to business goals and user expectations.
An intuitive, hierarchical framework makes
it easy to define dynamic QoS enforcement
policies that will be triggered automatically
as traffic conditions change. A policy may
include any combination of access, priority,
bandwidth allocation, shaping, steering,
and blocking actions to be applied to
application and user traffic.
