Has almost all the same features. You can set it so its displays current network speed(or just about any network statistic.) Much customization. Uses less memory and it 'quieter' so to speak. - GlassWire is a network security monitoring tool and analyzer that visualizes your network activity on an easy to use graph, alerts you of possible threats, manages your firewall, and more.
