I feel that Glasswire is pretty complete, with regard to the network view from a workstation. I use it to look at traffic patterns, firewall activity, as well as to track the other devices that surround the workstation in my home-office network. I haven't pursued any use of detecting suspicious software, other than observing the types of network traffic (ports) that are used. I do utilize pfSense as my home-office firewall and router. It has a fairly complete set of overall network performance reports for the entire network but does not drill down as deeply into an individual machine as Glasswire supports.
