Other than troubleshooting, is there much else to do with packet data collected with Wireshark?

Other than troubleshooting specific issue, is there anything else I can do with this data that would be beneficial such as monitoring network performance or detecting other issues automatically?

I'm helping a vendor troubleshoot issues and using wireshark to collect data on several of my controller networks. I'm only minimally involved with networking, but it feels like with hundreds of gigs of network data there would be something cool you could do with it.

I've asked our IT manager and he basically said it's really only for troubleshooting issues.
