Find out in this report how the two Network Traffic Analysis (NTA) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Its initial setup process is straightforward."
"The solution offers very good system monitoring. It's easy to manage your network, as well as your hardware and software. It's really useful."
"The solution is useful for monitoring network devices."
"I have found that it has a good GUI and user-friendly administration."
"It is highly customizable and can be integrated well with third-party software."
"The tool's UI is user-friendly, and pricing is affordable. It is very easy to deploy and learn."
"The network monitoring feature, especially, stands out to me."
"Network tracking is the most valuable feature of Network Analyzer."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its traffic analysis."
"The dashboard alerts me when a critical device goes off the network."
"I would rate NetFlow Traffic Analyzer's stability ten out of ten."
"The program is scalable enough for our usage."
"The software management tools are very useful for our customers."
"It is great at telling you if your devices are working and it keeps an eye on your network's overall performance."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"In terms of the implementation, we've actually used SAM, the server and application monitoring tools. The network configuration tools are very useful in terms of bulk upgrading switches and infrastructure. Also, the Network Traffic Analyzer was extremely useful to track down errant users soaking up bandwidth."
"The graphics and reports can be a little bit better."
"The bandwidth for its front-end version needs enhancement."
"Nagios Network Analyzer should integrate an application monitoring solution to monitor application bandwidth usage."
"They need to have some automation models embedded in them."
"I think the reports can be improved. They're adopted."
"It has an old-fashioned interface."
"There is room for improvement on the setup side."
"There are some loopholes you need to be aware of from a security perspective."
"It does not flow. It cannot do our metric performance monitoring. So it is very limited. They can do it but in a very limited fashion. It is only good for SNMP-based alerts."
"The problem is that SolarWinds is trying to bolt in too much and that can leave bugs, which you have to then sort out, leaving the product unstable. SolarWinds needs to try and slow down and improve the stability of the product, as opposed to bringing out more and more features."
"As people always complain about the pricing for SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer, it's an area for improvement in the solution. People find it expensive. Another area for improvement in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is support, as it could be better."
"This solution would benefit from having more security-based communications between the actual devices and the software itself."
"An area for improvement in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is application visibility because some applications aren't being recognized correctly. You can see applications such as Facebook and YouTube, but SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer needs to have more visibility into more applications. Currently, SolarWinds fails to detect more powerful applications, such as Zoom and Teams. If SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer can recognize every application and be able to report on each in terms of bandwidth, then that would be good. This is what I'd like to see in the next release of the solution."
"This solution does not do a very good job when I am trying to look deeper into my internal network, in particular with respect to individual ports."
"The pricing is expensive."
"The price of the solution is a bit high for our clients. They should consider adjusting their price model."
