| Principal Consultant at KyndleIT Consulting | 4.0 | I use Broadcom Network Flow Analysis to monitor traffic flow and protocol classification in my company. It effectively measures bandwidth utilization and manages SLAs and QoS metrics, although it lacks support for high-availability solutions. |
| SI Engineer at a tech vendor with 201-500 employees | 3.5 | I value its custom reports and data presentation for customer monitoring. I wish for a more user-friendly dashboard, as custom reports sometimes jam, needing support (5/10). Basic NetFlow knowledge is required. |
| IT Consultant at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees | 4.5 | I've used this solution for 7 years, finding its custom reporting, flow forensics, and traffic alerts very valuable. Setup was quick, and I experienced no stability or scalability issues. Enhanced API support would be my main improvement. |
| CCS at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees | 4.5 | I find the drill-down features and utilization charts invaluable for network troubleshooting. Although customer service is poor and setup was complex, I recommend this product for its rich real-time traffic data and flexible presentation, despite not using all features. |
| Works at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees | 4.5 | I found the Anomaly Detector valuable for traffic analysis. Setup is simple but costly, with harvester capacity limiting scalability. I only recommend it for vast flow analysis, as expensive licenses are unsuitable for limited scopes. |
| IT Specialist at a tech services company with 201-500 employees | 4.0 | I primarily use Broadcom Network Flow Analysis for bucket flow visibility. The solution offers valuable features like bucketful visibility options and easy deployment. However, it could benefit from additional security features, such as a lost protection package. |
