Broadcom Network Flow Analysis vs SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer comparison

"This solution has helped our organization by allowing us to have visibility. We deal with cybersecurity, so visibility is very important."

"It is an overall stable solution."

"SolarWinds has improved our organization because whenever a device is down, we get an alert."

"The integration with other SolarWinds products is good."

"I would rate NetFlow Traffic Analyzer's stability ten out of ten."

"This solution gives us important information about the utilization of protocols, particularly in terms of how often they are used."

"What people found most valuable in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is its report customization feature."

"What I like about SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is that it's useful for analyzing traffic. It also has an application visibility feature that lets you control applications."

"The support is excellent."

"It allows us to pinpoint which protocol is overloading the link."

"Currently, Broadcom Network Flow Analysis does not support high-availability solutions, making it an area that needs improvement."

"I would like to see more security features, like a lost protection package."

"The price of the solution is a bit high for our clients. They should consider adjusting their price model."

"The licensing should be more realistic so that we can adjust the number of nodes according to my needs, rather than in fixed increments."

"The solution needs better log management and log coordination with tools."

"The solution should improve its automation feature. It's quite limited compared to other products."

"SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer could improve its flexibility and integration with AI to provide analytics beyond just showing up/down statuses and traffic volumes."

"The Atlas module that is used for building the network map is very bad."

"It can be complex to set up and configure."

"The tool itself is very complicated, so training is required to handle it effectively."

"If you make a DX NetOps-based purchase and the complete suite of products that fall under DX NetOps from Broadcom, then you get Network Flow Analysis along with DX NetOps Performance Management and DX Spectrum."

"Pricing for SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is very high. I have a customer that needs the solution but doesn't have the budget for SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer because the problem is that you can't use the solution only. You have to buy requirements such as the SolarWinds NPM first, and some companies don't have the budget for all the required components and modules. SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer can cost up to $10,000, and some customers don't have that budget. Another product has all the modules that SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer has, with a very low price, that can be a replacement, which is ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer. PRTG is another solution that can replace SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer."

"The price of this solution is exceptional."

"SolarWinds' pricing structure is the primary reason why some customers opt for another solution such as ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer. In NTA, you are charged per port, meaning that if you have a 24-port switch you will be charged for 24 individual nodes. ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer, on the other hand, charges per switch, such that if you add a switch, the entire switch will count as one single node."

"We have licenses for SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer. In terms of pricing, its license is not that expensive versus other tools such as HP."

"Licensing for SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is paid yearly, and there are no additional costs that you need to pay apart from the standard licensing fees because you don't need to purchase another solution to make SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer work. Pricing for SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is more expensive than other solutions."

"We pay yearly, and we are happy with its price."

"NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is reasonably priced."

"The licensing for this solution is based on the number of nodes."
