"We use the solution to meet the needs of the customer."
"Good end-to-end monitoring"
"The integration with other SolarWinds products is good."
"The program is scalable enough for our usage."
"What I like the most is the bandwidth assessment."
"The monitoring is perfect, showing you the details for the utilization of resources and network bandwidth."
"It helps us know when a branch is down because it has a graphic presentation of all the locations a node represents."
"For stability, I would give SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer a rating of ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the alarm that is set up to trigger based on bandwidth utilization."
"What people found most valuable in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is its report customization feature."
"The solution should have automatic baseline detection."
"All the features and functions of the solution can be improved."
"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."
"I would like to see better customization capabilities."
"There are some areas for improvement in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer. There are some challenges with the solution when compared to other monitoring tools such as difficulty in operations and difficulty with backup installation. My team is currently trying out different solutions but would need to see how it goes."
"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."
"If your network is on SolarWinds, and you notice that the traffic is bad because it says "user downloading a heavy file," it doesn't indicate which endpoint is downloading those heavy files. SolarWinds doesn't have the tools to be able to handle this kind of situation. You can just notice through your network device that the traffic is becoming overwhelming or heavy, but you cannot go inside and get more details related to the endpoint where it is happening. We would like SolarWinds to be able to handle this kind of situation and even manage the traffic inside a network from the endpoint to the network device. These would be good enhancements. It is mostly stable. The problem comes only when we want to add another SolarWinds model. SolarWinds has so many models, and sometimes when we want to add other models on the platforms that are reserved for our firm, it freezes. When this happens, we have to create a new VM for that model."
"It is very slow to pick the dynamics of the network."
"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."
"Customer Support is quite complex."
