Claroty Platform vs SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer comparison

"The product helps mitigate potential threats, especially if its users have signature rules. The product also provides alerts."

"I appreciate the active coding, deep inspection of packages, and data retrieval. The tool covers information about assets and attack vectors, which I find superior to other tools. Based on alerts, I create reports detailing how an attacker can penetrate the plant, both externally and internally."

"Claroty provides continuous threat protection and identifies pre-empty stuff and false positives."

"The solution's most valuable feature is the map, which shows everything that is connected and communicates with each other."

"I believe the two main aspects where Claroty stands out are their ability to provide a complete platform and their OT-specific focus."

"Customer service is number one and the best."

"Claroty identifies all vulnerabilities available in our environment."

"The solution offers comprehensive tools that greatly enhance your IT operations if implemented correctly."

"As it offers enterprise solutions, it has all the essential features for business."

"What my organization likes best about SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is its easy deployment. It's also well-integrated in terms of monitoring because my organization also uses a SolarWinds solution for monitoring. You can connect SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer directly to that monitoring tool to get information. My organization also finds the default graphs that appear before the configuration in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer very useful."

"The solution helps manage networks."

"For stability, I would give SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer a rating of ten out of ten."

"The monitoring is perfect, showing you the details for the utilization of resources and network bandwidth."

"What the network team found most valuable in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is that it helps them to troubleshoot or analyze the issue. For example, traffic that comes from our location: India, goes to the US, so for the network team to analyze where the traffic comes from and where it is directed, and whether the packets are being dropped, they use SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer. The network team also likes that through the solution, they can analyze the complete traffic utilization and how they're going to use it. SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is user-friendly. The team finds it comfortable to use."

"We conduct network traffic analysis for a couple of key reasons. First, we look for traffic anomalies, such as unexpected increases or decreases in network traffic within specific segments. This helps us determine if the network needs to be re-architected."

"The most valuable features are the bandwidth analyzer, the monitoring, the network analyzer, it has overall good performance, and an easy deployment."

"There is room for improvement in the user interface to make it more vibrant and interactive, similar to IT tools."

"The product's integration capabilities are an area of concern where improvements are required."

"I think the only issue is that the hardware Claroty uses is expensive."

"There are a few protocols that Claroty doesn't currently support."

"We face issues in the alert investigation area because it does not properly give the alert communication patterns."

"Claroty Platform only gives the vulnerabilities based on the make and model of the devices, so it doesn't provide any resolution or any detailed explanation of how one can resolve such issues."

"If more AI features could be included with the Clarity solution, it would be feasible for everybody."

"Occasionally, I face a login problem despite entering the correct password."

"I would like to see more training videos and additional material for learning how to use this solution."

"It is very slow to pick the dynamics of the network."

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

"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."

"I'm expecting to see a little bit more artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms. They need a bit more sophistication in that."

"Technical support needs improvement."

"SolarWinds' technical support is ok, but it could be faster and more knowledgeable."

"It's a bit expensive compared to other solutions."

"The licensing for physical devices is cheap, but the software version is expensive. The software version costs around 26-28 dollars. I was surprised and even double-checked. It was shocking."

"The tool is quite expensive."

"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."

"While the pricing is fair, it could be better."

"The solution's licensing is high-priced."

"NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is reasonably priced."

"For our environment, we pay approximately $25,000 USD yearly."

"I don't have information on the licensing cost for SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer because it's bundled with another SolarWinds solution. My organization has seven different models and pays for the license yearly. My organization also had to deploy additional pollers, but the cost wasn't very expensive, though I can't give the exact numbers."

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