We have been using this solution for many years, and we don't have any problem with this solution.""It doesn't cost too much.""For stability, I would give SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer a rating of ten out of ten."

"This solution would benefit from having more security-based communications between the actual devices and the software itself.""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.""NTA's documentation for the implementation phase needs some enhancement.""The solution needs better log management and log coordination with tools.""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 licensing should be more realistic so that we can adjust the number of nodes according to my needs, rather than in fixed increments.""Technical support could be improved with quicker response times.""I would like to see more artificial intelligence capabilities."

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