Deep eBPF insights have strengthened cluster security and simplified mesh troubleshooting
The documentation is good, but they could improve in that area. Someone who is new to networking might feel daunted going through all those detailed materials. They could have high-level documentation first, and if anyone wants to deep dive into any areas, they can read more on that. They could segregate the information in the documentation. Documentation is one of the major areas for improvement. Apart from that, the product is quite good. I love it, and everything is good. The AI features are okay. They are still researching and improving in that area, but the guardrails are good, and everything works as expected for now. However, I think it would be good if they improve in that area. I would not say it is 100% correct. Sometimes it does hallucinate, but overall it is good.

Improved network visibility has enabled faster incident resolution and collaborative monitoring
When I open ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer, I start by checking the dashboard for any alerts. There are no features that came up during implementation that I am not using today, and we are happy with whatever we configured. ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer does change how my team works together and improves collaboration. I would advise someone considering ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer that it is a good product, economical, and has a better interface and dashboard to monitor network activity. I give this product a rating of 10.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Isovalent has positively impacted my organization by ensuring that after moving to Isovalent products, we trust the tools we chose for the community, particularly the powerful tools such as Cilium."
"Isovalent is easy to use and very fast to set up all the things, and if I had used other tools instead of Isovalent, it would take maybe one or two days; however, using Isovalent will reduce your time and it completes within one to two hours."
"We have noticed reduced incidents as a specific outcome that shows how things improved."
"Isovalent is a quite good company, and I love their products."
"Using Isovalent's Cilium, I have seen that it will be really helpful for the design and implementation teams who are actually building this cluster and providing it to the end users."
"ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer has detection capabilities for flow, event, and service flow."
"I give this solution a rating of 10 out of 10 and absolutely recommend it based on our experience."
"The impact of ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer on our team's daily operations is immediate, shifting the entire department from a fire-fighting mindset to a proactive management style."
"I would advise someone considering ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer that it is a good product, economical, and has a better interface and dashboard to monitor network activity."
 

Cons

"Sometimes I feel the costing is a bit high, on the higher side."
"In ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer, we have to set custom thresholds to get alerted if there is a problem in network connectivity. It would be helpful if we could automate the tool such that we don't have to set thresholds manually, and the tool automatically alerts us when it detects issues."
"ManageEngine's product has some performance issues. It runs very slowly when the system is large and does not support high availability for big flow and high-level operations."
"The single biggest friction point I experience with ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer comes down to database storage management and disk space explosion, as flow data records literally record every single conversation passing throughout the monitored interfaces."
