A small, convenient tool that is very stable, but needs to have a longer battery life
They could make it easier to set up originally, because the initial setup can be quite hit and miss. It is also quite battery intensive, so it might last a bit longer if it had a lithium battery. You're always having to replace the batteries, so it would be good if it could be USB-charged or something like that.

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.

Cons

"They could make it easier to set up originally, because the initial setup can be quite hit and miss."
"The solution should improve cable testing."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You pay for the device, but you don't have to pay for the app."
"The product is a little bit overpriced."
