We performed a comparison between ManageEngine OpManager and SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The solution gives pretty good network visibility. I am also impressed with it's monitoring."
"The setup was easy."
"The product provides intensive reports."
"We find the networking aspect of this solution to be the most valuable."
"The solution is easy to deploy. It's also easy to manage and monitor the environment. Instead of being reactive, it's proactive."
"The alerting feature has improved our organization. We can create multiple alerts and refine them to how we need to use them."
"The traffic monitoring and the traffic analysis are great."
"We use the solution to monitor links. It also helps us to track servers and monitor logs."
"The performance analysis is a valuable feature. With the performance analyzer, we can see the realtime monitoring, the realtime performance, and historical performance on specific components like virtualization storage, CPU, servers and network equipment."
"This solution gives us important information about the utilization of protocols, particularly in terms of how often they are used."
"It helps us know when a branch is down because it has a graphic presentation of all the locations a node represents."
"What I like about SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is that it's useful for analyzing traffic. It also has an application visibility feature that lets you control applications."
"I would rate NetFlow Traffic Analyzer's stability ten out of ten."
"With SolarWinds, we are now able to accurately gauge bandwidth consumption."
"The most helpful feature of SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is bandwidth analysis, which lets you see who's hogging your network."
"What people found most valuable in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is its report customization feature."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"With regard to configurations, however, it would be nice to have more documentation on SNMP configurations. For example, if I want to add a new vendor, it would be great if ManageEngine provided the requirements for that vendor, such as the commands needed."
"We have been facing an issue since last year when a lot of our users started to work from home through their mobiles or computers. We are having trouble reaching these devices. We are now planning to publish our instance to the cloud so that we can reach these devices. Its performance should be improved in terms of the discovery of the devices. I would like to feel confident with the discovery that this solution does. For example, on my dashboard, I would like to be able to view a list of all devices seen on a specific server. At present, it is difficult to find such information. This would be an excellent feature to have."
"The solution's reports need to include the number of applications consumed."
"You cannot resolve 100 percent of the issues yourself. You would need to reach out to the support. It needs to be cheaper."
"It would be great if there were some sort of artificial intelligence feature which would help us make improvements in the network once we find an issue, and do it automatically."
"The licensing for this solution is not straightforward and should be improved."
"We had some stability issues at the outset that have since been resolved."
"The storage level monitoring needs improvement. It needs storage level monitoring on the server itself. That feature is lacking right now."
"The pricing is expensive."
"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 would like to see more artificial intelligence 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."
"Technical support could be improved with quicker response times."
"NTA's documentation for the implementation phase needs some enhancement."
"Customer Support is quite complex."
"This solution would benefit from having more security-based communications between the actual devices and the software itself."
