We performed a comparison between SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer and Statseeker based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Traffic Analysis (NTA) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution's most valuable feature is its traffic analysis."
"This solution gives us important information about the utilization of protocols, particularly in terms of how often they are used."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the bandwidth analyzer, the monitoring, the network analyzer, it has overall good performance, and an easy deployment."
"What people found most valuable in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is its report customization feature."
"The bandwidth monitoring functionality is one of the most important features for our customers. When the customer notices that their bandwidth usage is too high for some reason, they will use the traffic analysis within SolarWinds NTA to identify which protocols (e.g. HTTPS) or applications are using up the bandwidth."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"It doesn't cost too much."
"The most important feature is just the fact that it doesn't aggregate the information up, and I can look at detailed information going back quite a long time."
"Whether it is a down network switch or a down router, we can get back online faster for the customers."
"The solution reduces the complexity of our network monitoring because it can make my engineers do their jobs faster. The solution also reduces troubleshooting time for network administrators to pinpoint issues quicker."
"I like the fact that I can aggregate multiple interfaces into a single graph. It allows me to quickly the summary of traffic for multiple devices which is helpful."
"Statseeker helps to quickly see if you have a spike or something going on. In the future, we need to get NetFlow in the tool so we can see what the IP is."
"We are now able to easily track where problems are with bandwidth and port errors, rather than having to do a lot of diagnostics."
"It also allows us to predict the capacity on WAN circuits, as well as other circuits, to help us plan for upgrading."
"The most valuable feature is alerting."
"It can be complex to set up and configure."
"I would like to see more training videos and additional material for learning how to use this solution."
"One area that we struggle with is the price. Because the price of this solution is so high, we are largely unable to introduce it into the local market, and only the banking sector has the means to afford it."
"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 problem is that SolarWinds is trying to bolt in too much and that can leave bugs, which you have to then sort out, leaving the product unstable. SolarWinds needs to try and slow down and improve the stability of the product, as opposed to bringing out more and more features."
"The licensing should be more realistic so that we can adjust the number of nodes according to my needs, rather than in fixed increments."
"The Atlas module that is used for building the network map is very bad."
"This solution would benefit from having more security-based communications between the actual devices and the software itself."
"I would like to see fully automatic updates so that our version is always current."
"If it had more detailed NetFlow information then it would be far better."
"The user interface needs to be made more intuitive."
"It would be nice if they had twenty-four-hour technical support because we contact Australia and we have to wait for them to open."
"The user interface needs a great deal of improvement."
"The inclusion of configuration management features and SIP links would improve this solution."
"It could use more features on Netflow analyser, such as time series graphs and a single network export UDP port and UDP forwarding."
"It may be helpful to have more options in the alerting section."
