"I like that it is able to monitor multiple devices and it's vendor-agnostic."
"The dashboard alerts me when a critical device goes off the network."
"NTA's most valuable feature is traffic analysis and visibility."
"In terms of the implementation, we've actually used SAM, the server and application monitoring tools. The network configuration tools are very useful in terms of bulk upgrading switches and infrastructure. Also, the Network Traffic Analyzer was extremely useful to track down errant users soaking up bandwidth."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"What people found most valuable in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is its report customization feature."
"ThousandEyes gives companies better visibility."
"The authentication overall - including to the VPN and LAN - is excellent."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution was the ability to see how the connection quality is between the sites and get an alert if it was turning bad."

"The most valuable features are integration and ease of use."
"From our perspective, ThousandEyes stands out as an invaluable tool because of its deep and extensive capabilities."
"The pricing is expensive."
"I'm expecting to see a little bit more artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms. They need a bit more sophistication in that."
"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."
"What needs improvement in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is performance because sometimes, my team struggles too much for the solution to perform correctly for a specific deployment in my organization. Having a more detailed view in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is another area for improvement, but that's more part of the protocol than the actual solution."
"It's not a cheap product, so the pricing could be improved."
"It is a scalable solution, but it is costly to scale. Therefore, I would rate scalability at eight out of ten."
"SolarWinds' technical support is ok, but it could be faster and more knowledgeable."
"They should work on the configuration of the Log Analyzer feature."
"It would be nice if the solution covered other areas like server monitoring."
"I would like the product to offer more agility."
"Presently, it lacks the ability to integrate with other Cisco products."
"There is room for improvement in terms of customization and user-friendliness."
"ThousandEyes could improve the dashboards by adding more features."
"It might be practical to extend monitoring capabilities to include network devices"
"The guest portal is hard to use."
"They only offer synthetic requests."
