SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer could have better integration with third-party tools, licensing flexibility, enhanced AI and application visibility, user-friendly dashboards, and improved technical support. Users experience expensive pricing, complex setup, and limited automation features. Reporting, data granularity, and mapping accuracy need refinement. Security features, training resources, documentation, and performance require improvement. The system could benefit from better traffic analysis, monitoring capabilities, and responsiveness to high-priority issues, reducing the response time from technical support.
- "The licensing model of SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is always an issue for users because competitors offer unlimited and perpetual licenses, and SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer's model is quite costly compared to other brands."
- "Deployment needs improvement. The process is complicated, requiring attention to infrastructure settings and installation of components like the origin application server, platform, close storage, and policy agents."
- "Currently, it shows only the top ten applications or ports in use, while the remaining data appears as 'remaining traffic,' causing confusion."
