You can connect SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer directly to that monitoring tool to get information. My organization also finds the default graphs that appear before the configuration in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer very useful."
"It would be useful if there was a way to check to see if there are certain devices that are not in sync with the solution. I'm not sure if this is an option or not."
"The level of tracking within the network from the transmission level up to the machine level can use improvement."
"A reporting portal could be a great addition to help customize reports."
"Upper management wasn't sold on the value proposition."

"The user interface and the configuration are a bit complex and should be improved or simplified."
"Darktrace does not have any capabilities to configure."
"The pricing is a bit high for the region."
"This solution does not do a very good job when I am trying to look deeper into my internal network, in particular with respect to individual ports."
"The solution needs better log management and log coordination with tools."

"SolarWinds' technical support is ok, but it could be faster and more knowledgeable."
"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."
"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."
"It is very slow to pick the dynamics of the network."
