We performed a comparison between Nagios Network Analyzer and SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer 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 tool's UI is user-friendly, and pricing is affordable. It is very easy to deploy and learn."
"I have found that it has a good GUI and user-friendly administration."
"Network tracking is the most valuable feature of Network Analyzer."
"The solution offers very good system monitoring. It's easy to manage your network, as well as your hardware and software. It's really useful."
"It is highly customizable and can be integrated well with third-party software."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The solution is useful for monitoring network devices."
"Its initial setup process is straightforward."
"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."
"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 most valuable feature is the ability to look for any increases in bandwidth over time so that we can plan before it becomes critical."
"It helps us know when a branch is down because it has a graphic presentation of all the locations a node represents."
"The most helpful feature of SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is bandwidth analysis, which lets you see who's hogging your network."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The most valuable features are the bandwidth analyzer, the monitoring, the network analyzer, it has overall good performance, and an easy deployment."
"With SolarWinds, we are now able to accurately gauge bandwidth consumption."
"The bandwidth for its front-end version needs enhancement."
"There is room for improvement on the setup side."
"Nagios Network Analyzer should integrate an application monitoring solution to monitor application bandwidth usage."
"It has an old-fashioned interface."
"I think the reports can be improved. They're adopted."
"It's very hard to install materials. You need a lot of documentation. They should make it easier to install and configure the solution."
"They need to have some automation models embedded in them."
"The graphics and reports can be a little bit better."
"The price of the solution is a bit high for our clients. They should consider adjusting their price model."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see better customization capabilities."
"I'm expecting to see a little bit more artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms. They need a bit more sophistication in that."
