We performed a comparison between SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer and Zabbix 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 most valuable feature is the ability to look for any increases in bandwidth over time so that we can plan before it becomes critical."
"SolarWinds has improved our organization because whenever a device is down, we get an alert."
"I would rate NetFlow Traffic Analyzer's stability ten out of ten."
"The monitoring is perfect, showing you the details for the utilization of resources and network bandwidth."
"With SolarWinds, we are now able to accurately gauge bandwidth consumption."
"The software management tools are very useful for our customers."
"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."
"I have found that the reporting feature in Zabbix is most valuable. Additionally, the solution has given us bandwidth options, we are able to see where problems are. For example, we noticed a problem that occurred because of a bad interface going in the wireless VLAN."
"They've already added extra features, such as noise-canceling and facial recognition, which is great."
"It has an intuitive UI with beautiful graphs and customizable maps."
"Zabbix can use old data to current data to set the threshold. We can use previous data to set the threshold."
"The initial setup, while not simple, is easier than other products."
"Zabbix helps to save time."
"The pricing of the product is reasonable."
"I'm supervising all the IT departments, and Zabbix seems quite good for them. It provides graphics and information in real time. We get alerts about crashes on the system, enabling us to quickly repair issues. We can easily find devices with problems."
"It can be complex to set up and configure."
"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 is room for improvement when it comes to the traffic generated by the analyzer and the analysis of that traffic."
"It's not a cheap product, so the pricing could be improved."
"The solution needs better log management and log coordination with tools."
"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 a scalable solution, but it is costly to scale. Therefore, I would rate scalability at eight out of ten."
"The pricing is expensive."
"One of the things we don't like is that Zabbix has a license structure with a price that is high compared to the competition. It's very high, for example, compared to something like Microsoft Teams."
"If Zabbix had a better dashboard then it would be nice."
"Implementation is always tailored to the customer and the kind of information we need from the client to carry it out can make them very uncomfortable. Sometimes the clients are not ready to share it."
"We would like to monitor other touchpoints such as ATM machines. It would be great if it can provide monitoring of ATM machines. Compatibility with other products would also be great."
"The reports are not great and should be improved."
"I would like to remotely connect to the computer, and Zabbix doesn't have this capability."
"Look and feel."
"It would be helpful if they translated the documentation to Cyrillic languages."
