"I'm satisfied with ScienceLogicfor for what they can offer today because they can offer both serverless connectivity and agent connectivity."
"Best feature of all is detailed monitoring of services, processes, ports and SSL certificates and or web content."
"It is very easy to configure because we are using an agent-less version. You can very quickly implement a collector for monitoring device servers."
"It has good monitoring capabilities across cloud environments, data centers, and hybrid environments."
"Power packs."
"It helps us know when a branch is down because it has a graphic presentation of all the locations a node represents."
"The integration with other SolarWinds products is good."
"What the network team found most valuable in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is that it helps them to troubleshoot or analyze the issue. For example, traffic that comes from our location: India, goes to the US, so for the network team to analyze where the traffic comes from and where it is directed, and whether the packets are being dropped, they use SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer. The network team also likes that through the solution, they can analyze the complete traffic utilization and how they're going to use it. SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is user-friendly. The team finds it comfortable to use."
"What I like about SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is that it's useful for analyzing traffic. It also has an application visibility feature that lets you control applications."
"I like that it is able to monitor multiple devices and it's vendor-agnostic."
"I would rate NetFlow Traffic Analyzer's stability ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features are the bandwidth analyzer, the monitoring, the network analyzer, it has overall good performance, and an easy deployment."
"The monitoring is perfect, showing you the details for the utilization of resources and network bandwidth."
"One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"They should add CLI command modes and scripts for high performance."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"Addressing duplicate IPs: There is the ability to edit the DB and fix this, but adding some logic to understand them would be a plus."
"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
"They should improve their support process and add chat."
"It was challenging onboarding users."
"Technical support could be improved with quicker response times."
"If your network is on SolarWinds, and you notice that the traffic is bad because it says "user downloading a heavy file," it doesn't indicate which endpoint is downloading those heavy files. SolarWinds doesn't have the tools to be able to handle this kind of situation. You can just notice through your network device that the traffic is becoming overwhelming or heavy, but you cannot go inside and get more details related to the endpoint where it is happening. We would like SolarWinds to be able to handle this kind of situation and even manage the traffic inside a network from the endpoint to the network device. These would be good enhancements. It is mostly stable. The problem comes only when we want to add another SolarWinds model. SolarWinds has so many models, and sometimes when we want to add other models on the platforms that are reserved for our firm, it freezes. When this happens, we have to create a new VM for that model."
"The pricing is expensive."
"The price of the solution is a bit high for our clients. They should consider adjusting their price model."
"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 is room for improvement when it comes to the traffic generated by the analyzer and the analysis of that traffic."
"Customer Support is quite complex."
"As people always complain about the pricing for SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer, it's an area for improvement in the solution. People find it expensive. Another area for improvement in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is support, as it could be better."
