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 solution's most valuable feature is its traffic analysis."
"For managing the traffic, it provides you a response about whether the traffic is down, up, or heavy, which is a very powerful feature. It has a good response time. We have been using this solution for many years, and we don't have any problem with this solution."
"The monitoring is perfect, showing you the details for the utilization of resources and network 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."
"As it offers enterprise solutions, it has all the essential features for business."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"With SolarWinds, we are now able to accurately gauge bandwidth consumption."
"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."
"The solution is stable."
"We are able to monitor our virtual infrastructure, virtual machines, windows servers, databases, and the network using a simple network management protocol. We are able to pull almost all the metrics that we want, receive notifications, and have them integrate with telegrams for certain devices that are critical, such as UPSs."
"The integration with third-party tools and the alerts are most valuable."
"It's a very reliable platform and we've never had any issues regarding the scalability or the stability of Zabbix."
"We like the user-interface for this solution, which makes it an easy to use tool."
"Our customers also like that they don't have to use multiple modules. Micro Focus and major vendors typically require you to buy several modules and plugins. Our customers do not like that. We offer them a single product for all their monitoring needs."
"The most valuable feature is the support for monitoring Cisco switches."
"It can send messages to our ticketing system."
"I'm expecting to see a little bit more artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms. They need a bit more sophistication in that."
"I would like to see more training videos and additional material for learning how to use this 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."
"It is a scalable solution, but it is costly to scale. Therefore, I would rate scalability at eight out of ten."
"The licensing should be more realistic so that we can adjust the number of nodes according to my needs, rather than in fixed increments."
"What needs improvement in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is performance because sometimes, my team struggles too much for the solution to perform correctly for a specific deployment in my organization. Having a more detailed view in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is another area for improvement, but that's more part of the protocol than the actual solution."
"They should work on the configuration of the Log Analyzer feature."
"One area that we struggle with is the price. Because the price of this solution is so high, we are largely unable to introduce it into the local market, and only the banking sector has the means to afford it."
"The documentation could be improved."
"As far as improvements, sometimes I get a bit frustrated when I move from a previous version to a new one because some configuration has changed—I need to investigate the documentation to deal with some configuration. But it doesn't take much time, so it's okay."
"They should open an SSH session from the web interface."
"I would like to remotely connect to the computer, and Zabbix doesn't have this capability."
"It could be more stable."
"Having a more customizable interface and dashboard would be an improvement."
"The only improvement I would suggest, revolves around its AI and ML capabilities."
"In terms of user-friendliness, large maps could be more interactive. We should be able to click on some areas and move some objects. It would make it simpler to see things while analyzing some dedicated parameters."
