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."Network tracking is the most valuable feature of Network Analyzer."
"The network monitoring feature, especially, stands out to me."
"The tool's UI is user-friendly, and pricing is affordable. It is very easy to deploy and learn."
"The initial setup is easy."
"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 solution is useful for monitoring network devices."
"I have found that it has a good GUI and user-friendly administration."
"The most valuable feature is the alarm that is set up to trigger based on bandwidth utilization."
"The program is scalable enough for our usage."
"The monitoring is perfect, showing you the details for the utilization of resources and network bandwidth."
"What I like the most is the bandwidth assessment."
"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."
"With SolarWinds, we are now able to accurately gauge bandwidth consumption."
"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."
"NTA's most valuable feature is traffic analysis and visibility."
"The bandwidth for its front-end version needs enhancement."
"Nagios Network Analyzer should integrate an application monitoring solution to monitor application bandwidth usage."
"It has an old-fashioned interface."
"They need to have some automation models embedded in them."
"I think the reports can be improved. They're adopted."
"The graphics and reports can be a little bit better."
"There is room for improvement on the setup side."
"It's very hard to install materials. You need a lot of documentation. They should make it easier to install and configure the solution."
"I would like to see more training videos and additional material for learning how to use this solution."
"The solution needs better log management and log coordination with tools."
"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."
"Technical support could be improved with quicker response times."
"NTA's documentation for the implementation phase needs some enhancement."
"It is very slow to pick the dynamics of the network."
"There is room for improvement when it comes to the traffic generated by the analyzer and the analysis of that traffic."
"It is a scalable solution, but it is costly to scale. Therefore, I would rate scalability at eight out of ten."
