"From a security standpoint, it is just seeing pockets as well. Visibility is very key for us."
"The most valuable features are encrypted threat analysis and the ability to run jobs on entire flows."
"The artificial intelligence and automatic detection system in Flowmon Solution are perfect for every, type of customer, such as government and commerce."

"If there was better visualization in Flowmon Solution it would be good."
"It would be helpful to have more details about the monitoring of the infrastructure. It should have support for SNMP. This is something that is currently not there in the product."
