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."
"Its initial setup process is straightforward."
"The solution is useful for monitoring network devices."
"It is highly customizable and can be integrated well with third-party software."
"I have found that it has a good GUI and user-friendly administration."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The tool's UI is user-friendly, and pricing is affordable. It is very easy to deploy and learn."
"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."
"The dashboard alerts me when a critical device goes off the network."
"What people found most valuable in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is its report customization feature."
"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 most helpful feature of SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is bandwidth analysis, which lets you see who's hogging your network."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its traffic analysis."
"For stability, I would give SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer a rating of ten out of ten."
"It is great at telling you if your devices are working and it keeps an eye on your network's overall performance."
"It has an old-fashioned interface."
"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 think the reports can be improved. They're adopted."
"The graphics and reports can be a little bit better."
"The bandwidth for its front-end version needs enhancement."
"They need to have some automation models embedded in them."
"Nagios Network Analyzer should integrate an application monitoring solution to monitor application bandwidth usage."
"The pricing is expensive."
"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."
"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 artificial intelligence capabilities."
"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."
"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."
"It's not a cheap product, so the pricing could be improved."
"It is very slow to pick the dynamics of the network."
