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."Its initial setup process is straightforward."
"Network tracking is the most valuable feature of Network Analyzer."
"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."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The solution is useful for monitoring network devices."
"The network monitoring feature, especially, stands out to me."
"It is highly customizable and can be integrated well with third-party software."
"The tool's UI is user-friendly, and pricing is affordable. It is very easy to deploy and learn."
"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."
"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."
"NTA's most valuable feature is traffic analysis and visibility."
"This solution gives us important information about the utilization of protocols, particularly in terms of how often they are used."
"The most helpful feature of SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is bandwidth analysis, which lets you see who's hogging your network."
"What people found most valuable in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is its report customization feature."
"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 bandwidth monitoring functionality is one of the most important features for our customers. When the customer notices that their bandwidth usage is too high for some reason, they will use the traffic analysis within SolarWinds NTA to identify which protocols (e.g. HTTPS) or applications are using up the bandwidth."
"There is room for improvement on the setup side."
"The graphics and reports can be a little bit better."
"I think the reports can be improved. They're adopted."
"The bandwidth for its front-end version needs enhancement."
"It has an old-fashioned interface."
"They need to have some automation models embedded in them."
"Nagios Network Analyzer should integrate an application monitoring solution to monitor application bandwidth usage."
"There are some loopholes you need to be aware of from a security perspective."
"The price of the solution is a bit high for our clients. They should consider adjusting their price model."
"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."
"There is room for improvement when it comes to the traffic generated by the analyzer and the analysis of that traffic."
"It does not flow. It cannot do our metric performance monitoring. So it is very limited. They can do it but in a very limited fashion. It is only good for SNMP-based alerts."
"It's not a cheap product, so the pricing could be improved."
"It's scalable, but it could be simplified because it's not completely easy."
"This solution does not do a very good job when I am trying to look deeper into my internal network, in particular with respect to individual ports."
"The licensing should be more realistic so that we can adjust the number of nodes according to my needs, rather than in fixed increments."
