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."As it offers enterprise solutions, it has all the essential features for business."
"It helps us know when a branch is down because it has a graphic presentation of all the locations a node represents."
"The software management tools are very useful for our customers."
"The most helpful feature of SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is bandwidth analysis, which lets you see who's hogging your network."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We value the auto-host discovery, template import, bulk import/export features. Newer versions also add nice features, such as multi-IP per host."
"The product is very stable."
"The solution's design has recently changed and it is visually pleasing with more color, for example, there is blue, black, and white."
"It not only provides the preconfigured item monitoring feature, but it is also easy to configure custom items."
"We like the user-interface for this solution, which makes it an easy to use tool."
"SNMP monitoring, source discovery, and alert triggering are most valuable."
"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 flexibility of this solution is amazing."
"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."
"An area for improvement in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is the dashboarding. The user interface also has room for improvement because it's currently clunky."
"Technical support could be improved with quicker response times."
"It's scalable, but it could be simplified because it's not completely easy."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"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."
"As people always complain about the pricing for SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer, it's an area for improvement in the solution. People find it expensive. Another area for improvement in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is support, as it could be better."
"It's not a cheap product, so the pricing could be improved."
"The event correlation could be better."
"The dashboard and the graph section could be a little bit more professional."
"Zabbix is not easy to configure, and upgrading is also an issue."
"The networking monitor is not too easy to work with."
"They should open an SSH session from the web interface."
"Correlation of events would be a wonderful addition."
"When we have a problem, we have to do a lot of research to solve it."
"The user interface could be a bit better. They could update it a bit."
