The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the complete flow analysis can be identified through the tool. The classification of each protocol and how the bandwidth utilization is happening with the protocols while managing to get SLAs, IP protocols, and QoS metrics is possible because of the product.

All drill-down features and the utilization calendar chart. Quick way to find time period when the router interface is most utilized and to troubleshoot further by zooming into that period with a smaller level of resolution (1 minute) to find out which applications or/and users are generating the most traffic.

I have found three features to be most valuable: custom reporting, flow forensics, and traffic alerts by Trap SNMP.

Custom reporting – We can add filters by interface, port, and host.

Flow forensic – We can play with all fields-of-flow versions (Netflow v5 ,v9 . ipfix, sflow, etc.). We run quick reports to detect intrusions or traffic malware.

Traffic alerts by Trap SNMP - I can set 4 threshold types: utilization, rate, volume, and flow.

The custom report is the most valuable feature. Because network flow analysis is a very common tool, I can easily find a free NFA tool through the internet. However, the only difference between them and this solution is how they present the data that they receive.
