Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is the fault management monitoring.""The pricing is relatively low compared to other solutions in this area. I'd go so far as to say it's even significantly less than the competition."

More CA Application Delivery Analysis [EOL] Pros →

"As it offers enterprise solutions, it has all the essential features for business.""It is great at telling you if your devices are working and it keeps an eye on your network's overall performance.""What my organization likes best about SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is its easy deployment. It's also well-integrated in terms of monitoring because my organization also uses a SolarWinds solution for monitoring. You can connect SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer directly to that monitoring tool to get information. My organization also finds the default graphs that appear before the configuration in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer very useful.""SolarWinds has improved our organization because whenever a device is down, we get an alert.""With SolarWinds, we are now able to accurately gauge bandwidth consumption.""It doesn't cost too much.""The monitoring is perfect, showing you the details for the utilization of resources and network bandwidth.""The solution's most valuable feature is its traffic analysis."

Cons
"The user interface needs improvement.""My biggest complaint about ADA is that you have to rely on dedicated appliances."

More CA Application Delivery Analysis [EOL] Cons →

"It is a scalable solution, but it is costly to scale. Therefore, I would rate scalability at eight out of ten.""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.""Technical support could be improved with quicker response times.""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.""I would like to see better customization capabilities.""The Atlas module that is used for building the network map is very bad.""The price of the solution is a bit high for our clients. They should consider adjusting their price model.""It's scalable, but it could be simplified because it's not completely easy."

Pricing and Cost Advice

  • More CA Application Delivery Analysis [EOL] Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "For our environment, we pay approximately $25,000 USD yearly."

  • "The price of this solution is exceptional."
  • "While the pricing is fair, it could be better."
  • "The pricing is reasonable."
  • "We pay yearly, and we are happy with its price."
  • "We have licenses for SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer. In terms of pricing, its license is not that expensive versus other tools such as HP."
  • "Pricing for SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is very high. I have a customer that needs the solution but doesn't have the budget for SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer because the problem is that you can't use the solution only. You have to buy requirements such as the SolarWinds NPM first, and some companies don't have the budget for all the required components and modules. SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer can cost up to $10,000, and some customers don't have that budget. Another product has all the modules that SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer has, with a very low price, that can be a replacement, which is ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer. PRTG is another solution that can replace SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer."
