"It is an overall stable solution."
"SolarWinds has improved our organization because whenever a device is down, we get an alert."
"I would rate NetFlow Traffic Analyzer's stability ten out of ten."
"They have instructional videos and other information available on the site to assist you with learning it."
"The most helpful feature of SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is bandwidth analysis, which lets you see who's hogging your network."
"The monitoring is perfect, showing you the details for the utilization of resources and network bandwidth."
"I like that it is able to monitor multiple devices and it's vendor-agnostic."
"As it offers enterprise solutions, it has all the essential features for business."
"It doesn't cost too much."
"I would like to see more security features, like a lost protection package."
"Currently, Broadcom Network Flow Analysis does not support high-availability solutions, making it an area that needs improvement."
"It's not a cheap product, so the pricing could be improved."
"They should work on the configuration of the Log Analyzer feature."
"The licensing should be more realistic so that we can adjust the number of nodes according to my needs, rather than in fixed increments."
"What needs improvement in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is performance because sometimes, my team struggles too much for the solution to perform correctly for a specific deployment in my organization. Having a more detailed view in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is another area for improvement, but that's more part of the protocol than the actual solution."
"An area for improvement in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is application visibility because some applications aren't being recognized correctly. You can see applications such as Facebook and YouTube, but SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer needs to have more visibility into more applications. Currently, SolarWinds fails to detect more powerful applications, such as Zoom and Teams. If SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer can recognize every application and be able to report on each in terms of bandwidth, then that would be good. This is what I'd like to see in the next release of the solution."
"Customer Support is quite complex."
"This solution would benefit from having more security-based communications between the actual devices and the software itself."
"I would like to see more training videos and additional material for learning how to use this solution."
