"I love the single pane of glass view. It makes it easier to not have to navigate everywhere. It allows more simplistic visibility, without having to go from tool to tool to tool, or from window to window to window."
"It helps us get to root cause quickly. With utilization and consumption of bandwidth, we can usually see what application is taking as much as they should (or shouldn't), then account for it accordingly."
"It's an easy product to set up."
"The real-time troubleshooting and application segregation that you can do within it."
"The tool has the ability to look back within a month's data. It is very easy to navigate within the tool and troubleshoot the problem, compared to other solutions that we've used in the past."
"The ability to troubleshoot customers' connectivity has been very beneficial."
"The most valuable feature is utilization."
"The product is stable. I have never had any issue where we have lost an InfiniStream, or visibility from that particular InfiniStream, throughout the bank."
"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 initial setup was straightforward."
"As it offers enterprise solutions, it has all the essential features for business."
"What people found most valuable in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is its report customization feature."
"They have instructional videos and other information available on the site to assist you with learning it."
"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."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I'd like them to make the product more user-friendly."
"There is a timeout feature that we have been asking for awhile."
"The stability depends on who is using the tool, because you only can get as much out of the tool as you put into it. There are a lot of patches for this particular environment, so you have to keep on them. If you lose track of them, then the product is not useful anymore."
"The technology goes end-of-life on us every year, which is why I am looking forward to vSTREAM. I don't like when devices go end-of-life on us so quickly. If we can get more of an advanced notice of when an end-of-life is brought up, because our certification process within the organization takes a while."
"I would like to see an improved level of stitching between IPs."
"The single pane of glass feed still needs work."
"We don't use the single pane of glass view, even though we own it."
"Being able to manage the packet flow switches in nGeniusONE would be great."
"The solution needs better log management and log coordination with tools."
"This solution would benefit from having more security-based communications between the actual devices and the software itself."
"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."
"Customer Support is quite complex."
"The price of the solution is a bit high for our clients. They should consider adjusting their price model."
"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."
