We performed a comparison between SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The most valuable feature is the alarm that is set up to trigger based on bandwidth utilization."
"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."
"It helps us know when a branch is down because it has a graphic presentation of all the locations a node represents."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The performance analysis is a valuable feature. With the performance analyzer, we can see the realtime monitoring, the realtime performance, and historical performance on specific components like virtualization storage, CPU, servers and network equipment."
"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."
"For stability, I would give SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer a rating of ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is network traffic monitoring."
"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 solution is stable."
"It can send messages to our ticketing system."
"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 flexible licensing model is one of the solution's most valuable aspects. It really allows for great flexibility for companies."
"The initial setup, while not simple, is easier than other products."
"We have found that Zabbix is more easy to use than other applications."
"There is room for improvement when it comes to the traffic generated by the analyzer and the analysis of that traffic."
"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."
"The licensing should be more realistic so that we can adjust the number of nodes according to my needs, rather than in fixed increments."
"I would like to see better customization capabilities."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"It's not a cheap product, so the pricing could be improved."
"One area that we struggle with is the price. Because the price of this solution is so high, we are largely unable to introduce it into the local market, and only the banking sector has the means to afford it."
"The price of the solution is a bit high for our clients. They should consider adjusting their price model."
"My company wanted to do an exercise command to access IT from Cameroon. They wanted to access an FSS to a second host with second equipment that was on another coast but it is not possible on Zabbix to do it. They want to directly access from the front-end of Zabbix to access a prompt in Zabbix to an access terminal. In the front-end, there is no way to do that. That would be an important improvement."
"I want Zabbix to improve the UX/UI. Zabbix doesn't use a JavaScript chart for images, and I want them to improve this."
"The user interface could be better."
"We had some scalability issues with a large number of nodes."
"The main problem with Zabbix is that you have to spend time writing templates for all of the products that you have."
"For us, the initial setup was complex"
"The networking monitor is not too easy to work with."
"It could be more stable."
