Solar Winds Net Flow Traffic Analyzer is a Great Tool for your Troubleshooting Arsenal

  • April 19, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Solar Winds Net Flow Traffic Analyzer lets me see traffic patterns up to the minute, allowing me to troubleshoot bandwidth issues rapidly. Solar Winds Net Flow Traffic Analyzer also allows me to identify application issues, traffic issues, as well as end user bandwidth hogs. Solar Winds Net Flow Traffic Analyzer helps improve my ability to ensure our network is up and operational for our clients, tenants, as well as our employees.

Also, because Solar Winds Net Flow Traffic Analyzer integrates into our other Solar Winds products such as Network Performance Monitor, Solar Winds Server and Application Monitor, and Solar Winds End User Device Tracker, it helps us create a central dashboard where we can quickly identify problem areas and resolve them quickly and efficiently.
What do you dislike about the product?
Solar Winds Net Flow Traffic Analyzer takes a lot of time configuring unless you're good with seeing "Un-Monitored traffic"
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Solar Winds Net Flow Traffic Analyzer, we have been able to identify chatty applications and have segmented them off our primary network. Also, Solar Winds Net Flow Traffic Analyzer has assisted us in being able to identify bandwidth hogs (end users) and disabled their access.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's not the end-all, be-all, magic bullet to solve all your issues, but is a great addition to any tool sets you currently use.

What do you like best about the product?
It has compatibility with various devices
What do you dislike about the product?
Not available as Standalone - need NPM.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me to monitor and analyze the traffic from different devices like Cisco, Juniper, etc., Also with the dashboard which is very smooth to use, I can customize the report the way I want.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Keep your objective clear and pre-requisites ready. That will ease out whole process during implementation.

Great Tool for any Network admin

  • April 18, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The fact that I am able to narrow down bandwidth consumption between two endpoints and even a specific application being used
What do you dislike about the product?
That it is not possible to pull a single report combining the netflow traffic along with the SNMP circuit consumption. Like being able to determine how much of each circuit is being utilized by exchange traffic.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To be able to determine what are affecting our circuit's that happen to be smaller, I.E T1

bandwidth updates for certain circuits which needed it most.

Greater insight into your slow network!

  • April 18, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Netflow is one of the better solarwinds modules that we use everyday. It brings great insight into your bandwidth and can show you exactly what is going on. It has helped with the age old issue 'the network is slow', as more often than not it is due to bandwidth; and now we can see exactly why it is slow and stop it. The historical information is another great help, as you can see previous bandwidth hogs as to why the network was under performing at a given time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Set up can be a little complex, especially in a complex network. It requires a separate server to run efficiently which isn't always practical or cheap.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It highlights bandwidth hogs and it allows our network to work more efficiently. It helps keep the network performing well and highlights potential issues almost everyday. It also saves us a lot of time in diagnosing a slow network call, which can often be solved in a few minutes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking to save a lot of time hunting network performance issues and slow down, NTA is a fantastic tool and worth the effort of set up and the cost.

Great tool for bandwidth analysis

  • April 18, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
This tool is really easy to deploy and easy to use. Just configure your network devices to export netflow data to the NTA server and start displaying traffic information
What do you dislike about the product?
Default dashboards are not great, I always modify them to my liking. That's really easy to do (around 5 minutes).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mainly bandwidth analysis problems. Check what applications are using your internet connection. Check how the top talkers are. Check security issues (for example if a SQL server is generating too much SMTP traffic)
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you don't have any netflow tool and you own a SolarWinds module, this is a no brainer for you.

Solawinds IPAM needs more flow

  • April 06, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
the tool is very basic, and can import tab and comma delimited files. It has a built-in IP address scanning tool. It is SNMP enabled and can log new IP's that get discovered with ping sweeps.
What do you dislike about the product?
you need a strong server to be able to run the whole solar winds suite.
IF you don't, it will run at a very low unsatisfactory speed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
its important to have a tool that can not only track IP addresses, but can import your documentation prior to implementation. If you have tab and comma delimited files, you can import that data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
needs to be less resource intensive
