Flowmon vs SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer comparison

"The solution is stable."

"It is an open platform, so in terms of integration, we are quite happy. We can integrate it with other SNMP solutions. We can also integrate it with security solutions, such as a SIEM solution."

"Flowmon is more easy to understand and helps find network issues more quickly."

"The artificial intelligence and automatic detection system in Flowmon Solution are perfect for every, type of customer, such as government and commerce."

"Flowmon is more easy to understand and helps find network issues more quickly."

"The most helpful feature of SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is bandwidth analysis, which lets you see who's hogging your network."

"SolarWinds has improved our organization because whenever a device is down, we get an alert."

"The solution's most valuable feature is its traffic analysis."

"It allows us to pinpoint which protocol is overloading the link."

"We conduct network traffic analysis for a couple of key reasons. First, we look for traffic anomalies, such as unexpected increases or decreases in network traffic within specific segments. This helps us determine if the network needs to be re-architected."

"For stability, I would give SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer a rating of ten out of ten."

"The program is scalable enough for our usage."

"NTA's most valuable feature is traffic analysis and visibility."

"The licensing price could be better."

"I do not know the detailed pricing."

"It would be helpful to have more details about the monitoring of the infrastructure. It should have support for SNMP. This is something that is currently not there in the product."

"If there was better visualization in Flowmon Solution it would be good."

"I would like to see more training videos and additional material for learning how to use this solution."

"Customer Support is quite complex."

"If your network is on SolarWinds, and you notice that the traffic is bad because it says "user downloading a heavy file," it doesn't indicate which endpoint is downloading those heavy files. SolarWinds doesn't have the tools to be able to handle this kind of situation. You can just notice through your network device that the traffic is becoming overwhelming or heavy, but you cannot go inside and get more details related to the endpoint where it is happening. We would like SolarWinds to be able to handle this kind of situation and even manage the traffic inside a network from the endpoint to the network device. These would be good enhancements. It is mostly stable. The problem comes only when we want to add another SolarWinds model. SolarWinds has so many models, and sometimes when we want to add other models on the platforms that are reserved for our firm, it freezes. When this happens, we have to create a new VM for that model."

"I would like to see more artificial intelligence capabilities."

"There is a lack of documentation ......as well as a lack of dashboards."

"It does not flow. It cannot do our metric performance monitoring. So it is very limited. They can do it but in a very limited fashion. It is only good for SNMP-based alerts."

"There are some areas for improvement in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer. There are some challenges with the solution when compared to other monitoring tools such as difficulty in operations and difficulty with backup installation. My team is currently trying out different solutions but would need to see how it goes."

"The solution needs better log management and log coordination with tools."

"The price of the solution could be better."

"The licensing fee accrues only once, but that of support is annual."

"It works with a permanent license, and then you can pay for the support. For the gold support, you need to pay yearly."

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

"We pay yearly, and we are happy with its price."

"The licensing for this solution is based on the number of nodes."

"SolarWinds' pricing structure is the primary reason why some customers opt for another solution such as ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer. In NTA, you are charged per port, meaning that if you have a 24-port switch you will be charged for 24 individual nodes. ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer, on the other hand, charges per switch, such that if you add a switch, the entire switch will count as one single node."

"The price of this solution is exceptional."

"The pricing is really good."

"Licensing for SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is paid yearly, and there are no additional costs that you need to pay apart from the standard licensing fees because you don't need to purchase another solution to make SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer work. Pricing for SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is more expensive than other solutions."

"The solution's licensing is high-priced."
