LiveAction LiveNX vs SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer comparison

"The intention and the idea of the filter is great."

"We don't have any complaints about the software. According to my team, it's a very good tool that's very intuitive."

"All in all, LiveAction LiveNX has become an indispensable tool for maintaining and improving our network's reliability and performance, ultimately supporting our organization's goal of providing timely and dependable delivery services."

"One of the valuable features is the ability to create CLI scripts on the fly to fix any issues. We were using it for QoS modeling to ensure that we were properly modeling QoS, and it basically said here is what you need to fix to get this QoS done, whether it is ACL or something else. It would either push or recommend. If you have the right credentials, you could also push. It is very good if you are a Cisco shop. It gives you reporting, latency, and bandwidth utilization for your applications, so you can do good capacity management planning. There are a lot of pieces that LiveNX can give you. It is a total NPM solution for SD-WAN."

"We provide a tool for our customers to manage their reports. It's an extremely highly featured platform capable of producing a lot of data. We spent quite a long time working with customers and LiveAction to create template reports, and they're very good and configurable. You get a lot of data if you don't configure them."

"Its analytical capability is really good."

"The alerting feature is very good because it allows you to set MOS alerts at various network junctures or data points."

"The product has a very good graphical interface."

"The integration with other SolarWinds products is good."

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

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

"I like that it is able to monitor multiple devices and it's vendor-agnostic."

"They have instructional videos and other information available on the site to assist you with learning it."

"The software management tools are very useful for our customers."

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

"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."

"The only downside to this software is the price."

"The tool crashes sometimes when we try to pull reports simultaneously."

"It is not as robust as other NPM solutions. For instance, there is a problem while labeling specific applications. It works well with well-known applications, but when you have to put in new applications that are not very known and set them up with names, ports, URLs, or some protocols, it is not as intuitive."

"The product is weak in multi-tenancy. We have to install multiple instances of LiveAction, whereas we would like to build it once for our customers."

"Sometimes the solution does not register devices properly and that is a bug."

"This is a horrible solution and I think everything needs to be improved."

"Improved documentation and more responsive customer support can help in addressing issues faster."

"They need to create a more simplified UI."

"It is very slow to pick the dynamics of the network."

"The problem is that SolarWinds is trying to bolt in too much and that can leave bugs, which you have to then sort out, leaving the product unstable. SolarWinds needs to try and slow down and improve the stability of the product, as opposed to bringing out more and more features."

"The pricing is expensive."

"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."

"It's not a cheap product, so the pricing could be improved."

"NTA's documentation for the implementation phase needs some enhancement."

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

"I'm expecting to see a little bit more artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms. They need a bit more sophistication in that."

"We use the free version."

"The solution is fairly expensive compared to other products."

"It's very expensive."

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

"The pricing is really good."

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

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

"The pricing is reasonable."

"We have licenses for SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer. In terms of pricing, its license is not that expensive versus other tools such as HP."

"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."

"NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is reasonably priced."
