LiveAction LiveNX vs SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer comparison

"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."

"Its analytical capability is really good."

"The product has a very good graphical interface."

"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."

"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."

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

"What the network team found most valuable in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is that it helps them to troubleshoot or analyze the issue. For example, traffic that comes from our location: India, goes to the US, so for the network team to analyze where the traffic comes from and where it is directed, and whether the packets are being dropped, they use SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer. The network team also likes that through the solution, they can analyze the complete traffic utilization and how they're going to use it. SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is user-friendly. The team finds it comfortable to use."

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

"I would rate NetFlow Traffic Analyzer's stability ten out of ten."

"What people found most valuable in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is its report customization feature."

"The dashboard alerts me when a critical device goes off the network."

"The solution helps manage networks."

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

"It is great at telling you if your devices are working and it keeps an eye on your network's overall performance."

"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."

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

"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."

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

"The price of the solution is a bit high for our clients. They should consider adjusting their price model."

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

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

"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."

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

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

"The licensing should be more realistic so that we can adjust the number of nodes according to my needs, rather than in fixed increments."

"It is a scalable solution, but it is costly to scale. Therefore, I would rate scalability at eight out of ten."

"We use the free version."

"It's very expensive."

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

"The price of this solution is exceptional."

"NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is reasonably priced."

"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."

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

"I don't have information on the licensing cost for SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer because it's bundled with another SolarWinds solution. My organization has seven different models and pays for the license yearly. My organization also had to deploy additional pollers, but the cost wasn't very expensive, though I can't give the exact numbers."

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

"The pricing is reasonable."

"The pricing is really good."
