Key features when evaluating NTA solutions include:
Real-time monitoring
Advanced threat detection
Scalability
Integration capabilities
Customizable alerts
Real-time monitoring ensures immediate visibility into network activities, which is essential for quick response to threats. Advanced threat detection utilizes machine learning and behavioral analysis to identify anomalies and potential security breaches. Scalability is important to manage growing network traffic and ensure consistent performance as demand increases. Integration capabilities with existing security tools maximize the efficiency of the security infrastructure and provide a unified threat management system.
Customizable alerts allow teams to prioritize and manage incidents based on threat levels, reducing noise and focusing on critical issues. Effective NTA solutions should provide detailed analytics and reporting to help in forensic investigations and compliance audits. User-friendly dashboards aid in efficient monitoring and analysis. These features combined contribute to a robust security posture, helping organizations detect and mitigate threats in a timely manner.

Modern Security Operations teams have access to vast amounts of data, but this has not translated into greater effectiveness. The goal of NTA is to not only eliminate blind spots with unprecedented visibility, but to also cut through the noise of alerts with high-fidelity behavioral analytics.
In addition, it should dramatically reduces the time required to take action, from days to seconds, through automated investigations. To achieve these goals, NTA takes advantage of new machine learning and network traffic analytics technology. At its core, NTA which should be powered by an open, programmable, and extensible real-time streaming analytics platform and cloud-based behavioral analytics for full layer-7 visibility.
NTA shave Analytics and Investigation platform for the enterprise.
NTA real-time analytics and machine learning to every network transaction to cut through the noise and deliver concrete answers
Much like SIEM, NTA turned logs into operational insights, NTA turns network data into real-time situational intelligence
NTA technology is often used by Security and IT Ops teams to support key initiatives like Security, App Service Delivery, and IT Modernization

It depends what your environment is. We have very good experiences with two solutions. When you're using Cisco Networking, their Stealthwatch solution (also part of their EA, a full NBA/ADS* solution) does a very good job and gets more and more integrated in their Networking, Security and Admission Control solutions. When you are looking for a less expensive solution, we have very good experiences with Flowmon, a spin off from the University of Brno (Tsjech Republic) and a very mature NBA/ADS* solution as well. In NL Flowmon is successfully in use by education, healthcare, finance and transportation.

Network Traffic Analysis (NTA) is used to monitor, analyze, and optimize the flow of network traffic to identify performance issues, security threats, and ensure efficient data handling.
NTA tools enable organizations to visualize network activity in real-time and support historical data analysis. Users can detect anomalies, uncover hidden threats, and optimize their IT infrastructure. Advanced NTA solutions offer machine learning capabilities to automate threat detection and response,...
