More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Pros →

More Flowmon Pros →

"It is great at telling you if your devices are working and it keeps an eye on your network's overall performance.""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 most valuable features are the bandwidth analyzer, the monitoring, the network analyzer, it has overall good performance, and an easy deployment.""I would rate NetFlow Traffic Analyzer's stability ten out of ten.""It helps us know when a branch is down because it has a graphic presentation of all the locations a node represents.""What people found most valuable in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is its report customization feature.""The most helpful feature of SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is bandwidth analysis, which lets you see who's hogging your network.""The solution's most valuable feature is its traffic analysis."

Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement.""The technical support needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"The licensing price could be better.""If there was better visualization in Flowmon Solution it would be good.""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."

More Flowmon Cons →

"The solution needs better log management and log coordination with tools.""One area that we struggle with is the price. Because the price of this solution is so high, we are largely unable to introduce it into the local market, and only the banking sector has the means to afford it.""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 can be complex to set up and configure.""The price of the solution is a bit high for our clients. They should consider adjusting their price model.""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.""It's scalable, but it could be simplified because it's not completely easy.""I would like to see more training videos and additional material for learning how to use this solution."

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

  • "The price of the solution could be better."
  • More Flowmon Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The licensing for this solution is based on the number of nodes."
  • "The price of this solution is exceptional."
  • "While the pricing is fair, it could be better."
  • "The pricing is reasonable."
  • "We pay yearly, and we are happy with its price."
  • "We have licenses for SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer. In terms of pricing, its license is not that expensive versus other tools such as HP."
  • "Pricing for SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is very high. I have a customer that needs the solution but doesn't have the budget for SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer because the problem is that you can't use the solution only. You have to buy requirements such as the SolarWinds NPM first, and some companies don't have the budget for all the required components and modules. SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer can cost up to $10,000, and some customers don't have that budget. Another product has all the modules that SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer has, with a very low price, that can be a replacement, which is ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer. PRTG is another solution that can replace SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer."
