NetVizura NetFlow Analyzer vs PacketTrap (Discontinued)

Likelihood to Recommend

The capacity planning was a big help in our company as we grew the number of connected locations. Grow or die is pretty much the business model of today but that growth is only as good as the network it travels on. Being able to recommend appropriate network requirements is a big deal in our line of business.

I would have said 10 if they didn't kill the product. I know Blue Folder took a piece of this, but we never got into it and just changed to Auvik and PRTG.

Come back! After Dell purchased this, they ended support for it. In my experience, it was one of the better tools.
Integration with other systems, but again, it is EOL, so doesn't matter.
MiB library needs a refresh, but again, EOL.

Again, the main piece was config backups. That is a real big deal, when you are dealing with a lot of customers that don't have a change management process. So changes can be done to a networking device and we need to be able to review what it was one day and what it changed to the next. This happens a lot with internal IT departments, that break something and you support them as an MSP.

Return on Investment

As I mentioned in a previous statement, the capacity planning was the big thing. In our line of business, speed is everything. Customers hate to be slowed down so having the appropriate network connections is a must.
Anomaly Detection with the threshold based alerting has made our network team more proactive in stopping things before they can really affect the company.
Productivity with the use of monitoring conversations and amount of used bandwidth has helped weed out the works versus the campers.
