ManageEngine Netflow is a powerful tool for network and traffic analysis security and statistics.
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
It's been great since we implemented this solution in our company. It has helped us a lot to solve problems with our internet bandwidth, providing a complete view of our entire network and ports, including malicious addresses. It's very useful for our day-to-day operations and network. We have graphs, a security module, and we can see every interface of our firewall or router.
Pros
- Inventory Interfaces
- NCM Firmware Vulnarabilities
- NCM Device
- Security
Cons
- It should improve or incorporate an automatic application update process, as it is currently very manual and requires experience to do so.
- The NBA Security module consumes a lot of resources; it should be lighter and more accurate in its alerts for abnormal network detections, perhaps aided by AI.
- Improve network interface search processes and a dashboard that provides more accurate information on overall network performance, traffic, and bandwidth.
Likelihood to Recommend
More accurately identifying unusual traffic spikes, including the origin of the IP address, among other factors, also greatly helps in the process of graphing or bandwidth consumption saturation, which allows us to visualize where consumption is occurring and whether we should optimize or rather review to reduce our internet channels, which is the most powerful process that this potential tool has. Finally, consider hybrid monitoring, local network, and cloud network, as this contributes more to packet transmission and reception costs.
