Austin-based SolarWinds' Netflow Traffic Analyzer is a network performance monitoring option.SolarWindsSolarWinds NTA - Analyze This!2019-01-28T14:41:50.922ZWe have regularly had issues over the past years, as our estate has grown, with network performance issues from unknown devices. Lack of overall monitoring, including being able to analyze these packets, has been missing. We have been unable to spot patterns in traffic and applications across our estate, and users have suffered as a result. We now use SolarWinds Network Traffic Analyzer across our entire estate and it has been a fantastic addition to compliment our Orion Suite.,Reporting and alerting have been key and we have been able to setup trigger conditions linked to Network Traffic Analyzer to tell us when we're having an issue.
We frequently had users hogging bandwidth and we had no way of seeing who was doing it. After only 24 hours of Network Traffic Analyzer being deployed into our environment, we had found 13 devices controlled by users that were causing problems.
We have used NetPath to analyze our traffic and the results have allowed us to make a multitude of changes across the network to provide a more sound network base.,A large amount of storage is required.
Unless you're familiar with SolarWinds products, there is a considerable learning curve with the deployment of the tool. An understanding of networks is key.
Needs its own server.,9,Capacity planning.
We were used to our offices telling us the bandwidth was slow - it's now the other way around.
Alerting on performance issues.,Datadog, PRTG Network Monitor and Nagios,Datadog, Nagios, AlertSiteRob BatesSolarWinds NTA is a time saver2018-12-28T15:39:10.597ZUsed primarily by the network engineering team, backed up by the server and storage team, NTA is used to identify network (primarily WAN) bottlenecks and identify the largest users and what type of traffic they generate. We will often find one user streaming video hogging bandwidth, but we can also identify and monitor chatty back-end processes such as Exchange DAG replication.,Graphical display of bandwidth usage over time, and split out by largest users.
Ability to create custom alerts based on network traffic patterns.
Ability to quickly identify the largest user(s) on a link.,It seems to have trouble reverse-resolving internal devices, despite being run on a domain-member server. We often get IP addresses for node identifiers where we would like to see the server or workstation name.,10,With NTA, we are able to identify and remediate network bandwidth hogs and have avoided upgrading circuits when we found the usage was frivolous.,,SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor, SolarWinds Network Configuration Manager, SolarWinds Server & Application MonitorScott ReeseThe best network monitoring application2018-06-21T16:38:33.513ZIt is the application that we use to monitor the network traffic in the company, the possible collisions, falls and delays that may occur as well as we use it, in the same way, to define how the bandwidth consumption is being managed and thus be able to determine who wastes the internet service causing delays in the network. Likewise, it allows us to have specific statistics regarding the type of specific data that are most consumed in the network.,The details of the traffic are especially good if it shows statistics in real time. It is very important to analyze it at the same time
It lets you know who is watching within the network so it is ideal for a thorough monitoring of resources
It has an intuitive interface of easy operation that allows the operation of the same without problems,Shows only the information of monitored nodes, if there is any node that presents some suspicious activity but is not being monitored it is ignored
The licensing of the complements by SolarWinds is done separately so the final result ends up being really expensive for the end user
Although the use is very intuitive the configuration is not so and until you have done it in a repetitive way it is a slow and cumbersome process,8,The administration of the bandwidth of the organization has been improved considerably allowing to detect leakage of the same in unwanted applications
It has been allowed to limit the access and the consumption of bandwidth in departments that used the same in activities external to the company
As a negative aspect, the limitations that have been detached from the analysis of consumption statistics generated discomfort in part of the personnel to whom the bandwidth consumption was limited.,Colasoft Capsa, Wireshark, InfoVista 5View NetFlow and NetFlow,PostgreSQL, MikroTik Routers and Switches, AvayaCarlos Alberto Pedron EspinettWhy is my internet slow!?!2018-04-20T19:36:47.851ZSolarWinds Netflow Traffic Analyzer (NTA) allows us to get an in-depth view into the traffic traversing our network in a central easy to navigate interface. By integrating into our existing SolarWinds Orion environment, we were able to use NTA very quickly without any extensive setup or configuration. NTA allows us to quickly identify how bandwidth is being used at our branch office locations to quickly resolve bandwidth oversaturation or security incidents.,Easy to use and customizable interface.
Intuitive conversational search.
Integrates well with other SolarWinds products in the Orion suite.,Using it without having at least SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor (NPM) can be a pain.
There is an initial learning curve to be able to fully use the product.
The product is very resource intensive in larger environments.,10,NTA allows ensuring that branch locations are using their assigned bandwidth to their full potential.Josh HabermanNTA - for both Corporate and Customer networks2018-04-20T21:28:47.985ZWe use SolarWinds Netflow Traffic Analyzer (NTA) widely on the corporate network, and deploy at premise sites when we see a need to drill down on a network. This allows us to keep an eye on any bottlenecks, both in our corporate, data centers, and customer facility networks. It has served us well when we use it.,One you get used to the UI, endpoints are easy to locate and understand.
Integration with other SolarWinds products.
Graphs and reports are easily obtainable.,It's not aesthetically pleasing at all.
They really should consider rebuilding the UI. It takes a good while to learn the ins and outs.,9,When a site is having persistent network problems and we have trouble finding the source, it could impact revenue. This is where NTA comes in and helps speed up the diagnosis.,,SolarWinds Network Configuration Manager, SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor, SolarWinds Server & Application MonitorVerified User
