SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer Review
Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA)
As a service provider, we need to monitor for various scenarios. Have set up custom SWQL alerts to monitor for denial of service attacks on our customers. SolarWinds NTA also facilitates bandwidth monitoring for billing purposes for usage and overage charges.
Pros
- Running down DOS attacks over the network
- Helping Customer Support assist customers with slow internet complaints
- Tracking usage for billing
- Creating high-level usage reports for upper management
Cons
- Needing to understand SQWL for most advanced reporting
- Some of the automated reports are not very user friendly
- Facilitates our billing for special case internet customers
- Allows real time denial of service attack monitoring helping to keep our network running smooth
My team inherited SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer along with other SolarWinds products so I can't give reviews for alternatives as we haven't evaluated any other services. We are happy with what NTA provides us.

SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA) Training
- Online training
I would recommend skipping at least some of the online training. It will really speed up deployment. Not to mention all the training is free to customers.
Relationship with SolarWinds
We mostly use a third party for sales but they help out with the process and send out our requirements to their resellers for us.
Good people to deal with and more than willing to help with requests.
