NTA: if you manage more than a handful of sites, definitely worth a look.
Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA)
The instance I use [of SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA)] is used by our department only. There are other installations across the organization. When we have network issues at a site, it helps determine what the issue is ( bandwidth flooding, undesirable traffic, improper traffic, etc) and helps identify what devices are the bad actors. We can see conversations per device and the utilization for each conversation. Protocols are also identified.
- It is used as a troubleshooting device by our department. It helps shorten the time spent in identify root cause of issues. I do not have hard numbers.
- NETSCOUT TruView (formerly Visual TruView)
We utilize NetScout in conjunction with NetScout. NetScout gives a finer grained insight into traffic, while [SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer] (NTA) gives a better quick glance at the entire organizational structure.
