Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA)

We use the SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA) heavily to analyze traffic flows for different use cases. We have flows from all our devices, including private WAN, sending data to the SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA) module. It is being used by IT to understand what applications are using our bandwidth and the type of traffic on our links. SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA) has helped multiple times to narrow down high-usage applications that cause high utilization on our links.
It also works well with IPAM and UDT to understand who that IP belongs to.
  • Flow information
  • Connectivity for Flow traffic for differenet devices
  • Easy-to-read application information with port data

  • QoS
  • The GUI is clunky

  • Improved monitoring for high utilization
  • Application monitoring for some custom apps
We've always had SolarWinds--a platform we inherited from the prior team
SolarWinds support in general isn't the best. It usually takes a while to get someone to help out. However they do have Thwack, which is a pretty awesome resource for any information.
