Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA)

It gives a great quick view of all the links used by just putting in an IP address, if you are collecting flow data on all your network links.
  • Quick search of an IP to show over time traffic
  • Great classification of protocols and showing host traffic
  • Ability to create alerts off of flow data
  • Slowness during search
  • Alerting mechanism could have been simplified
  • Bandwidth reported on Y axis isn't always correct since we are only showing 95th percentile of packets
  • Has had a good impact in terms of reducing MTTR
  • Gives us the ability to monitor traffic coming from specific countries
It's overall a little slower than Arbor peakflow, but offers good functionality in terms of visualizing flow data. It would be great if the DB could be open for other visualization tools so flow data could be visualized using BI tools
All issues have been resolved in a timely manner; however, for a few support cases, we have had to do a lot of self learning and research ourselves to fix issues.
