Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA)

We initially bought it for Netflow data from our firewall and some internal systems. Currently, we don't use it as we have migrated to Palo Alto Firewalls, which provide much better data and have rendered [SolarWinds] NTA mostly obsolete in our environment. On occasion, we'll use [SolarWinds] NTA to monitor internal traffic to a system, but it's rare.
  • Displaying traffic usage data
  • Internet bandwidth utilization reports
  • Better integration with Palo Alto
  • Better UI for displaying data
  • [SolarWinds] NTA is useful for Internet speed utilization reporting and planning.
[SolarWinds] NTA is vastly inferior to Palo Alto's built-in monitoring tools. The only benefit [SolarWinds] NTA has over Palo [Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewalls] is historical link utilization and reporting.
[In my opinion,] SolarWinds support is terrible. [In my experience,] it takes them 48-72 hours to respond, and most [of] the time they send you a link to a web article that may or may not resolve your issue.
