Excellent, ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer really helped ACM to ensure the Bandwidth are being used for the legitimate productivity which aided the overall business deliverables.

Instant and historic reports on top talkers along with cos values are very useful. Its ability to resolve DNS for the applications/websites used also makes Network administrator life easy to narrow down the issue.

Remote assistance of the Customer support can be improved

Overall we are glad we get it as an addon to the greater Opmanager product that we purchased. The integration as made things so much easier for our Network Admins to go to one place and get all the info they need on our network health.

Cost is a big one. Manageengine is very competitive with their pricing and their software performs as well as, or better than competitors multiple times more expensive. Integration. Nearly everything ME puts out talks with their other products in some way. Either just some data and feature sharing via API, or fully being integrated into another larger product like Netflow is with Opmanager. So either you get the stand-alone software or you buy the whole suite, but they function the same.Overall Features. ME just gives you SOOO much within their software. I have a lot more capability that our agency did prior to switching to ME products.

Can be a little difficult to configure with some firewalls. Our Fortinet didn't want to play nice without some time spend tweaking things and contacting ME for some additional support.

Netflow can provide in near real time the same information as when working with the distributed uses of a sniffer.

I can monitor in real time the bandwidth of the network through the interfaces and be able to make decisions to increase or restrict traffic on the network, without the need for probes. In addition, I can collect and analyze data streams from a variety of network device manufacturers.

You must be clear about the capabilities of network devices, memory, etc., since they affect the cost of the agent and can function correctly.

Traffic forecasting Network behavior and anomaly detects proactively deep packet inspection result Compressive utilization reports

looking for end user experiences analysis part if its, because after it detects the source and destinations both sides need to show end user level issues that could be greate.

The product does the job very well and is quite reasonably priced compared to other competitors on the market. The Support team is very responsive and knowledgeable."

Ease of configuration and integration with our routers and firewalls. The Netflow Analyzer gives us insight into where our traffic is going and makes it easier to spot any suspicious network activity. Also, support has been quick to resolve any issues we had with the product.

Some interfaces are automatically added to monitoring when they have not been explicitly selected. These count towards the license limit but this is solved by un-managing the interfaces.

We use it over 10 years and have a great experience about the tool

Easy to setup, provide the information/function we need, Network bandwidth utilization monitoring and analysis. Can provide historical data and generate a report to help network infrastructure planning. get great support in time manner.

have to use snmp walk or similar tool to get the interface information. Prefer it can pull the interface names automatically.

So far it has allowed to generate usage reports for management

Helps you track all your circuit usage, all netflow related events

Its interface is really cool, but is not so intuitive. You can not seamleassly administrate its GUI.

It is a versatile tool, which allows traffic flow monitoring, has various characteristics such as discrimination by type of traffic, by IP addresses, by autonomous system, etc. which allows having a greater control of what users are consuming, also allows Control the security in the network at the time of a hacking attempt allows to determine in a basic way the origin and take the respective actions

It allows to see the different flows of traffic of a network, it can be organized by type and by different characteristics, besides it can be organized in groups for a better control

Many configurations must be made so that the equipment can be correctly included in the tool, if it does not present many errors and can not be monitored correctly

Overall, the tool tracks configuration changes in real time, providing visibility into who made the changes, what changes were made, and when they occurred.It was particularly useful for my organizations to manage configurations across a diverse set of network devices, ensuring consistency, compliance, and timely response to changes. It assists in preventing configuration drift, enhancing network security, and maintaining efficient network operations.

It requires significant hardware resources and storage capacity.

Generates detailed reports on network traffic trends, assisting with capacity planning and understanding usage patterns. Offers insight into network security by detecting suspicious or unauthorized network activity, bolstering threat detection and response.

The tool typically supports a wide range of network devices.

Practically, we understood traffic utilization in our company and it helped us to optimize network performance.

We used Netflow Analyzer for a few years. You might get the detailed network traffic analysis with very simple user interface and graphical reporting. With netflow tools it is really easy to get a visibility and additional control in your network environments, to understand the real-time bandwidth consuming and by whom. The license policy is flexible, so you might choose which one is enough for your organisation size (e.g 10 interfaces, 50 or more...).

I did not have any suggestion for improvements.

Specially in areas with poor internet service, monitoring the bandwidth usage is a Must.

We manage a network of twenty manufacturing buildings, some of which have an incredibly slow connection, only 5 mbps. For this reason and many others, must be incredibly diligent to monitor, carefully, their networks.. We are very pleased to use NetFlow Analyzer to manage all of our connections, especially those that have the minimum bandwidth, where one user uploads a video can consume 1/3 of the traffic.

Sometimes using a dual wan device is hard to manage and quantify in terms of reporting. But this is not a deal-break . We manage to get the raw data.

We have been able to troubleshoot many issues since we purchase this tool

You can monitor many interfaces under an easy to understand monitor

While monitor and report options can be self explanatory (its outputs), configuring the tool might not be too intuitive and you might get lost trying to find an option

Outstanding API , ease of administration and rich in functionality

The Application is one that I have never seen before with others I have used - not only is self contained it is API but provides very rich variables without the hassle of add-ons .

Nothing I can think of that is negative - all positive

Allows you to have visibility on the applications and services that cross the network, including statistics on bandwidth consumption and behavior, determine what applications may be consuming network resources, I can extract information collected daily, weekly or monthly, thanks to this I can implement quality of service policies or routing based on this information

Allows you to have visibility on the applications and services that cross the network, including statistics on bandwidth consumption and behavior

It must be installed on a server with sufficient processing capacity and memory, it is not recommended to install on an office computer

Easy to use; completeness of information

Nothing special to signal; maybe upgrade a little bit complicated
