Great easy to use product, will continue using as a quick network analyser. Just wish it would integrate wider.

Pros

Great analytics and dashboarding, gives good insights into current traffic and trends. Particularly like the sources and interfaces breakdown.

Cons

Easier integrations would be better to collate more sources of networking traffic to give a better indication of the network estate.

well, as we have various hardware vendor to analyze the traffic such as Mikrotik, cisco we can not find the best way to analyze the network traffic, fortunately, we have the Netflow traffic analyzer that helps consolidate all the incoming flow and analyze and display only one dashboard for a visual view of network traffic and protocol, also geographic as well.

Pros

Its a very powerful tool to analyze all the traffic to find out and deep dive into the detail of the destination network and protocol, and it provides a visual real-time dashboard that makes IT, administrators, analyze and plan the bandwidth well for the users and support a lot of various networking vendor.

Cons

well, this software is very good already, should have no comment about this.

We were having an issue that our network starts to choke at a particular time of day which we were unable to trace with our existing tool, that was when we were introduced to SolarWinds Traffic Analyzer and we were able to trace the issue and that was the main reason for us to purchase this software.

Pros

It shows who is communicating with who and with the NBAR2 configuration on Cisco, it even shows who is visiting social media and streaming websites and how much bandwidth is being utilized, and how much traffic is going in and out of the network.

Cons

There are still a few devices which we are unable to monitor due to which we had to submit some feature requests and we are not seeing those updates in the upcoming roadmaps.

we were unable to trace the issue with this tool and this did not even had enough customization with the reporting according to our needs.
