About NetFlow Traffic Analyzer
NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is a network monitoring software from SolarWinds that helps troubleshoot NetFlow traffic and bandwidth issues while accessing complete visibility and control of the hybrid IT environment. It provides NetFlow monitoring, deep insights into traffic patterns, and bandwidth analysis so organizations can manage their network performance effectively. The software allows users to analyze traffic data in real-time, identify bandwidth hogs, and gain visibility into application usage. Key capabilities: NetFlow monitoring Bandwidth analysis Real-time traffic insights Reporting tools Custom dashboards Best for: IT professionals that need to manage network performance and troubleshoot traffic issues.
SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA) is a sophisticated network traffic monitoring and analysis solution tailored for IT professionals who need comprehensive visibility into their network’s performance and usage. Built as an add-on to the SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor (NPM), NTA integrates seamlessly into the broader SolarWinds Orion Platform, offering a cohesive and centralized approach to network management. At its core, NTA is designed to help organizations understand where and how bandwidth is being consumed, identify top talkers and applications, diagnose bottlenecks, and respond quickly to emerging security threats. It accomplishes this by capturing and analyzing flow data from a wide array of protocols including NetFlow, J-Flow, sFlow, NetStream, and IPFIX, making it highly versatile across multi-vendor network environments. One of NTA’s major strengths lies in its ability to offer granular traffic visibility. Users can drill down into traffic by protocol, application, user, or even IP address group, thanks to its integration with technologies like Cisco NBAR2 and SolarWinds User Device Tracker. This level of detail is critical for network diagnostics, capacity planning, and security analysis.
Pros & Cons
- +1. Shows who is communicating with whom on the network.
- +2. With NBAR2 on Cisco, it identifies visits to social media and streaming sites and their bandwidth use.
- +3. Displays the amount of data traffic flowing in and out of the network.
- +4. Offers great analytics and dashboarding with insights into current traffic and trends, including sources and interfaces breakdown.
- −1. Monitoring of some devices is still not possible, leading to submitted feature requests.
- −2. Requested feature updates are currently not visible in the upcoming product roadmaps.
- −3. Achieving easier integrations would be better for collating more sources of networking traffic.
