Description of NetFlow Analyzer

NetFlow Analyzer utilizes Cisco® NetFlow, IPFIX and compatible netflow-like protocols to help net admins with bandwidth monitoring, deep network traffic investigation, analyses and reporting. By visualizing the traffic by network devices, interfaces, subnets and end users, net admins can better understand bandwidth consumption, traffic trends, applications, host traffic and traffic anomalies. • Monitoring network bandwidth on routers and interfaces; • Monitoring custom traffic on IP subnets and IP subnets groups; • Monitoring end user traffic; • Highlighting traffic structure with top talkers: hosts, services, protocols, conversations, QoS, AS; • Exploring historical data: charts and flow records; • Collecting and analysing Cisco® NetFlow v5 and v9 and standardised IPFIX (exported by devices from Cisco, Juniper, HP and other vendors). This enables companies to optimize their networks and applications, plan network expansion, save time needed for troubleshooting and diagnostics and improve security – in turn considerably lowering company operational costs and increasing network team productivity.

Easy to manage and configure to monitor internet usage

It is easy to install and configure and it's very powerful. The most useful feature for me is that I can see which services are using bandwidth in my infrastructure. It is very effective tool to monitor your internet usage. There are some limitations regarding the number of flows that you can view simultaneously. It's really good software but sometimes it hangs or freezes during usage. So please make sure you have enough resources to run this application smoothly. If we want to monitor our…

Easy to interpret logging, good interface

The software is very easy for use as it does not require much knowledge of how things work in order get results from data collected using this tool; however there are some features that could be made more user friendly or easier such us finding flows over certain time periods which would make searching through our logs less tedious! We have been able solve problems regarding application performance issues we were getting before but also now see where these come about when looking at flow…

Very helpful tool especially with little knowledge and patience

The software is very easy for beginners like me who do not have much experience in using flow analyzers but are still interested about it. It's great that I am able to customize my flows as needed without having someone else create them ahead of time just so they match exactly what i'm looking at or trying to analyze! Sometimes you cannot find some fields if there isn't enough information already entered into your report (ie when new customers sign up). Not sure how this affects others though…

Pros
  • Great customer service
  • Very simple interface with helpful error messages
  • Extremely detailed viewable logs available, even downtime due t oserver crashes & other issues can be viewed easily.
  • User friendly reporting system customizable by user needs
Cons
  • Almost never
