ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer Reviews & Insights

Organizations with diverse departments and heavy internet usage can benefit from detailed traffic analysis. The tool helps identify bandwidth hogs and optimizes resource allocation.

Very useful tool, that help us to manage our network, check flows and traffic, check hardware, failure. The portal is pretty simple and very very powerful. In some minutes we configure all users, reports, grants and all the switches, routers and so on. Currently we use NetFlow every day, a very good tool

After the adoption of NetFlow, we have an overview of the status of our network, devices, access point, router, servers (and its interactions). before NetFlow, the analysis of some network issues was very very difficult. NetFlow helps us to improve our services and our daily job and tasks. Really love it !!!

We use ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer in our organization to gain insight into bandwidth utilization, network traffic anomalies, and to troubleshoot network performance issues. We are able to gain insight into network utilization patterns, including peak times and get an understanding of when and why we are reaching out capacity. This gives us the ability to plan accordingly when it comes to network upgrades.

Identifying network traffic anomalies.
Identifying applications, devices, or users that are utilizing high bandwidth.
Capacity planning for network links and internet circuits.
Detecting potential security threats or breaches.
Network performance and troubleshooting.
Reporting network utilization.

We use NetFlow Analyzer for two main purposes. First is to monitor the flow of traffic to insure each office had the bandwidth required to get their day-to-day functions. Second, when a facility reports slow performance, I use this application to take a deeper dive into network traffic to make sure the traffic is valid and nothing is passing that shouldn't be.

If you need to monitor traffic, this is a good choice of application for the price. It does that very well. If you need to take a deep deep dive into the traffic, you will have to use something else but that is just standard with network troubleshooting... it takes multiple applications to get a complete picture... or a lot of money on 1 application. Beyond that, this application does what it is designed to do and does it very well. So to answer this question directly, this application is well suited for time when you need a high-level view of traffic and not suited well for times when you need to see more detailed information of what exactly is being sent.
