IT Project Manager Hospitality Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Allowed the correlation of flow data concerning security threats" April 16, 2025 4.0 Pros NetFlow Analyzer provided me different visibility of bandwidth utilization to interface level and traffic flow. I utilized it to mute top talkers during downtimes and it even helped to identify traffic incurrence from prohibited sources that would have required me to set up a number of filters. Cons It is limited to few formats of reporting and there is no easy way to schedule a detailed drill-down report. I began to repeatedly create the same traffic usage reports and there was an option to automatically send them as an email. Review Source EC Emma C. Plant and Quality Manager Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "It avails me precise traffic analysis for cost control" April 8, 2025 4.0 Pros The cost analysis feature is effective in defending bandwidth costs. I get to monitor unnecessary or superfluous application and administering policies without headaches, while the integration with firewalls provide me with additional layers of security information to go by. Cons In terms of improvement there is only one issue the time it may take for the dashboard to reload when dealing with densities. Exporting specific reports that are customized is restrained and is only possible in the default formats mentioned above. Review Source AO Adiel O. IT Head Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Perfect companion for bandwidth audits and alerts" April 11, 2025 4.0 Pros The use of NetFlow Analyzer alerts not only on network traffic congestion but on certain applications crossing usage threshold as well. These I incorporate with the help of firewall and proxy logs to confirm compliance with set policies and violation in real time. Cons The NetFlow Collector may not auto-refresh when there is high amount of data and sampling is in progress. To monitor metrics I had to reload views to view the update and this disrupted observation during stress tests or live incident diagnosis. Review Source BP Bishnu P.
