Selecting the Right Edition

What problems does it solve?

One of the key issues in network management is knowing the genuineness of traffic. Capacity considerations affect investment decisions, policies, usage and consequentially the business as a whole. NetFlow Analyzer gives detailed information on network bandwidth usage pattern for traffic analysis, capacity planning and making policy decisions. By drilling down into the specific applications, users, ports or communication network managers are able to determine the exact source of spikes and bursts and therefore able to proactively monitor, control, and take informed decisions.

What benefit does it offer?

In-depth visibility with top hosts, applications, DSCP, TCP_Flag and AS information for every link and for configurable IP Based departments and divisions, Fine Grained Application Categorization and Recognition using Cisco NBAR, Proactive alerting and Scheduling of reports, Privilege based user access, usage based billing, reporting on Cisco CBQoS, Cisco NBAR and much more. Simply put, NetFlow Analyzer helps you with network traffic monitoring with easy-to-understand reports for a better understanding of the bandwidth utilization in you network.

Platforms:

NetFlow Analyzer runs both in Windows & Linux.
Vendors: CISCO, Juniper, HP, APC, IBM, Intel, Microsoft.
Technologies: Cisco NetFlow, jFlow, sFlow, IPFIX, NetStream, Cisco NBAR, Cisco CBQoS are some of the few technologies supported by NetFlow Analyzer for a network traffic monitoring. Using the flows exported from above mentioned devices, NetFlow analyzer is able to analyze the network traffic and give a detailed report on bandwidth utilization, top talkers, applications, conversations etc.

Network Bandwidth Monitoring Features:

NetFlow Analyzer comes with a rich feature set that makes bandwidth analysis a lot less complicated.

No hardware probes
Just direct NetFlow exports from your NetFlow-enabled devices to NetFlow Analyzer to get the most detailed view of bandwidth usage across your network.

Simplified Bandwidth Analysis
View bandwidth usage patterns and generate reports across LAN and WAN links without having to deploy expensive hardware probes.

Extensive Graphs and Reports
NetFlow Analyzer includes over 30 different graphs and reports with the option to drill down for specific details, giving you instant access to the information that is most important to you. View graphs online for different time periods, export them as PDF, and more.

Device Grouping
Useful in NOC and MSP setups, this feature in NetFlow Analyzer lets you group devices exporting NetFlow into different categories, monitor them exclusively, and grant access privileges to users.

Traffic Configuration
NetFlow Analyzer identifies most enterprise applications like Oracle, PeopleSoft, etc. automatically, and custom applications can be easily recognized by a combination of the specific ports and protocols used.

Authorized access
NetFlow Analyzer lets you create any number of users, with different access permissions and selectively allow access to view traffic graphs, generate traffic reports, and so on.

Web-based Remote Access
NetFlow Analyzer offers a web-based user interface making it easy to view traffic reports and instant snapshots of WAN links from anywhere on the network using just a web browser.

Multi-platform Deployment
NetFlow Analyzer can be run on Windows and Linux platforms making it suitable for use across varied enterprises.

Affordable Solution
NetFlow Analyzer starts at $795 for 10 interfaces, and runs as a stand alone tool unlike most network management solutions that offer NetFlow analysis.

Supported Devices
NetFlow Analyzer is a NetFlow, sFlow, JFLow (and more) collector and analyzing engine integrated together. NetFlow analyzer does not require any hardware probes and can be downloaded, used in your network environment and can be evaluated for 30 days.
