ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer

Great tool for advanced network monitoring

Kommentare: Generally I like this product and find it very useful when I need to spot an IP which causes network issues even if it's unintentional. The software is quite stable and easy to use. It has rich dashboards, reporting and notification abilities. It supports many flow types like Sflow, Netflow, Jflow, IPFIx, etc. and even it has agent which helps to translate certain non-flow network into flow or it can do DPI or analyze internet speed traffic. It's very versatile.

Vorteile:

This is one of the most useful monitoring tools among ManageEngine ITOM products for network technicians who simply wants to best of it. It's basically a collector but with many logical grouping mechanism and very troubleshoot-purpose reports, it becomes very versatile tool in technicians hands. It saves time and gives accurate information for problematic sides of network. Additionally, it has some extra modules like NCM and OpUtils which is a great plus. For the ones those want to make sure the root cause of network problems, it is indeed a must-have software for proactive approach networking.

Nachteile:

Even if the greatest tools can have problems and Netflow Analyzer has very few. My only wish about this product that I have to configure the network devices for flow configuration manually. I can basically do it over UI but some network device flow configuration settings can be outdated and which doesn't help to make the flow monitoring activated in a small of time. Since I'm accustomed to make these configs from the devices itself, no problem for me but it can be time saver if they're all updated, riched (for different model/brand of network devices) and configured easily.

Network Engineer

Vorteile:

Easy to manage, GUI experience, multiple options like Schedule reports, Bandwidth monitoring, Alert profiles to name a few, Support on P1 issues and during upgardes are much appreciated

Nachteile:

nothing specific to mention, for minor issues response time need to be improved

Manageengine Netflow Analyzer performs far better than the pricing would suggest.

Kommentare: Overall we are glad we get it as an addon to the greater Opmanager product that we purchased. The integration as made things so much easier for our Network Admins to go to one place and get all the info they need on our network health.

Vorteile:

Cost is a big one. Manageengine is very competitive with their pricing and their software performs as well as, or better than competitors multiple times more expensive. Integration. Nearly everything ME puts out talks with their other products in some way. Either just some data and feature sharing via API, or fully being integrated into another larger product like Netflow is with Opmanager. So either you get the stand-alone software or you buy the whole suite, but they function the same.Overall Features. ME just gives you SOOO much within their software. I have a lot more capability that our agency did prior to switching to ME products.

Nachteile:

Can be a little difficult to configure with some firewalls. Our Fortinet didn't want to play nice without some time spend tweaking things and contacting ME for some additional support.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Auvik

Warum ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer gewählt wurde: Pricing and capability. Auvik told us a lot of info that didn't really mean much in the grand scheme of our network

Zuvor genutzte Software: Auvik

Gründe für den Wechsel zu ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer: We already had Opmanager, so making the decision to add-on Netflow that snaped right into our existing software was a no-brainer and made deployment and usage much easier.
