This is a great system, but it costs a lot, too, so I believe its price is the biggest issue with this system . And it requires a fair bit of hardware and time to set up the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It's an expensive and limited function software"
What do you like best about SolarWinds Observability?

One of the standout features of SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA) is its ability to provide in-depth visibility into network traffic patterns. The software efficiently collects and analyzes NetFlow, J-Flow, sFlow, IPFIX, and NetStream data from various network devices. This comprehensive analysis allows for accurate monitoring and troubleshooting of network performance issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SolarWinds Observability?

While SolarWinds NTA offers an array of powerful features, a few areas could be improved. One limitation is the complexity of the initial setup and configuration. Setting up the software to collect and analyze network traffic data from different devices may require technical expertise and network protocol familiarity.

Due to it being business software, the license fee of this platform is expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
