ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer : Unified Network Traffic Monitor

NetFlow Analyzer offers complete network bandwidth monitoring and traffic analysis, tailored for the needs of today’s dynamic IT environments. It provides visibility into hybrid and cloud networks, detailed insights into bandwidth usage, and in-depth traffic analytics to proactively address performance bottlenecks.

Here’s how NetFlow Analyzer simplifies bandwidth monitoring,

1. Multi-vendor support: NetFlow Analyzer supports a variety of flow technologies (such as NetFlow, sFlow, IPFIX, etc.), providing comprehensive bandwidth monitoring and facilitating root cause analysis. It also enables monitoring of non-flow devices through the Network Packet Sensor.
2. Application usage monitoring: With NetFlow Analyzer, you can gain detailed application-specific traffic insights, including usage by application and user, along with visibility into Layer 4 and Layer 7 traffic. Integrate with Applications Manager to track custom applications and other service performance.
3. Traffic shaping: NetFlow Analyzer streamlines application performance management by allowing the application of QoS policies and assessing their effectiveness using CBQoS, which shows traffic trends before and after policy implementation.
4. Anomaly detection: NetFlow Analyzer actively detects abnormal traffic and alerts administrators about suspicious IPs or traffic patterns. In addition to the existing configurations, administrators can define new algorithms and thresholds to identify attacks and prevent network disruptions.
5. Wireless network traffic monitoring: NetFlow Analyzer provides insights into wireless controllers and their real-time traffic data. Organizations can monitor the number of users connecting to their wireless network by tracking individual access points, SSIDs, client IP addresses, and MAC addresses. This detailed data enables organizations to gain insights into bandwidth usage and identify any unauthorized devices on the network.
6. Threshold-based alerts: Adminis can establish baseline behavior and configure alert profiles with specific criteria and severity levels, using different alert categories such as real-time, aggregated, and security. If performance or traffic behavior strays from expected levels, NetFlow Analyzer promptly notifies administrators through their selected notification channel.
7. Network forensics: NetFlow Analyzer’s forensics reports make root cause analysis easier by offering in-depth, raw-data insights into historical network traffic, including metrics such as TCP flags, Next Hop, and Packet Loss.
8. Capacity planning: NetFlow Analyzer’s capacity planning reports provide bandwidth usage forecasts, allowing organizations to make informed decisions about network upgrades based on trends in application performance and overall network utilization.
