A SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer Alternative With Real Visibility
While SolarWinds excels at SNMP monitoring, its NetFlow Traffic Analyzer fails to deliver beyond basic functionality. Only Flowmon, with its dedicated NetFlow-first architecture, will provide you with the necessary network traffic visibility you need for effective troubleshooting, application performance monitoring, and anomaly detection.

30 Minutes to Deploy
From zero to actionable data on the dashboard in 30 minutes. Use presets and predefined dashboards for automatic configuration or create your own to shape the tool to your specific needs.
Broad vs. Deep Visibility
Network monitoring is not infrastructure monitoring. Technologies built around SNMP do an excellent job telling you that some network element is in trouble, but to actually discover why the issue exists, you need actionable data and deep network traffic visibility.
But that doesn't mean it has to be one or the other. It's a good idea to build the overall picture of your infrastructure's health and availability with SNMP monitoring and switch to dedicated network traffic monitoring whenever you need solid insights on the root cause of issues. Plus, with the visibility Kemp Flowmon provides, you will be able to discover problems that SNMP solutions ignore completely.
