NetFlow Analyzer goes one step ahead in monitoring with packet-level analysis capabilities (Deep Packet Inspection)

ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer adds Deep Packet Inspection capabilities to troubleshoot application issues faster with the latest build v12.2. Now you can capture network packets from the flow with free tools available in market and analyze them with the help of NetFlow Analyzer's DPI feature. This feature helps you calculate application vs. network response time, application traffic volume details, and user conversation details. The new capturing capabilities in NetFlow Analyzer provide the following reports and insights:  
  1. ​Response time dashboard to view an at-a-glance summary of applications
  2. Network and application response time reports to help troubleshoot performance issue faster
  3. Application traffic volume reports and drill-down options to know which users are using the most bandwidth
  4. Criteria-based custom search reports  for user-specific reports
