![ManageEngine Netflow Analyzer](https://www.manageengine.com/products/netflow/images/index/slider-bg1.avif)

Monitor enterprise network traffic and bandwidth for performance and security  

with NetFlow Analyzer v12.8

## Flow-based network traffic monitoring for in-depth traffic analysis.

### Why NetFlow Analyzer?

NetFlow Analyzer, a complete [traffic analytics tool](https://www.manageengine.com/products/netflow/network-traffic-analysis.html?nfa-index-whynfa), leverages [flow technologies](https://www.manageengine.com/products/netflow/what-is-netflow.html?nfa-index-whynfa) to provide real time visibility into network bandwidth performance. Primarily a bandwidth monitoring tool, it has optimized thousands of networks across the world by delivering a holistic view of network bandwidth and traffic patterns.

NetFlow Analyzer is a unified [network traffic monitor](https://www.manageengine.com/products/netflow/network-traffic-monitor.html?nfa-index-whynfa) that collects, analyzes, and reports how your network bandwidth is being used and by [whom](https://www.manageengine.com/products/netflow/Department-wise-bandwidth-monitoring-using-netflow-analyzer.html?nfa-index-whynfa). It helps optimize bandwidth usage across over a million interfaces worldwide, while also performing [network forensics](https://www.manageengine.com/products/netflow/network-forensics.html?index), network traffic analysis, and network flow monitoring.
