Affordable solution for every size of business, in every regard

NetFlow Analyzer follows an interface-based pricing model with different pricing tiers depending on the interface capacities. You also get a freemium version for up to 10 interfaces. On the other hand, Solarwinds follows an element-based pricing model and requires a separate purchase of Solarwinds NPM. Additionally, the pricing for Solarwinds NTA starts only at 100 interfaces, making it rigid for small-scale businesses. Solarwinds has also removed its perpetual licensing option, offering only subscription-based pricing, which further limits long-term ownership flexibility.
