Hi all, I got the Netflow part configured on my routers, however finding a piece of software that shows me everything seems to be rough. I am looking at the PRTG software not happy with the interface. Doesn't break it down far enough .. IE INBOUND , OUTBOUND etc .. Can any of you recommend something decent ? I went to Cisco's page and saw their listing for 'Commerical Software' and with all the choices my eyes glazed over. Any recommendations?

I should also mention I need it to work in a Windows Enviroment .. :)
Well I don't know what budget you have or how many interfaces/devices you need to monitor, but we use or have looked at the following:
Crannog Netflow Tracker:

Plixer's Scrutinizer:

Solarwinds Netflow Analyser:

I can recommend the first, and we're using an old copy, not sure how much better the current one is. The second didn't scale that well for us & wha twe wanted to do, but looked good if it suits your needs. Solarwinds' product is just stupidly expensive iirc, and if you're looking to integrate with a network monitoring system like Solarwinds' Orion NPM, Scrutinizer does that pretty well from what I've been lead to believe though we didn't get as far as testing that.
Hope that is of some use.
Regards,

I think we paid around 4000 USD for 50 interfaces. There is a free version on the website which supports upto two interfaces.
