You might think of Scrutinizer as akin to the popular Wireshark network packet sniffer and indeed in some ways they are similar. Using the software I was able to easily create customizable reports to determine which hosts, applications, protocols, etc. NetFlow Analyzer is an easy solution for net admins to better understand bandwidth consumption, traffic trends, applications, hosts and traffic anomalies.

Scrutinizer is an excellent tool to monitor your network infrastructure and pinpoint problems. Flow exporter: an appliance or network device (usually a router or firewall) in charge of collecting flow information and exporting it to a flow collector. Having insights into your network is critical as time-sensitive network applications such as VoIP, video conferencing, and unified communications are deployed. It also supports Juniper Jflow and Juniper IPFIX, SonicWALL NetFlow and SonicWALL IPFIX and Citrix AppFlow. ![]() It's a great product that supports NetFlow used by popular routers and switches, including the popular Cisco ASA series of firewall/security routers, Checkpoint, Adtran, Riverbed, and more.
