Hi,

Wondering over the web there seems to be very few (good) network monitor tools and still wanting in terms of LAN monitoring activities. The ones that come close listed below have not really impressed fully;

> manage-engine netflow analyser

> manage-engine opmanager

> orion netflow/net tools

Am looking for a good monitor tool - all inclusive of

• netflow analyser
• inspection of packets and report rogues
• scheduled reporting
• protocol analysis
• LAN PC activities (web, LAN/netbios), analysis unusual activities on LAN and reporting
• maybe some aspects of firewall or intrusion detection system and NOT necessarily IDS but should send alerts if certain thresholds are reached.

Whether open source or otherwise advise.\

Regards,

Wilson./
