FWIW, I've been using flow-tools and the FlowViewer plugin for Cacti for
several years now. Works good nuf for me. We're averaging about 10GB/day
of flow data. I have about 40 routers sending stats to it. I don't have
our upstream interfaces in the mix since RouterOS doesn't include the
BGP stuffs, because MikroTik is lame.

full, here's with what) and Kentik for automatic RTBF.

Calix's Compass is actually really good. It's hosted, priced based on
endpoints (not quantity of exporters), great categorization (i.e.
Netflix, Youtube, etc). They also do endpoint to customer mapping
from various sources (DHCP option-82, RADIUS, their own management
platform, etc.).

Depends on flow volumes and stuff.. talked to them at NANOG and

For a low volume shop they seem to have a slick solution - only
seen a brief demo. However, depending on volume they do not
scale “well” - we were told that we would need several racks of
servers to deal with volume :(
Arbor Peakflow is the best product out there hands down … but
it’s well into 6 figures so your budget may not support it ….

What are your opinions on Netflow servers/software?
I've been doing some research into using Netflow again.
Long time ago I used NTOP, but it sucked.
Not sure if that's changed or not.
Ideally would be a much newer improved interface type
system that was hosted for a few bucks a month.
Then I could just sign up and point my Netflow streams to it.
I need one that is geared towards ISPs, not
Datacenter/Servers.
I don't care about netflowing and optimizing web sites, I
want to profile my customer traffic.
Ideally it would include features necessary for CALIA and
law enforcement requirements.
If it was also great at syslog management that would be a
plus.
The Dude currently sucks for syslog IMO.
