I haven't played with many GUI tools other than FlowBAT, which is very new,
but I have been using SiLK at scale for some time now, and it's been very
stable.

Since we run securityonion, I've been using these instructions for
installing SiLK/Yaf and configuring rwflowpack:
http://www.appliednsm.com/silk-on-security-onion/  (With the latest code
version from CERT)

it also works for collecting Netflow data if you listen on the right ports.

I'm definitely going to look at FlowViewer as an alternative to our plan of
getting the SiLK flow records into R and using a chart package. While GUI
tools are great, the command-line SiLK tools work very well if you want to
know exactly which IPs a host has contacted, at what times, on which ports,
and how much data was sent/received.
