Why Noction Flow Analyzer
One product. One price. Full IP flow visibility.
Noction Flow Analyzer is built as a dedicated, purpose-specific application for network traffic analysis. It doesn’t try to be a server monitoring tool, an AIOps platform, or a general IT management suite. Every feature exists because flow analysis demanded it.
That focus translates into a simpler licensing model, faster time to value, and a deployment you actually control — on your own Linux server, inside your own network, with your flow data never leaving your perimeter.
Regardless of which platform you’re currently using or evaluating, NFA’s differentiators are consistent: flat-rate pricing based on flows per second, no per-device or per-interface counting, unlimited users and dashboards, and a 30-day trial that lets you validate everything.
All Protocols, All Vendors
NetFlow, IPFIX, sFlow, J-Flow, NetStream support. Validated with Cisco, Juniper, Huawei, Arista, MikroTik, Brocade, and more.
30-Day Self-Serve Trial
Sign up, receive your activation key by email, and have live traffic graphs in minutes.
Truly Unlimited Monitoring
No cap on devices, interfaces, sites, users, dashboards, or alert policies — across every plan.
