4.3
Overview
Progress Flowmon for AWS is a software solution specially designed for the analysis of cloud and on-prem traffic. It processes traffic data from vTAP, both VPC Traffic Mirroring and third-party, collects flows (NetFlow/IPFIX/VPC FlowLogs) and analyzes them to provide insight for resolving service degradations or maintaining the availability of business-critical applications. The solution does not rely on proprietary flow data sources, making it well-suited for deployment in heterogeneous environments. Performance and storage capacity varies by license.
Highlights
- A comprehensive NetOps monitoring and diagnostic tool
- High scalability and extremely short time-to-value
- Real-time traffic visibility

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the AWS EC2 instance type that runs Progress Flowmon for AWS. Pricing is usage-based, so you are billed only for the hours each instance runs. The many dimensions represent different EC2 instance families and sizes, including general-purpose (m3, m4, m5, m5n), compute-optimized (c3, c4, c5, c5n), memory-optimized (r5, r5n), and burstable (t2, t3) types. Within each family, larger sizes provide more compute, memory, and network capacity for higher traffic volumes. You choose the instance that matches your network monitoring workload and scale by selecting a size accordingly.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You pay per hour for each running EC2 instance that hosts Progress Flowmon. Charges accrue only while the instance runs. Fully stopped instances stop accruing software charges, though underlying AWS storage fees for the volume may still apply separately from the software licence.
You scale by choosing a different instance size or family. Larger sizes handle higher traffic volumes but bill at a higher hourly rate. You run one instance type at a time, so your hourly cost matches the size you select for your workload.
Choose based on your resource needs. Compute-optimized families (c3, c4, c5, c5n) favor processing. Memory-optimized (r5, r5n) favor large data sets. General-purpose (m3, m4, m5, m5n) balance both. Burstable (t2, t3) suit lighter, variable traffic. Each meters the same way, by running hour.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

The best Network monitoring and security tool, that I have seen. In terms of scalability. The precise metrics that we get from this tool are promising and this is the cost-effective. We all need less cost and more efficiency is int it :) .
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few cons about this tool, where only experienced user can access and understand the tool in effective way. If you are a start-up then cost price is a demerit.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mainly it will focus on Network monitoring, and security compliance, and audit purposes. deep data granularity and the best feature is it will detect the root cause precisely.

Network traffic monitoring helps organisations a great visibility into network performance, anamoly detection, network security,helps identifying potential threats.
Flowmon undeniably is a great platform that offers all the above features.
Flowmon processes telemetry data like ip flows and raw packets from various network devices which is stored and can be later used to analyse the network traffic and create data visualisation dashboards.
With organisations moving all their infrastructure to cloud,best part is that it supports monitoring cloud and hybrid environments.
It is easy to use and integrate in an environment, they provide great customer support.
