Can you please provide the roadmap for your billing module. I'm interested in the next forecast features and the estimated time of release....Angelo

Hi Angelo,

We have not planned on any additions to the billing module in our next release. Depending on feature requests and demand volume from users, we will be considering new features in the billing module for later versions.

Network Behavior Anomaly Detection is a priority for the next major release along with some other features. Since we have not finalized the features, we are unable to comment at this point on the features and the estimated time of release. We will certainly keep you posted as soon as we have the finalized list of features for the next product version.

Do let us know if you have any further queries and we will be happy to assist you at the earliest.

Why does the Professional version keep getting the feature updates while those of us with the enterprise version keep getting left in the dark? 

Hi,

We definitely understand your concern and we appreciate posting this question as this is one query we are often asked.

New features and product enhancements are first brought into the Professional edition of NetFlow Analyzer after extensive testing and studying the impact of the feature on the product.

The Enterprise edition is concentrated on scalability as it caters to large enterprises with distributed architecture and high flow rate devices. Any feature, before being brought into the Enterprise edition, is redesigned to ensure its working in a distributed architecture and enhanced to meet the scalability requirements of large enterprises.
