Hello,

Many people I know use the product from Arbor http://www.arbornetworks.com/

There are quite a few /fairly/ inexpensive commercial collectors, but it really comes down to what EXACTLY do you want to collect. I'd recommend downloading a trial and seeing what you need, what you like and what you don't need.

I personally use the flow-tools opensource package with various perl plugins to analyze for specifically what I need to collect.

we use ManageEngine's Netflow Analyser (NFA). A new release is due out shortly with greatly-enhanced functionality.

They have a pretty comprehensive suite of other apps as well.
