Netflow analyser client

in CCNA & CCENT
Having looked into this, is anyone using a netflow client to analyse the traffic?
Solarwinds appears to be the most popular but that appears to be a hungry beast regarding resources and memory.
Can anyone here recommend a trial or full version of a netflow analyser that will run on a laptop/PC?
Thank you.

Thank you, it looks good and they do a web based front end which always helps.“I'm always admitting I'm wrong. That's how I eventually get to right.” -

I've been a fan of Ntop/Nprobe as a "free" solution. I've also had great luck with Manage Engine's Netflow Analyzer and for certain deployments, Riverbed Cascade ($$$).CCIE Sec: Starting Nov 11 -

down77 beat me to it- I've used the trial of Manage Engine's netflow analyzer as well and really liked it. -

Thank you both for the recommendation, I don't need overkill on this with hardware or memory performance. Just an analyser that collects the data and gives a decent display either text or graph representation. I've been advised to learn it for the upcoming exam!“I'm always admitting I'm wrong.
