ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer is a network managing program developed by AdventNet. The purpose of this program is to monitor network bandwidth. It obviously uses NetFlow - a format, exported from Cisco routers - that provides all the network information.
The application is installed as a Windows service on the PC, which basically collects data. It also launches a web-interface that can be accessed remotely. This interface allows the creation of usernames and passwords, so that different specialists could have access to the reports. After configuring the NetFlow data you can start filtering the data. Here you can see the exact number of packages that are sent to a specific address or a device. With this program you can learn the network patterns even if they are in different devices. You can also find if there are bottlenecks in the network. As such, this program is not cheap, licenses start at $795; however, searching on the network you can find other NetFlow Analyzers that are cheaper. There is a 30-day trial period that will help you to decide whether you want this program or not.
