NFDUMP and NfSen
NFDUMP is a set of tools to capture/record, dump,
filter, and replay NetFlow (v5/v7/9) data. Can filter flows according
to multiple user-defined profiles. NfSen is a Graphical
Web-based front-end for the NFDUMP tools. Plots aggregate statistics
over time, supports filtering and drilling down up to the individual

Stager
Alla fine dopo vari prodotti e test ho scelto Stager come strumento per la visualizzazione di dati provenienti da NetFlow.
"Stager is a system for aggregating and presenting network statistics.
