But they are certainly not alone in the biz. Ontop of my head...

* Flowmon
* Talaia
* Arbor Peakflow
* Deepfield
* Pmacct + supporting toolkit
* NFsen/Nfdump/AS-stats
* Put kibana/ES infront of any collector

Logstash has a netflow plugin as of 5.x or something (https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/netflow-module.html) to act as a collector.

A walkthrough:
http://www.routereflector.com/2017/07/elk-as-a-free-netflow-ipfix-collector-and-visualizer/

Using the logstash module setup thing adds a whole bunch of pretty netflow graphs and visualizations and such into Kibana for you.

Caveat:
Supports netflow v5 and v9, but does not indicate support for IPFIX explicitly. It definitely does not support sFlow, though if you really want you can stick sflowtool in front of it to translate sFlow->netflow, e.g. http://blog.sflow.com/2011/12/sflowtool.html.

* Solarwinds something something
* Different vendor toolkits
