Use cases for flow analytics using SFLOW/Netflow/IPFIX

Can I request the community to provide some thoughts on WHY they use flow analytics features in the network. I understand what the various leading products in this space can do, but I am curious to hear from actual network operators what they actually use it for? Is it the visibility of top applications or users? Is it identifying malicious flows? Does anyone use flow analytics for troubleshooting endpoint connectivity - for example, if an employee is having connectivity or performance issues? Basically trying to separate the marketing fluff from vendors and what it really gets used for.
