"We don't have any issues with the stability of SolarWinds NPM."

"We had some stability issues at the outset that have since been resolved."

"We decided that we were no longer going to trust that their products have not been capitalized."
"They need to work on their automation and automatically discover devices. They are not very good at automatically discovering devices."

"Sometimes there are issues when upgrading to a new version of the product."
"Fortigate firewalls are one example of a product that we are unable to monitor properly via SolarWinds NPM."
"Application Performance Monitoring should be included in this solution."
"It would be nice to have a test to check if you can access a particular device via API without installing it and waiting for a poll cycle. You should have the capacity to initiate a test to see if it was reachable and get the results almost immediately."
"The price of the solution can be improved."
