Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Has really nice roll-up dashboards."
"The best thing about this solution is that you can check for the infrastructure and system updates that you might need to be compliant with the Cloud."
"Fewer vulnerabilities have been observed in the four years we have used the solution."
"Mobile application is the most valuable feature for us. We can monitor all the storages on our phones. It's really good."
"The tool for forecasting capacity is valuable."
"SolarWinds NPM provides an overview of network monitoring, extending its capabilities to cover other aspects, such as virtual machines and servers. The platform has features like NetPath, which is particularly beneficial for end-users, offering insights into issues like latency, packet loss, and connectivity problems with routers, switches, or servers."
"The initial setup is easy."
"I like that SolarWinds NPM is a strong tool for monitoring network devices, switches, and routers. It's also a user-friendly tool. My team also likes how scalable it is."
"We had some interfaces where the SFP Ports were having some problems after a while. We found which of the SFP Ports was having the error and changed it, so the bandwidth become okay."
"I found a lot of valuable features in SolarWinds NPM, such as the customized application monitoring that allows you to customize any monitoring and script customization, and you also have the option to deploy and upgrade SolarWinds NPM online, which is very useful for my organization."
"The solution is easy to install and it takes a couple of hours."
"The ability to quickly identify downtime is the most valuable."
"It is very extensible with 'SWQL' and APIs to where we are beginning to integrate it with network automation."
"Supporting legacy systems is an area that can be improved."
"PowerScale is the only file system offered and that is limiting."
"In terms of improvement, they should enhance the product range."
"The reporting capabilities of this solution could be improved."
"Doesn't do well in terms of integrating with technologies other than Dell."
"We decided that we were no longer going to trust that their products have not been capitalized."
"Technical support and releases are not particularly reliable."
"A feature I would ask for is for them to have this solution available for Linux systems instead of Windows."
"The tool can only monitor up to 1000 instances in a single SolarWinds console. Customers may have over 1000 instances. Hence, it needs to support a minimum of 1500 instances. It should also improve support."
"The interface could be made more user-friendly."
"Consolidation of platforms would provide a smoother experience."
"They need to work on their automation and automatically discover devices. They are not very good at automatically discovering devices."
"Time: A worldwide deployment can be confusing for dispersed users with non-local times. Each node should have a local time (with summer offset if appropriate) & each user should view & report in their local time."
