We performed a comparison between LogRhythm NetMon and SolarWinds NPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The analytics feature is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the log, which can be analyzed by our SIEM solution."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"It has a very strong artificial intelligence engine."
"NetMon's best feature is traffic analysis."
"Visibility is a valuable feature, the ability to see even if the traffic is not going into the firewall"
"The protocols with which you see the traffic for a particular website that a client has in their environment, for example, are valuable. We can monitor whether the traffic is up to the mark or whether they need to add more bandwidth. Also, we can see if we're able to get real-time environment data as well. The customization dashboard is really good. LogRhythm NetMon has its own in-built dashboards which are helpful in guiding customization."
"The interface is user-friendly, making it easy to use."
"This solution offers a very good view of our network and allows us to effectively monitor performance."
"The most valuable features of SolarWinds NPM are network performance monitoring and the overall benefit for servers."
"The initial setup is easy."
"We have configured multiple alerts for our network devices, including routers and switches, so that we are notified if any interface goes down."
"A product that is well-tested and trusted in demanding situations."
"Can easily be interconnected with other management systems."
"Technical support has always been great. They are very responsive. We've been satisfied with their level of support."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"LogRhythm NetMon's pricing model is an area of concern that should be made a little bit cheaper in comparison to the other players in the market currently."
"There is an issue with tunneling in relation to how the connectivity is established between the end devices and where NetMon is installed. On the console, I often observe that there's a difference of a few seconds or maybe a minute, and this lag time should not be there."
"I would like to see better integration with multiple products. Integration is not something that is readily available for most of the products."
"Sometimes it's hard to find the network devices' self-audit logs."
"Could use a topology diagram which would help get an exact visual."
"The training for this product is not very good and needs to be improved."
"Some of the automated tasks we can perform on QRadar cannot be performed on LogRhythm because the solution has limitations."
"If they did some type of synthetic monitoring, it would have been better."
"My team has had a lot of issues with support."
"It would be nice if SolarWinds could have a polling engine on the site that would collect the reporting and then manage everything itself."
"There needs to be more integration of widgets, especially for reporting purposes."
"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."
"The product is scalable, but at a cost. Extra modules have to be purchased for each extra server. The initial set up isn't complex, but will require someone who is experienced with the network monitoring system"
"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 solution could be more secure."
