"We don't have any issues with the stability of SolarWinds NPM."
"The solution ranks as one of the top five monitoring tools."

"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."
"In terms of scalability, there is room for improvement. When you start monitoring, if you have so many interfaces and you're trying to monitor them at a faster interval, or a shorter interval, you get to a point where you need to request another node."
"Technical support and releases are not particularly reliable."
"Scalability is a bit tricky because it requires more gateways in order to get the performance you may need. It also requires a lot of licensing."
"The dashboard of the solution is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"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."
"They have had a rather large security breach in the past. It's cost some companies customers."
"SolarWinds NPM could improve by adding the deepest inspection, performance networking, and IP address discovery."
"The solution's customer service is not very good because the support takes too long."
