"We're able to present data from multiple back-end collection sources into a single dashboard for the users. So they don't have to go to multiple locations to get data about a particular item, or device."
"The tool helps us understand network performance."
"One of the most valuable features is the ease of use."
"My sales representative, I would not trade him in for the world. He has done a really good job. I am really happy with him."
"I can get it to run a report showing, for instance, what root drives are in the critical range in terms of being full, like 90 percent full, and disseminate that information to the other areas of the organization."
"It is the gathering of the whole performance data in our environment and our network environment, for us and our customers."
"Great dashboards and good integration with other solutions."
"The features we find most valuable is the configuration backup automation, the configuration compliance, the security vulnerability detection and upgrading devices."
"It is pretty straightforward to set up."
"Its main functionality is highly beneficial as it centralizes the management of configuration items across the network."
"We push all our configurations to the servers with ease and the logs capture almost all the transactions needed for an internal audit."
"The feature that I really enjoy is the ability to script changes across all of your devices."
"Compared to other vendors, like NetBrain, managing the solution is easy. They made it very user-friendly."
"The installation is straightforward."
"The scanning features have proven to be highly valuable, particularly due to the comprehensive information they provide."
"This solution is not very scalable."
"Policies could be improved."
"I think it would be helpful having a more comprehensive set of certifications so that I could natively deploy devices to my environment and the tool would immediately recognize and immediately be able to provide relevant performance information without a lot of tuning on my part."
"I would like to have more tasks, graphs, and possibilities for linking to the graphs and reports added to the solution."
"This tool gathers so much data, which makes it hard to convert over. To upgrade it, you really need the solution backed up. That is the issue that we are facing right now."
"It could be a little easier to integrate new metrics."
"CA PM can be complex to build and configure. Creating the folders / groups / sites required establishing many rule sets."
"Global synchronization errors. Sometimes it just doesn't finish in time due to the load."
"Our experience has shown that most of the problems we've had with SolarWinds NCM are related to software issues."
"The network logs could be improved. When the error logs come across with those false positive alarms in the error logs."
"For each device, when you open the network performance monitor, it will give you all of the information about the device, but many of the natural configuration management features are not on that page."
"It would be great if they include a network service manager, network performance manager, or a privileged assessment in the next release."
"When we run the SolarWinds NCM jobs at the cellular line, it runs in the morning. They're just not finishing. We're getting false processing."
"Its look and feel can be improved. They can also put in more effort into building the THWACK community and use the information about various customer issues and requests to build the new releases."
"Improvements are needed in the automatic network mapping function."
"The only thing that requires some experience, and training doesn't fix, is how to set up your custom policy-based reports to check compliance."
