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."I like that it not only has the ability to monitor but that it can do a lot of specific Citrix monitoring."
"Offers a diversity of features."
"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."
"The SolarWinds NPM framework, upon which most of their flagship products are built, empowers a wide variety of admins and users to quickly find value in their installed products."
"With just three modules, I can monitor server performance (whether it’s a VM, in the cloud, or an on-premises server."
"We found that it was easy to operate, and it was simple if anyone has entry-level working experience or even if someone is not experienced."
"This solution offers a very good view of our network and allows us to effectively monitor performance."
"The benefit of this solution is the reporting. We're able to report on and see our network in a graphical form. We are able to detect when a device is added to a network."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its graphical interface and reports."
"It gives us a map of the network setup and one console to see the entire network."
"I would love to be able to tell what ISP the user is coming from."
"Issues with generating reports; consistency is not there."
"SolarWinds NPM can be very slow at times. The database optimization can be done to improve the product performance."
"The improvement would be that SolarWinds NPM thoroughly checks its patches before releasing them to the market. Better testing, alpha testing, and then releasing it to the market."
"The SolarWinds notification and alerting configuration could be simplified as it would be easier to find if it was within the NPM web application instead of in a separate client application."
"Technical support and releases are not particularly reliable."
"SolarWinds NPM needs to increase its elements. One polling engine can only support 10,000 elements then it becomes slow. There are limitations even if you have the full SLX version license."
"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 solution's customer service is not very good because the support takes too long."
"The console could be more user-friendly. It would be better if SolarWinds updated the user interface."
