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 traffic monitoring and the traffic analysis are great."
"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager makes it easy to monitor all the network alerts on the application."
"Device backups are smooth and managed centrally, with a nice dashboard, so you can quickly see the status."
"Some of the most valuable features are the accessibility of the solution and the fact that it is simpler than other products. For example, discovering devices in the network is very simple, making it user-friendly."
"We find the networking aspect of this solution to be the most valuable."
"Defining thresholds and other alerting criteria is fairly simple and would not require a lot of training. This is very useful if you are managing a large environment."
"It is easy to use and deploy."
"We don't have to keep an eye on it; it has a good automation option, which keeps us informed. It gives very less false positives. Overall, a really great product."
"As we look to add more servers to our virtual environment and to understand the impact, the solution allows us to dig into the historical charts related to capacity planning."
"The solution ranks as one of the top five monitoring tools."
"The most valuable features in SolarWinds NPM are the network search and diagnostic tools."
"I like SolarWinds support because it's 24/7. You describe your issues, your situation and maybe two or three hours later you can discuss a solution with a technical engineer."
"The most valuable features of SolarWinds NPM are network performance monitoring and the overall benefit for servers."
"The set up was very easy. We didn't have any problems with the setup. The deployment took less than an hour."
"SolarWinds' network and server application monitoring features are strong."
"The most valuable feature is the graphical user interface."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The dashboard could include more features."
"The solution is a bit difficult to configure. There are quite a number of configurations and plugins that you must handle early in the process."
"It would be great if there were some sort of artificial intelligence feature which would help us make improvements in the network once we find an issue, and do it automatically."
"They should add more features to URL monitoring."
"The solution's reports need to include the number of applications consumed."
"We have been facing an issue since last year when a lot of our users started to work from home through their mobiles or computers. We are having trouble reaching these devices. We are now planning to publish our instance to the cloud so that we can reach these devices. Its performance should be improved in terms of the discovery of the devices. I would like to feel confident with the discovery that this solution does. For example, on my dashboard, I would like to be able to view a list of all devices seen on a specific server. At present, it is difficult to find such information. This would be an excellent feature to have."
"The main area for improvement for ManageEngine OpManager is its performance."
"The storage level monitoring needs improvement. It needs storage level monitoring on the server itself. That feature is lacking right now."
"The solution's network discovery and node addition processes need more work."
"If they’re going for a “cover everything” approach, then they need to do so and enable a bit more of the "cover everything approach" within every one of the tools."
"GUI needs improvement with a more graphical dashboard."
"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."
"We also had to be attentive to vulnerabilities, because SolarWinds NPM have some issues in that area. We had to work with our security team, so that they could help us check and backup the data, and check what they needed to secure."
"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."
"I think Solar Winds NPM needs to create a profile with documentation responsibility."
"The solution's customer service is not very good because the support takes too long."
