Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"It does have different modules, so you can extend the solution as you need it, or get as little as you need in the beginning, so you don't have to buy a full set of modules. You just buy what you need and expand later on."
"In my case, I prefer to only poll interfaces that have descriptions, and the ones that don't have descriptions, I don't really want to know about them. It does allow for all these bits and pieces and adjustments, and fine tuning to get it to a point where it works for my needs."
"It allows for variable polling times of devices on the network. Because it's all in text, in general, that obviously makes it easier from the automation perspective as well, to modify configuration on the fly, using Puppet and those kind of tools."
"The installer itself is basically something that can be used as a no-questions-asked type of installer. I can use it with automation tools like Chef and Puppet. I don't have to answer some random questions. I can worry about all that stuff later on in the configuration."
"The big thing is the event management engine, which is really, really nice to use, and it comes at a reasonable price, unlike some of the competitors like Netcool from IBM. Those kinds of tools are hugely expensive and they come as resource-heavy types of solutions. This obviously doesn't require as much hardware, but it does offer similar benefits where you can manage all the events."
"The initial setup was straightforward. We deployed the solution from new and completed the upgrades."
"One of the best features is the reports feature."
"We can proactively fix historical issues, so we won't face those problems in future."
"It's a very good tool and a very stable tool."
"From web interfaces to custom monitors and alarms, this product has a high level of flexibility that can be molded to suit your business needs, regardless of the size of your organization."
"Being able to easily, and quickly obtain disc space statistics from servers and determine how much was free or used on various volumes."
"The biggest thing for me is that it provided enough information for me to monitor. It alerts and provides you with the information you need."
"SolarWinds NPM is a scalable solution since it can handle a huge number of users."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"These kinds of solutions are more node- or device-based solutions. It would be nice in the future if they could be more data-oriented, so it would be easier for me to pull different stats based on ad-hoc requirements; but in a big, centralized database where I can pull specific things, and mix and match the way I want to."
"My team has had a lot of issues with support."
"Technical support can be slow to respond."
"The evaluation time for the product is too short especially for large corporations."
"It would be nice if SolarWinds could have a polling engine on the site that would collect the reporting and then manage everything itself."
"The integration with the APIs and the web servers deployed can definitely be improved."
"The dashboard of the solution is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"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."
"The root cause analysis and installation faults are not clear."
