Find out in this report how the two Cloud 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."
"Scalability and flexibility. The product can grow with your infrastructure so you don't have to install other products. Just add components. It's very simple."
"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports."
"It gives an alarm when there's something going on, not just when there's an expected spike that happens every night on a server."
"The feature that we've found to be very helpful is the way the solution categorizes the devices to identify groups, groups of devices and clusters. This allows us to be aware of their position within the topology."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"SolarWinds NPM is a scalable solution since it can handle a huge number of users."
"This solution offers a very good view of our network and allows us to effectively monitor performance."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the monitoring capabilities."
"SolarWinds dashboard is very fast. Also, their interface is very good, it looks very user-friendly. The product allows me to see a summary of the network being monitored at a glance."
"Their support team is efficient, and it is easy to set up."
"It's a very good tool and a very stable tool."
"I can do everything remotely, including running PowerShell scripts or performing standard updates."
"It gives us a map of the network setup and one console to see the entire network."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"There is also room for improvement in the reporting. It is not really good enough, according to our customers. So what we now usually do is use Power BI to get them the kinds of reports they want."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"I'd also like to see more probes. More probes in the sense that we were coming across devices that we're expected to monitor and manage for which, out of the box, there isn't a nice, clean solution. There are probes that are dedicated for certain devices and certain device types, which is great. But then there are times we come across nuanced products that we have to develop our own solution for. There are probes that exist in there that allow us to make a customized solution, but it takes a lot more time."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"SolarWinds NPM could improve the graphics of the interface and more customized reporting."
"The aesthetic widgets should be dynamic widgets, so the customization can be even more customizable."
"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."
"There isn't support available to us as they don't offer support in our country."
"Currently lacks integration with SMS services."
"The dashboard of the solution is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"SolarWinds NPM can be very slow at times. The database optimization can be done to improve the product performance."
"Fortigate firewalls are one example of a product that we are unable to monitor properly via SolarWinds NPM."
