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."
"The number of probes available. Out of the box, I believe about 200 probes are available. And, if there's a probe that is not available, you can write one. You can also go to the communities and suggest, and based on demand, CA will write one for you."
"This solution allows us to have an overview of the infrastructure and identify areas where the performance isn't optimal, or where upgrades could be carried out."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"It is easy to implement but requires good planning."
"Technical support is great."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"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."
"It gives us a map of the network setup and one console to see the entire network."
"The product is scalable."
"The alerting and usage tracking notifications on disk space capacity, network and processor utilization."
"I found a lot of valuable features in SolarWinds NPM, such as the customized application monitoring that allows you to customize any monitoring and script customization, and you also have the option to deploy and upgrade SolarWinds NPM online, which is very useful for my organization."
"It is scalable."
"Their support team is efficient, and it is easy to set up."
"It is considerably cheaper compared to other tools."
"We don't have any issues with the stability of SolarWinds NPM."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"I would like to see auditability. We've built our own audit functionality to ensure that every CI has the desired model configuration applied to it. And we run that on a daily basis. If that became part of the product, I think it might be a little bit less intensive in terms of resource, because we're doing it with scripts."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"Application Performance Monitoring should be included in this solution."
"It would be nice if SolarWinds could have a polling engine on the site that would collect the reporting and then manage everything itself."
"We'd like to see a bit more automation in the future."
"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."
"Complex and overly detailed setup."
"Currently lacks integration with SMS services."
"The dashboard of the solution is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"The only real caveat that we have or that I have an issue with is when I go on vacation, it's a little hard for me to go and modify alerts so that I don't get alerted about things when I'm on vacation."
