"SolarWinds NPM is a scalable solution since it can handle a huge number of users."
"The nice thing about SolarWinds is that it's kind of all-in-one. I can manage the status of my networking devices, whether they are up or down, I can see how much traffic is going across an interface, and I can run a report that tells me exactly what that traffic is."
"We have configured multiple alerts for our network devices, including routers and switches, so that we are notified if any interface goes down."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"Within this product there are individual probes, and each of these probes doesn't always necessarily output the same kind of information into our database. So when we try to collect what's called QoS data, from one probe we might get a ton of information, lots of good stuff that we can use in our database, but then from another probe, we might not get so much or we might not be able to pull the things that we want to."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."

"There isn't support available to us as they don't offer support in our country."
"This product could improve by adding cloud monitoring. I want SolarWinds NPM to do much more integration, and have more involvement in cloud monitoring, like AWS or Google, or Azure. I feel like it requires lots of improvement for cloud monitoring in NPM."
"It would be nice if SolarWinds added some technical protocols like Modbus. The market needs a simple solution for monitoring a technical device."
"There needs to be more integration of widgets, especially for reporting purposes."
"GUI needs improvement with a more graphical dashboard."
"My team has had a lot of issues with support."
"It would be nice if SolarWinds could have a polling engine on the site that would collect the reporting and then manage everything itself."
