"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports."
"What I like about DX Unified Infrastructure Management is that it's a very good product. The feature I found most valuable in the solution is the MCS feature, which is the automatic deployment of the objects you want to monitor. You can set up a system, for example, if it's a Windows machine and I want to test specific devices on it, I could do that through DX Unified Infrastructure Management. That type of deployment is very good because it means you won't miss any monitoring aspect on any server."
"It is easy to implement but requires good planning."
"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 benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"The real value is our being able to pull all the historic data that we need in order to gather every little metric and nuanced piece of information from a given device, a given piece of infrastructure, in order for us to generate alerts."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the alerts."
"SolarWinds is reasonably priced."
"The stability is fantastic."
"The product is scalable."
"The product covers our needs for the basic care and feeding of servers, whether they are physical or virtual."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the monitoring capabilities."
"I like that SolarWinds NPM is a strong tool for monitoring network devices, switches, and routers. It's also a user-friendly tool. My team also likes how scalable it is."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"Stability."
"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."
"Real-time analytics is the major weakness of the SolarWinds NPM platform today. They've done a fantastic job enabling the collection of data. Users are now demanding the ability to generate their own graphs, views, and so on; all of this must be done by an admin today."
"I would like to have a Syslog server module for this product. That would make the solution better."
"Technical support and releases are not particularly reliable."
"Complex and overly detailed setup."
"Each model has different features, so clients need to purchase a separate model for SQL monitoring, database monitoring, network traffic analyzer, HTTP traffic, etc. So each feature they need is in a different model, but customers would prefer an all-in-one solution."
"I would like to see integration with antivirus or other security endpoint solutions."
"SolarWinds needs to be improved such that it is on par with the leading products in the market."
"Currently lacks integration with SMS services."
