"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"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."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"This has helped us to monitor the availability of our routers, switches, servers, and virtual environments."
"Their support team is efficient, and it is easy to set up."
"You can monitor performance counters effortlessly."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the monitoring capabilities."
"There are a lot of options for customization of the dashboard, alerts, and reports."
"The solution ranks as one of the top five monitoring tools."
"The SolarWinds NPM framework, upon which most of their flagship products are built, empowers a wide variety of admins and users to quickly find value in their installed products."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"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."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"The price of the solution can be improved."
"We also had to be attentive to vulnerabilities, because SolarWinds NPM have some issues in that area. We had to work with our security team, so that they could help us check and backup the data, and check what they needed to secure."
"There needs to be more integration of widgets, especially for reporting purposes."
"If they did some type of synthetic monitoring, it would have been better."
"The solution could improve in many areas, such as the marketing and description of the products, providing areas of improvement, cloud capabilities, and being able to be more streamlined with the current integration points with other applications."
"My team has had a lot of issues with support."
"The solution's customer service is not very good because the support takes too long."
"It would be good to have high security."
