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."
"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."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"It reduced cycles for a lot of quick out-of-the-box functionality. It also allowed us to get away from being stuck in SNMP, VTP V2, based off of agent deployment."
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"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 is the graphical user interface."
"It's easy to understand, even if you are not too technical."
"What I've found most valuable about the solution is that it's scalable."
"There are a lot of valuable features with SolarWinds NPM. We can receive a lot of detailed data from the monitoring that can use useful for investigations, especially when you are troubleshooting. It is very helpful. Overall it was a very good experience."
"The product is scalable."
"It combines and presents information from many different sources, giving a corporate-wide vision on a single pane of glass."
"The ability to quickly identify downtime is the most valuable."
"The most valuable features are language support and technical support."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"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."
"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 is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"Having more technical and support resources available in Saudi Arabia would be helpful."
"The evaluation time for the product is too short especially for large corporations."
"One of the challenges with SolarWinds is that in order to pull the data, we have to have a lot of false positives."
"SolarWinds NPM could improve the graphics of the interface and more customized reporting."
"Technical support can be slow to respond."
"Fortigate firewalls are one example of a product that we are unable to monitor properly via SolarWinds NPM."
"Being able to detect devices that are trying to connect wirelessly would make using this solution much easier."
"We'd like to see a bit more automation in the future."
