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."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"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."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"It is easy to implement."
"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"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."
"A product that is well-tested and trusted in demanding situations."
"The most valuable features in SolarWinds NPM are the network search and diagnostic tools."
"We had some interfaces where the SFP Ports were having some problems after a while. We found which of the SFP Ports was having the error and changed it, so the bandwidth become okay."
"All the features are very good. The monitoring of the equipment, the configuration manager, and the IP address monitoring are great."
"It's a very good tool and a very stable tool."
"SolarWinds is reasonably priced."
"It's easy to understand, even if you are not too technical."
"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 Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Stability."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"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."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"Having more technical and support resources available in Saudi Arabia would be helpful."
"The integration with video apps could be better."
"Robustness of network element mapping tool could be better"
"I would like to see some enhancement on the reporting side, such as making it a little bit easier to create reports or having a larger assortment of canned reports."
"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."
"We are looking to change away from this solution because of the documentation and the solution doesn't have enough integration in our country. The documentation is too weak."
"The solution does not offer much customization so is somewhat inflexible."
