"Technical support could be more responsive."
"The console could be more user-friendly. It would be better if SolarWinds updated the user interface."
"The product is scalable, but at a cost. Extra modules have to be purchased for each extra server. The initial set up isn't complex, but will require someone who is experienced with the network monitoring system"
"One of the challenges with SolarWinds is that in order to pull the data, we have to have a lot of false positives."
"The root cause analysis and installation faults are not clear."

"The tool can only monitor up to 1000 instances in a single SolarWinds console. Customers may have over 1000 instances. Hence, it needs to support a minimum of 1500 instances. It should also improve support."
