"The analytics feature is the most valuable feature."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The protocols with which you see the traffic for a particular website that a client has in their environment, for example, are valuable. We can monitor whether the traffic is up to the mark or whether they need to add more bandwidth. Also, we can see if we're able to get real-time environment data as well. The customization dashboard is really good. LogRhythm NetMon has its own in-built dashboards which are helpful in guiding customization."
"Visibility is a valuable feature, the ability to see even if the traffic is not going into the firewall"
"The people in technical support are very good."
"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."
"I can do everything remotely, including running PowerShell scripts or performing standard updates."
"I like SolarWinds support because it's 24/7. You describe your issues, your situation and maybe two or three hours later you can discuss a solution with a technical engineer."
"The product covers our needs for the basic care and feeding of servers, whether they are physical or virtual."
"It's easy to understand, even if you are not too technical."
"Monitoring capabilities are at a high level and it is easy to see utilization, access ports, and CPU memory in real time or through a lens for long-term visualization."

"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"There is an issue with tunneling in relation to how the connectivity is established between the end devices and where NetMon is installed. On the console, I often observe that there's a difference of a few seconds or maybe a minute, and this lag time should not be there."
"I would like to see better integration with multiple products. Integration is not something that is readily available for most of the products."
"LogRhythm NetMon's pricing model is an area of concern that should be made a little bit cheaper in comparison to the other players in the market currently."
"Some of the automated tasks we can perform on QRadar cannot be performed on LogRhythm because the solution has limitations."

"Complex and overly detailed setup."
"Currently lacks integration with SMS services."
"Application Performance Monitoring should be included in this solution."
