Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"We have visibility on all our network devices, through this tool, which gives me immediate alerts or notifications when some devices fail."
"We have configured multiple alerts for our network devices, including routers and switches, so that we are notified if any interface goes down."
"SolarWinds NPM provides an overview of network monitoring, extending its capabilities to cover other aspects, such as virtual machines and servers. The platform has features like NetPath, which is particularly beneficial for end-users, offering insights into issues like latency, packet loss, and connectivity problems with routers, switches, or servers."
"The product covers our needs for the basic care and feeding of servers, whether they are physical or virtual."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Being able to easily, and quickly obtain disc space statistics from servers and determine how much was free or used on various volumes."
"The set up was very easy. We didn't have any problems with the setup. The deployment took less than an hour."
"The solution is extremely stable. We haven't had any issues in that regard. We haven't had issues with bugs, glitches, or crashes."
"One of the best features is the reports feature."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The only thing I can say needs improvement is in how they present the data to the end users. End users are looking for a dashboard with an attractive view. The current dashboards we have are sufficient for our needs, but not attractive for the business users at the upper management levels."
"The solution needs to integrate with additional SDN technologies that are part of the hyper market."
"Complex and overly detailed setup."
"SolarWinds NPM needs to increase its elements. One polling engine can only support 10,000 elements then it becomes slow. There are limitations even if you have the full SLX version license."
"Time: A worldwide deployment can be confusing for dispersed users with non-local times. Each node should have a local time (with summer offset if appropriate) & each user should view & report in their local time."
"Technical support can be slow to respond."
"I think Solar Winds NPM needs to create a profile with documentation responsibility."
"In terms of scalability, there is room for improvement. When you start monitoring, if you have so many interfaces and you're trying to monitor them at a faster interval, or a shorter interval, you get to a point where you need to request another node."
"I would like to have a Syslog server module for this product. That would make the solution better."
