"What I like about DX Unified Infrastructure Management is that it's a very good product. The feature I found most valuable in the solution is the MCS feature, which is the automatic deployment of the objects you want to monitor. You can set up a system, for example, if it's a Windows machine and I want to test specific devices on it, I could do that through DX Unified Infrastructure Management. That type of deployment is very good because it means you won't miss any monitoring aspect on any server."
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."

"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"Being able to easily, and quickly obtain disc space statistics from servers and determine how much was free or used on various volumes."
"SolarWinds NPM has a colorful UI and many easy-to-use features. It does not need to be configured as much and is also easy to install."
"Network performance is the main issue clients are facing. SolarWinds checks if a node is down, and we can set thresholds for performance metrics. For example, we set it up to get an alert automatically if a value is over 80 percent. It has a full dashboard that covers CP, hard disk, and node monitoring."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable feature of SolarWinds NPM is the performance monitoring to see the memory, and CPU utilization."
