Find out in this report how the two Network 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."
"We found that it was easy to operate, and it was simple if anyone has entry-level working experience or even if someone is not experienced."
"The ability to customize the views and dashboards is nice. SolarWinds also allows us to access the data via the API. That's probably the feature I liked the most."
"Technical support has always been great. They are very responsive. We've been satisfied with their level of support."
"I can do everything remotely, including running PowerShell scripts or performing standard updates."
"The other valuable system is the DSS (decision support system). If there's a fault in the network, SolarWinds is basically capable of rectifying and resolving that problem on its own without any intervention from an IP assistant or administrator."
"The alerting and usage tracking notifications on disk space capacity, network and processor utilization."
"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."
"The most valuable functionality is some of the policy pieces that are quite useful."
"The most valuable feature of Versa Director is analytics."
"Versa Director's best feature is the ease of configuration and customer and vendor management."
"Versa Director is the fastest engineering tool and is ideal for use without product management."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Fortigate firewalls are one example of a product that we are unable to monitor properly via SolarWinds NPM."
"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."
"The integration needs to be improved."
"Application Performance Monitoring should be included in this solution."
"The solution needs to integrate with additional SDN technologies that are part of the hyper market."
"The evaluation time for the product is too short especially for large corporations."
"It is difficult for stakeholders to translate technical requirements, which results in difficulties selecting a platform or implementing a solution."
"SolarWinds NPM can be very slow at times. The database optimization can be done to improve the product performance."
"It requires some simplification."
"Versa Director's deployment process is not the best."
"Versa could be more AI-oriented."
"What needs improvement in Versa Director is maturity because, from an operating point of view, it's not mature enough. You'll still need to do a lot of research on Versa Director, so if it could mature faster, that would be very good."
