Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Offers a diversity of features."
"I like that it not only has the ability to monitor but that it can do a lot of specific Citrix monitoring."
"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."
"This solution offers a very good view of our network and allows us to effectively monitor performance."
"With just three modules, I can monitor server performance (whether it’s a VM, in the cloud, or an on-premises server."
"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."
"It's easy to understand, even if you are not too technical."
"Provides a good level of tools and covers essential components."
"The most valuable features in SolarWinds NPM are the network search and diagnostic tools."
"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."
"I would love to be able to tell what ISP the user is coming from."
"Issues with generating reports; consistency is not there."
"One of the challenges with SolarWinds is that in order to pull the data, we have to have a lot of false positives."
"There needs to be more integration of widgets, especially for reporting purposes."
"Better offline license management. I’ve had to get in touch with customer support several times simply to remove an expired license from our NPM servers."
"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."
"Fortigate firewalls are one example of a product that we are unable to monitor properly via SolarWinds NPM."
"There isn't support available to us as they don't offer support in our country."
"SolarWinds NPM can be very slow at times. The database optimization can be done to improve the product performance."
"The reporting is good, but I want it to be a little easier when creating custom reports. The reports are all on the website now, but it takes some know how to get some to display the way you would like."
