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."
"The detections are fine when they work."
"The solution is easy to deploy. It's also easy to manage and monitor the environment. Instead of being reactive, it's proactive."
"The traffic monitoring and the traffic analysis are great."
"Flexibility in the two view dashboard helps viewers and admins get the information they need about the fetwork in a flash."
"The solution is finely stable."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to reach most of our network devices and get the most from them."
"The alerting feature has improved our organization. We can create multiple alerts and refine them to how we need to use them."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring alerts. The administrators are immediately notified and can do the required action immediately. This is the feature we value and use the most."
"We have configured multiple alerts for our network devices, including routers and switches, so that we are notified if any interface goes down."
"It gives us a map of the network setup and one console to see the entire network."
"I found a lot of valuable features in SolarWinds NPM, such as the customized application monitoring that allows you to customize any monitoring and script customization, and you also have the option to deploy and upgrade SolarWinds NPM online, which is very useful for my organization."
"The connectivity of the solution is very good."
"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."
"A product that is well-tested and trusted in demanding situations."
"Can easily be interconnected with other management systems."
"It is considerably cheaper compared to other tools."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Real user and UI monitoring are not practical."
"The licensing model is confusing."
"The solution is a bit difficult to configure. There are quite a number of configurations and plugins that you must handle early in the process."
"The initial setup is a bit complicated. It needs a technician who is very aware of the flow and how to officially set up the flow chart, etc."
"OpManager is slow but that just might be the server we have it on. I don't think that's the problem but I don't do the server. But it is slow. When you're interacting with it, it could be more nimble and could be faster."
"ManageEngine OpManager could improve the default dashboards that are available. We are not able to customize them easily and they do not give us the information we need unless we customize them. You need to have the technical knowledge to be able to do it, the customization should be easier."
"You cannot resolve 100 percent of the issues yourself. You would need to reach out to the support. It needs to be cheaper."
"There are certain things that are not possible to do with Op Manager. It's a solution that still needs time to develop."
"One of the challenges with SolarWinds is that in order to pull the data, we have to have a lot of false positives."
"It is difficult for stakeholders to translate technical requirements, which results in difficulties selecting a platform or implementing a solution."
"The SolarWinds notification and alerting configuration could be simplified as it would be easier to find if it was within the NPM web application instead of in a separate client application."
"Currently lacks integration with SMS services."
"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."
"The solution is not always good with new features, so it's take a long time."
"Sometimes there are issues when upgrading to a new version of the product."
"The solution needs to integrate with additional SDN technologies that are part of the hyper market."
