"The stability is fantastic."
"I love the GUI. Almost everything is accessible through the web interface. It is very user-friendly. It is easy to drag and drop resources wherever you want them."
"It's a very good tool and a very stable tool."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its graphical interface and reports."
"As we look to add more servers to our virtual environment and to understand the impact, the solution allows us to dig into the historical charts related to capacity planning."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."
"The evaluation time for the product is too short especially for large corporations."
"The product is scalable, but at a cost. Extra modules have to be purchased for each extra server. The initial set up isn't complex, but will require someone who is experienced with the network monitoring system"
"This solution would benefit from expanding on the capabilities within the API."
"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."
"The solution is not always good with new features, so it's take a long time."
"The solution could improve in many areas, such as the marketing and description of the products, providing areas of improvement, cloud capabilities, and being able to be more streamlined with the current integration points with other applications."
"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."
"They have had a rather large security breach in the past. It's cost some companies customers."
