"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The solution does not include enough features and has some performance issues."

"SolarWinds NPM could improve the graphics of the interface and more customized reporting."

"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"
"GUI needs improvement with a more graphical dashboard."
