"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"A highly scalable solution."
"I like that it provides an overall view of our network. From the topology view to every event, we can view it. We can also see the interface utilization for future capacity planning. It fits our use case and environment."
"It is straightforward to configure, and you can quickly gather data from your infrastructure."
"It's good for root cause analysis for network problems and network link problems."
"The AI is the best feature in this solution."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature is the graphical user interface."
"What I've found most valuable about the solution is that it's scalable."
"One of the best features is the reports feature."
"The product covers our needs for the basic care and feeding of servers, whether they are physical or virtual."
"The initial setup was straightforward. We deployed the solution from new and completed the upgrades."
"SolarWinds NPM provides an overview of network monitoring, extending its capabilities to cover other aspects, such as virtual machines and servers. The platform has features like NetPath, which is particularly beneficial for end-users, offering insights into issues like latency, packet loss, and connectivity problems with routers, switches, or servers."
"SolarWinds NPM has a colorful UI and many easy-to-use features. It does not need to be configured as much and is also easy to install."
"It is very extensible with 'SWQL' and APIs to where we are beginning to integrate it with network automation."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"One improvement that could make the product better is to streamline its modules into a more cohesive solution."
"Technical support needs to be better. They need to be more knowledgeable and responsive."
"It would be better if they had an NFA network analysis feature. We appreciate features like extended network security for bucket flows, but it would be better to have some IDs, IPS functionalities, DDoS, or something like that."
"The hardware requirements can be improved."
"Lacks dashboards and better integration with other solutions."
"Technical support could be more responsive."
"There needs to be more integration of widgets, especially for reporting purposes."
"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 could be more secure."
"There should be a little bit more integration in some of the other tooling and utilizing the APIs of devices or tools could be a little bit better."
"We also had to be attentive to vulnerabilities, because SolarWinds NPM have some issues in that area. We had to work with our security team, so that they could help us check and backup the data, and check what they needed to secure."
"A feature I would ask for is for them to have this solution available for Linux systems instead of Windows."
"The integration with video apps could be better."
"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."
