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."I like that it not only has the ability to monitor but that it can do a lot of specific Citrix monitoring."
"Offers a diversity of features."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its graphical interface and reports."
"This solution offers a very good view of our network and allows us to effectively monitor performance."
"The most valuable feature of SolarWinds NPM is the performance monitoring to see the memory, and CPU utilization."
"From web interfaces to custom monitors and alarms, this product has a high level of flexibility that can be molded to suit your business needs, regardless of the size of your organization."
"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."
"I believe the ease of setup and use, including everything, from the initial installation to the discovery of devices is the most valuable."
"It is considerably cheaper compared to other tools."
"Can easily be interconnected with other management systems."
"I would love to be able to tell what ISP the user is coming from."
"Issues with generating reports; consistency is not there."
"It would be good to have high security."
"One of the challenges with SolarWinds is that in order to pull the data, we have to have a lot of false positives."
"Consolidation of platforms would provide a smoother experience."
"An area for improvement in SolarWinds NPM is the short retention period. Currently, it's just for seven days of data, which is very low, making it hard for my organization to keep that data. SolarWinds recommended a seven-day retention period, but my organization needs a fourteen-day data retention period. Hence, I'd like an increase in the retention period or the database limit in SolarWinds NPM because you can't go back to the data for any investigation if seven days have passed. Another area for improvement in SolarWinds NPM is the database, which needs to be a bit more mature. I want a modified database in the next release of SolarWinds NPM. I'd also like more options added to groups because, currently, it's very limited."
"It would be nice if SolarWinds could have a polling engine on the site that would collect the reporting and then manage everything itself."
"We'd like to see a bit more automation in the future."
"Sometimes there are issues when upgrading to a new version of the product."
"If they could combine everything into one product, that would be very helpful."
