"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the availability of end devices."
"We don't have any issues with the stability of SolarWinds NPM."
"The nice thing about SolarWinds is that it's kind of all-in-one. I can manage the status of my networking devices, whether they are up or down, I can see how much traffic is going across an interface, and I can run a report that tells me exactly what that traffic is."
"We have configured multiple alerts for our network devices, including routers and switches, so that we are notified if any interface goes down."
"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."
"The ability to customize the views and dashboards is nice. SolarWinds also allows us to access the data via the API. That's probably the feature I liked the most."
"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 solution is easy to install and it takes a couple of hours."
"This solution offers a very good view of our network and allows us to effectively monitor performance."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The solution does not include enough features and has some performance issues."
"Consolidation of platforms would provide a smoother experience."
"Having more technical and support resources available in Saudi Arabia would be helpful."
"Real-time analytics is the major weakness of the SolarWinds NPM platform today. They've done a fantastic job enabling the collection of data. Users are now demanding the ability to generate their own graphs, views, and so on; all of this must be done by an admin today."
"If they could combine everything into one product, that would be very helpful."
"This solution would benefit from expanding on the capabilities within the API."
"The console could be more user-friendly. It would be better if SolarWinds updated the user interface."
"Sometimes there are issues when upgrading to a new version of the product."
