Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Zabbix, New Relic and others in Cloud Monitoring Software."Supports unattended installs and image-based, script-based, or template-based provisioning."
"Automates Java EE Application Deployment from an SCM system."
"Assesses change impact or completes an audit using multiple dashboard views."
"By allowing end users to request their own services, the request process for systems is much quicker and more accurate."
"Integrates role-based access control with pre-configured policies for CIS, DISA, HIPAA, PCI, SOX, NIST, and SCAP documentation and remediation."
"CLM has a multi-cloud portal because they have the resources to implement in various environments in various ports."
"You can tie together your public and private cloud infrastructure into a "single pane of glass"."
"The most valuable features in SolarWinds NPM are the network search and diagnostic tools."
"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."
"Provides a good level of tools and covers essential components."
"Being able to easily, and quickly obtain disc space statistics from servers and determine how much was free or used on various volumes."
"The most valuable features are language support and technical support."
"It did a good job of the collection and then an investigation of the net flow of information for understanding the applications that were being used at certain locations."
"This has helped us to monitor the availability of our routers, switches, servers, and virtual environments."
"The other valuable system is the DSS (decision support system). If there's a fault in the network, SolarWinds is basically capable of rectifying and resolving that problem on its own without any intervention from an IP assistant or administrator."
"One of the major problems is that support is not so good."
"Needs integrations with other providers to provide a custom public cloud environment."
"The installation and configuration can be tricky due to it being built on Remedy."
"The SolarWinds notification and alerting configuration could be simplified as it would be easier to find if it was within the NPM web application instead of in a separate client application."
"It would be nice to have a test to check if you can access a particular device via API without installing it and waiting for a poll cycle. You should have the capacity to initiate a test to see if it was reachable and get the results almost immediately."
"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."
"Currently lacks integration with SMS services."
"Sometimes there are issues when upgrading to a new version of the product."
"The console could be more user-friendly. It would be better if SolarWinds updated the user interface."
"This solution would benefit from expanding on the capabilities within the API."
"Robustness of network element mapping tool could be better"
