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."Fewer vulnerabilities have been observed in the four years we have used the solution."
"The tool for forecasting capacity is valuable."
"The best thing about this solution is that you can check for the infrastructure and system updates that you might need to be compliant with the Cloud."
"Has really nice roll-up dashboards."
"Mobile application is the most valuable feature for us. We can monitor all the storages on our phones. It's really good."
"The most valuable features of SolarWinds NPM are network performance monitoring and the overall benefit for servers."
"One of the best features is the reports feature."
"The most valuable feature of SolarWinds NPM is the performance monitoring to see the memory, and CPU utilization."
"The most valuable feature is the graphical user interface."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Technical support has always been great. They are very responsive. We've been satisfied with their level of support."
"In terms of improvement, they should enhance the product range."
"PowerScale is the only file system offered and that is limiting."
"The reporting capabilities of this solution could be improved."
"Doesn't do well in terms of integrating with technologies other than Dell."
"Supporting legacy systems is an area that can be improved."
"The solution is not always good with new features, so it's take a long time."
"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."
"There isn't support available to us as they don't offer support in our country."
"We are looking to change away from this solution because of the documentation and the solution doesn't have enough integration in our country. The documentation is too weak."
"A feature I would ask for is for them to have this solution available for Linux systems instead of Windows."
"The only real caveat that we have or that I have an issue with is when I go on vacation, it's a little hard for me to go and modify alerts so that I don't get alerted about things when I'm on vacation."
"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."
"It is difficult for stakeholders to translate technical requirements, which results in difficulties selecting a platform or implementing a solution."
