Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The solution is stable."
"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."
"The AI is the best feature in this solution."
"It's good for root cause analysis for network problems and network link problems."
"It is straightforward to configure, and you can quickly gather data from your infrastructure."
"The biggest thing for me is that it provided enough information for me to monitor. It alerts and provides you with the information you need."
"The solution is extremely stable. We haven't had any issues in that regard. We haven't had issues with bugs, glitches, or crashes."
"Their support team is efficient, and it is easy to set up."
"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."
"The interface is user-friendly, making it easy to use."
"We found that it was easy to operate, and it was simple if anyone has entry-level working experience or even if someone is not experienced."
"This solution offers a very good view of our network and allows us to effectively monitor performance."
"The most valuable features in SolarWinds NPM are the network search and diagnostic tools."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"Technical support could be more responsive."
"Technical support needs to be better. They need to be more knowledgeable and responsive."
"Lacks dashboards and better integration with other solutions."
"One improvement that could make the product better is to streamline its modules into a more cohesive solution."
"The solution's network discovery and node addition processes need more work."
"Scalability is a bit tricky because it requires more gateways in order to get the performance you may need. It also requires a lot of licensing."
"One of the challenges with SolarWinds is that in order to pull the data, we have to have a lot of false positives."
"The reporting is good, but I want it to be a little easier when creating custom reports. The reports are all on the website now, but it takes some know how to get some to display the way you would like."
"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."
"Being able to detect devices that are trying to connect wirelessly would make using this solution much easier."
"Currently lacks integration with SMS services."
"We'd like to see a bit more automation in the future."
