"The ability to quickly do drag and drop customized reports for dashboards."
"We have been able to get a little bit better at seeing more things in real time and more just in time, so we're less reactionary."
"The tool helps us understand network performance."
"When devices are having performance issues, it proactively build dashboards which allow us to go and do health checks, and resolve problems before they become an issue."
"We're able to present data from multiple back-end collection sources into a single dashboard for the users. So they don't have to go to multiple locations to get data about a particular item, or device."
"Since the implementation of the tool, it has cut down on probably 60% of our outages and letting us know what is going on."
"It saves time having it all on one place, so you do not have to jump around from different tools and try to merge the data. It is already done for you."
"Downloads and records are the most valuable features."
"It's easy to understand, even if you are not too technical."
"The most valuable features in SolarWinds NPM are the network search and diagnostic tools."
"The most valuable features of SolarWinds NPM are network performance monitoring and the overall benefit for servers."
"It gives us a map of the network setup and one console to see the entire network."
"The product covers our needs for the basic care and feeding of servers, whether they are physical or virtual."
"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."
"I like that SolarWinds NPM is a strong tool for monitoring network devices, switches, and routers. It's also a user-friendly tool. My team also likes how scalable it is."
"The product is scalable."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It would be helpful if CA provided online training for its customers."
"Global synchronization errors. Sometimes it just doesn't finish in time due to the load."
"CA PM can be complex to build and configure. Creating the folders / groups / sites required establishing many rule sets."
"Product has issue collecting IP SLA data."
"Since we are out of registered IP space, we are moving to ipv6 and we expect our vendors to move with us, and they have not delivered yet."
"It seems like we escalate more than I would like to. If anything, they should look at how the tier support goes in place."
"This solution's implementation process could be quicker. They could also optimize the hardware requirements."
"It needs role-based administration."
"The dashboard of the solution is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"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."
"This product could improve by adding cloud monitoring. I want SolarWinds NPM to do much more integration, and have more involvement in cloud monitoring, like AWS or Google, or Azure. I feel like it requires lots of improvement for cloud monitoring in NPM."
"SolarWinds NPM needs to increase its elements. One polling engine can only support 10,000 elements then it becomes slow. There are limitations even if you have the full SLX version license."
"It is not that stable. As a Windows software, I have seen issues with SolarWinds. The performance is slow."
"Having more technical and support resources available in Saudi Arabia would be helpful."
"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."
"Complex and overly detailed setup."
