Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
I need fewer people to do implementation and support, and I don't have to go on-site to change the configuration or otherwise support the switch. | The features we find most valuable is the configuration backup automation, the configuration compliance, the security vulnerability detection and upgrading devices. Compared to other vendors, like NetBrain, managing the solution is easy. They made it very user-friendly. The most valuable features the solution offers are compliance, reliability, and information about reliability. We push all our configurations to the servers with ease and the logs capture almost all the transactions needed for an internal audit. |
Cons | |
It would be helpful if this solution had support for configuring and managing third-party hardware devices. | The Network Configuration Manager needs to improve the access control list compliance. On NCM, reporting could be a bit better. It's completely become just one report. When I try to create a custom report, the solution just commits old server data. The interface of solar winds could be improved. We want to be able to store it in a data warehouse format and integrate it with Google single sign-on. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
The support is billed on a yearly basis, and there are no additional costs. | With a minimal bundle, we pay about $3000 a year in licensing costs. If you have multiple devices in your network, you must buy the bundle, which is 100% identical for your infrastructure. If you have 15 devices, you need 15 licenses, for example. That's one bundle. You don't pay for anything over and above that. |
