Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Its analytical capability is really good.""One of the valuable features is the ability to create CLI scripts on the fly to fix any issues. We were using it for QoS modeling to ensure that we were properly modeling QoS, and it basically said here is what you need to fix to get this QoS done, whether it is ACL or something else. It would either push or recommend. If you have the right credentials, you could also push. It is very good if you are a Cisco shop. It gives you reporting, latency, and bandwidth utilization for your applications, so you can do good capacity management planning. There are a lot of pieces that LiveNX can give you. It is a total NPM solution for SD-WAN.""All in all, LiveAction LiveNX has become an indispensable tool for maintaining and improving our network's reliability and performance, ultimately supporting our organization's goal of providing timely and dependable delivery services.""The product has a very good graphical interface.""We don't have any complaints about the software.

Cons
"The tool crashes sometimes when we try to pull reports simultaneously.""It is not as robust as other NPM solutions. For instance, there is a problem while labeling specific applications. It works well with well-known applications, but when you have to put in new applications that are not very known and set them up with names, ports, URLs, or some protocols, it is not as intuitive.""Improved documentation and more responsive customer support can help in addressing issues faster.""Sometimes the solution does not register devices properly and that is a bug.""This is a horrible solution and I think everything needs to be improved.""The only downside to this software is the price.""They need to create a more simplified UI."

"AppOptics would benefit from having a much more centralized view.""I would like to see more integration with other tools that are available on the market.""The integration with Unix services should be a bit more straightforward.""The solution should be more user-friendly.""The implementation needs improvement. It needs to get modernized with the newer cloud scenario in both public and private deployment models.""In terms of the technology, I think they need to put some more advanced troubleshooting into SolarWinds, in terms of AI capabilities. That's the next generation, especially in the cases of APIs which have already adopted AI capabilities into their products."
