Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"Some of the most valuable features are the accessibility of the solution and the fact that it is simpler than other products. For example, discovering devices in the network is very simple, making it user-friendly."
"Device backups are smooth and managed centrally, with a nice dashboard, so you can quickly see the status."
"It is easy to use and deploy."
"The most valuable feature is the network-related reporting."
"We use the solution to monitor links. It also helps us to track servers and monitor logs."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring alerts. The administrators are immediately notified and can do the required action immediately. This is the feature we value and use the most."
"We have found the solution to be stable."
"The dashboard, versatility and larger horizon are valuable."
"The solution has good alerts. Notifications are sent via email to technicians. You can filter the kinds of alerts you want to receive as well. It's excellent."
"Extremely user friendly: Any IT professional can learn how to admin NPM in a short time."
"The initial setup was relatively easy, and we didn't have to install anything. All we had to do was put on the devices we wanted to monitor."
"SolarWinds SAM has provided us with dynamic thresholds based on historical trends and requirements. The threshold gets configured automatically, so it's no longer necessary to configure it manually every time."
"It's good at monitoring system-specific things like ports, services."
"The features like trends, capacity planning, recommendations, and diagnostics are the main items I focus on for added value."
"I find it to be a strong product suite, particularly when you need a comprehensive monitoring tool."
"The most valuable feature is the Access Rights Manager."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"With regard to configurations, however, it would be nice to have more documentation on SNMP configurations. For example, if I want to add a new vendor, it would be great if ManageEngine provided the requirements for that vendor, such as the commands needed."
"The initial setup is a bit complicated. It needs a technician who is very aware of the flow and how to officially set up the flow chart, etc."
"This product is little bit slow sometimes. It may be that we need to change the configuration to improve performance."
"ManageEngine OpManager can improve by having better updates for critical issues."
"It would be great if there were some sort of artificial intelligence feature which would help us make improvements in the network once we find an issue, and do it automatically."
"We would like link monitoring included. At times we need to monitor those specific links closely."
"We get a lot of false alerts."
"We encounter challenges in monitoring cloud services. I would also appreciate it if there was someone available to walk you through the documentation."
"This product has no real downside unless they fail to continue development of its capabilities."
"It should also be easier to upgrade SolarWinds. AppDynamics is harder to deploy but easier to upgrade. So AppDynamics takes a lot of time and effort to install, but you can upgrade it in minutes. SolarWinds is the opposite. It's easy to deploy, but upgrades take forever. To date, nobody can complete it on time, so the production environment is sitting idle."
"SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor could improve the server monitoring and the web application monitoring features are not good. Microsoft SCOM has better server monitoring."
"SAM's software-defined network monitoring capability is also low and could be improved."
"I believe that some of the trends, environmental maps, and items like those found in Orion would be very beneficial."
"The stability, flexibility, and ease of use could be improved."
"Downside of the tools is the web console are hung or crash. It need to improve the performance."
"The product needs to reduce its price."
