"Reporting on NetCrunch is pretty good. It's very similar to SolarWinds. It's just a different interface. The majority of everything there was beneficial."
"A product that is well-tested and trusted in demanding situations."
"Provides a good level of tools and covers essential components."
"The ability to quickly identify downtime is the most valuable."
"It is considerably cheaper compared to other tools."
"We don't have any issues with the stability of SolarWinds NPM."
"Reporting tools are a great feature along with the ability to create customized reports for you"
"It's easy to understand, even if you are not too technical."
"The ability to customize the views and dashboards is nice. SolarWinds also allows us to access the data via the API. That's probably the feature I liked the most."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."
"This solution would benefit from expanding on the capabilities within the API."
"It is not that stable. As a Windows software, I have seen issues with SolarWinds. The performance is slow."
"I would like to have a Syslog server module for this product. That would make the solution better."
"We'd like to see a bit more automation in the future."
"If they did some type of synthetic monitoring, it would have been better."
"The product is scalable, but at a cost. Extra modules have to be purchased for each extra server. The initial set up isn't complex, but will require someone who is experienced with the network monitoring system"
"Application Performance Monitoring should be included in this solution."
"Each model has different features, so clients need to purchase a separate model for SQL monitoring, database monitoring, network traffic analyzer, HTTP traffic, etc. So each feature they need is in a different model, but customers would prefer an all-in-one solution."
