"The real-time troubleshooting and application segregation that you can do within it."
"It's an easy product to set up."
"It allows us to get quicker resolutions. We can see exactly what is using up the bandwidth, so we can assist end users."
"The product is stable. I have never had any issue where we have lost an InfiniStream, or visibility from that particular InfiniStream, throughout the bank."
"The solution is easy to install and it takes a couple of hours."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"One of the best features is the reports feature."
"The interface is user-friendly, making it easy to use."

"The solution is extremely stable. We haven't had any issues in that regard. We haven't had issues with bugs, glitches, or crashes."
"The most valuable feature is the way it monitors the environment, and how user-friendly the console is for the end-user. The interface is also very easy and it captures all the information very well."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technology goes end-of-life on us every year, which is why I am looking forward to vSTREAM. I don't like when devices go end-of-life on us so quickly. If we can get more of an advanced notice of when an end-of-life is brought up, because our certification process within the organization takes a while."
"Being able to manage the packet flow switches in nGeniusONE would be great."
"The NetFlow Collectors could handle more flows per minute."
"The scalability has some limitations and quirks to it. I would like to be able to upgrade rather than replace the whole thing."
"The single pane of glass feed still needs work."
"It's not able to communicate with our probes."
"We don't use the single pane of glass view, even though we own it."
"Only problems that we have had are fiber issues going into the TAPs or vSTREAMs, which are usually local site issues."
"It would be good to have high security."
"The tool can only monitor up to 1000 instances in a single SolarWinds console. Customers may have over 1000 instances. Hence, it needs to support a minimum of 1500 instances. It should also improve support."
"The interface could be made more user-friendly."
"We'd like to see a bit more automation in the future."
"It would be nice if SolarWinds could have a polling engine on the site that would collect the reporting and then manage everything itself."
"There should be a little bit more integration in some of the other tooling and utilizing the APIs of devices or tools could be a little bit better."
"The only real caveat that we have or that I have an issue with is when I go on vacation, it's a little hard for me to go and modify alerts so that I don't get alerted about things when I'm on vacation."
"The price of the solution can be improved."
