"It is a stable solution.""The most valuable features the solution offers are compliance, reliability, and information about reliability.""The installation is straightforward.""What's nice with NCM is you can set up policies that you can then check against the configs to ensure that your device configs adhere to a baseline or standard that you've set in place.""The solution's view is very nice, and they have a great customized dashboard.""It's perfect for network configuration management. It's easy to use.""This solution has helped our organization by allowing us to store all the device configurations for the various network devices in NCM and making it easy for us to retrieve and look them over.""The scanning features have proven to be highly valuable, particularly due to the comprehensive information they provide."

Cons
"It is also limited in the number of IP targets you can test. If you want to test how many hops or different sites, you should be able to hit a test button and say, "Right then, test these 20 IP addresses to see if I can reach them." It only does up to 10. Most of NetAlly's other devices, like the G2, can do unlimited addresses."

"When we run the SolarWinds NCM jobs at the cellular line, it runs in the morning. They're just not finishing. We're getting false processing.""I would like to see more integration tools. Something like dialysis, for example.""The network logs could be improved. When the error logs come across with those false positive alarms in the error logs.""Improvements are needed in the automatic network mapping function.""Our experience has shown that most of the problems we've had with SolarWinds NCM are related to software issues.""It would be great if they include a network service manager, network performance manager, or a privileged assessment in the next release.""We want to be able to store it in a data warehouse format and integrate it with Google single sign-on.""For each device, when you open the network performance monitor, it will give you all of the information about the device, but many of the natural configuration management features are not on that page."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "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."
  • "You have a base license for 50 devices, and then you can add more licenses as you go."
  • "There is a license for the use of this solution and it is priced well, there is a lot of value for the money."
  • "I have a yearly subscription."
  • "In Africa, the cost is a major factor in decision-making for many companies. As a result, some companies may choose cheaper solutions, even if they are open-source, over more expensive ones, such as SolarWinds Network Configuration Manager. However, as an engineer, I believe that the functionalities and services offered by SolarWinds justify the cost. Nonetheless, many companies in Africa may still view the prices as unaffordable."
  • "There is a license needed to use SolarWinds Network Configuration Manager."
  • "The price of the solution is high compared to other solutions."
  • "We have to pay additionally for its support and maintenance."
