Find out in this report how the two Network Management Applications solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We do not have any issues stability-wise."
"Topology creation is the most valuable feature."
"Our monitoring and network teams of less than 100 people use this solution. The availability and fault monitoring are good."
"Real time network monitoring application: It is very stable, which provides quick root cause analysis (RCA) for any network faults."
"If you install one node on Network Node Manager and want to scale it up, it's pretty easy to create more nodes."
"You can utilize the main file from various vendors for integration."
"It gives us a good overview of what's happening in our networks and the devices in the networks."
"It is a scalable product."
"We push all our configurations to the servers with ease and the logs capture almost all the transactions needed for an internal audit."
"The feature that I really enjoy is the ability to script changes across all of your devices."
"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."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features the solution offers are compliance, reliability, and information about reliability."
"It's perfect for network configuration management. It's easy to use."
"Its main functionality is highly beneficial as it centralizes the management of configuration items across the network."
"Reporting. Even though this is available in separate software (iSPI) there is potential in making the reporting more SLA-aware and more intuitive."
"Only to improve the GUI."
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not the best when it comes to drilling down for more visibility, especially regarding traffic."
"The solution should integrate with NAC servers."
"Right now, we have open tickets and they are not closing as expected."
"The resources utilized could be a bit higher, and that is one of the challenges that isn't optimized"
"The way the solution currently works means I'm not able to customize my own reports."
"The deployment architecture and installation part needs improvement."
"Its customer service response could be faster."
"The solution could have better integration."
"The network logs could be improved. When the error logs come across with those false positive alarms in the error logs."
"Our experience has shown that most of the problems we've had with SolarWinds NCM are related to software issues."
"Releasing a product compatible with operating systems other than Windows would be advantageous."
"The interface of solar winds could be improved."
"When it comes to the way of managing the network devices, SolarWinds Network Configuration Manager should provide the simplest way that devices can relate to the server. For example, when we want to get the devices on board, we go by SSH to make the SolarWinds Network Configuration Manager create the connectivity with the device. After that, we pull the configuration. It would be helpful if they could combine both so that everything will be done in one step."
"On NCM, reporting could be a bit better. It's completely become just one report. When I try to create a custom report, the solution just commits old server data."
