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."
"Gives us the ability to see our network."
"It is a very valuable tool. It goes out and does a discovery, which is a great process of it. You could have something like a rogue DHCP server, and it will identify it, and then you can see to which switch port it is connected. It is quite an impressive tool. I really liked it because you didn't have to install an agent on anything. It would just go out and do its discovery. For me, that's great."
"The other valuable system is the DSS (decision support system). If there's a fault in the network, SolarWinds is basically capable of rectifying and resolving that problem on its own without any intervention from an IP assistant or administrator."
"The most valuable features are language support and technical support."
"The most valuable features in SolarWinds NPM are the network search and diagnostic tools."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The product is lightweight in terms of memory use, requiring only 10 megabytes or less."
"Provides a good level of tools and covers essential components."
"The product covers our needs for the basic care and feeding of servers, whether they are physical or virtual."
"We have configured multiple alerts for our network devices, including routers and switches, so that we are notified if any interface goes down."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I would like a built-in tap feature which doesn't interfere with the network, and it allows you to see what is happening there."
"Its price can be improved. Their support can also be improved a little bit. In terms of features, it did everything I wanted it to do. With more features, I would have to start installing network agents or something else, and I don't want to have to install anything. This was the value for me about this device."
"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."
"Having more technical and support resources available in Saudi Arabia would be helpful."
"The solution is not always good with new features, so it's take a long time."
"It is difficult for stakeholders to translate technical requirements, which results in difficulties selecting a platform or implementing a solution."
"I would like to see some enhancement on the reporting side, such as making it a little bit easier to create reports or having a larger assortment of canned reports."
"Sometimes there are issues when upgrading to a new version of the product."
"Currently lacks integration with SMS services."
"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."
