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."
"It combines and presents information from many different sources, giving a corporate-wide vision on a single pane of glass."
"The most valuable feature is the graphical user interface."
"We found that it was easy to operate, and it was simple if anyone has entry-level working experience or even if someone is not experienced."
"It gives us a map of the network setup and one console to see the entire network."
"Network performance is the main issue clients are facing. SolarWinds checks if a node is down, and we can set thresholds for performance metrics. For example, we set it up to get an alert automatically if a value is over 80 percent. It has a full dashboard that covers CP, hard disk, and node monitoring."
"It's easy to understand, even if you are not too technical."
"The product covers our needs for the basic care and feeding of servers, whether they are physical or virtual."
"The product is lightweight in terms of memory use, requiring only 10 megabytes or less."
"The most important for us is how fast this solution is, as well as the granularity that you can get to, such as per-minute statistics."
"We're able to recover more expensive ports on our access line devices."
"Statseeker helps to quickly see if you have a spike or something going on. In the future, we need to get NetFlow in the tool so we can see what the IP is."
"Whether it is a down network switch or a down router, we can get back online faster for the customers."
"Being able to look back historically at the uptime and downtime is invaluable."
"This solution allowed us to track down trouble users."
"It is fairly simple and easy to use as an all-purpose network monitor."
"Device grouping is very easy, and you can discover thousands of devices in a few minutes."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"This product could improve by adding cloud monitoring. I want SolarWinds NPM to do much more integration, and have more involvement in cloud monitoring, like AWS or Google, or Azure. I feel like it requires lots of improvement for cloud monitoring in NPM."
"Scalability is a bit tricky because it requires more gateways in order to get the performance you may need. It also requires a lot of licensing."
"Robustness of network element mapping tool could be better"
"The reporting is good, but I want it to be a little easier when creating custom reports. The reports are all on the website now, but it takes some know how to get some to display the way you would like."
"The scalability can be better."
"It is not that stable. As a Windows software, I have seen issues with SolarWinds. The performance is slow."
"There isn't support available to us as they don't offer support in our country."
"We decided that we were no longer going to trust that their products have not been capitalized."
"With Statseeker I'd like to see some flow, i.e. what's tuning-up the network. The trend I like is managing the traffic load by going to the cloud."
"Technical support for this solution is bad, as is everything with Cisco support."
"I would like the ability to update the dashboard. I would also like the ability to access via an API. Then I could produce a dashboard that my C level can understand. This is just so they can go and refresh whenever they want to and see what things look like."
"The user interface needs a great deal of improvement."
"Maybe they could provide a little bit more flexibility on creating custom dashboards."
"I would like to see some layer two and layer three topology mappings, similar to what NNMi and SolarWinds presents."
"I would like to have soft alarming. If an inner-base all of a sudden triggers a threshold, we have to rely on a lot of other tools and then we go into Statseeker to verify it. If Statseeker would confirm it preemptively and trigger it into our network panel, that would be nice."
"It doesn't do absolutely everything and it will require some additional software or hardware support to be a complete single solution."
