The solution and its interface are elaborate and fully integrate all monitored items for easy analysis and troubleshooting. We have added all nodes to the system and look at events or problematic alerts to troubleshoot. 

The solution is configurable and has many features.

I like the mapping that you could do and the dashboards were very pretty.

We created dashboards that would provide visibility. We could look at a site and at the surface and we would be able to tell if there was anything going on.

Overall, it is a good user experience and the dashboards are very usable.

The most valuable feature of the tool for network management tasks is the historical utilization as well as the alerts that I get during jitters or any latency-related issues.

The Network Device Monitor itself is very useful. It's also easy to use. 

We like how you can select an individual device and basically, in NPM Network Performance, there are two types of settings. You can discover the devices on auto network discovery. On top of that, you can individually add a device, and if the device is not recognized in the auto-discovery procedure, you can add it manually. You can add MIBs in the Network Device Monitor if the MIBs are not supported. 

We are just monitoring a UPS, and the UPS is not supported in SolarWinds NPM, so what we need to do is individually add that device to the Network Device Monitor. We can individually import the MIBs from the vendor and install them into the NDM Network Device Monitor, and that's the beauty of it.

The initial setup is straightforward. It doesn't take long to install everything.

The product is stable. 

We can scale the solution if we need to.

The most valuable features of SolarWinds Network Device Monitor are the reports. We are configuring the reports, and the first reports are only about the devices. We are configuring the thresholds in order to monitor all the devices.

The most valuable feature of SolarWinds Network Device Monitor is it shows you the utilization of devices to allow you to take proactive action before something goes down or reaches the saturation point. You can take proactive action to fix the problem before it occurs.

Link monitoring is the most valuable feature of this solution.

We can drill down if that particular graph is shown in SolarWinds which is not available in ManageEngine; instead, a five-minute countdown will begin. It will be correct every five minutes to one hour. If you raise the points, the links will be broken. I have approximately 3,000 links. If I increase that interval to one minute, it will consume more of the VMs.

SolarWinds is faster in terms of performance.

The reading it is showing is more accurate, when compared with other monitoring solutions.

In terms of general network monitoring features, I find SolarWinds Network Device Monitor very flexible and comfortable to use. The software itself is extremely useful when it comes to monitoring how our data moves between different networks and environments.

I especially like that I can set alert thresholds that get sent to me via email when certain conditions are met. These show me whenever there are any problems and they are very effective in helping us troubleshoot them.

The alerts we are getting when we start losing connection access have been helpful. If a device is starting to get, for example, a higher than normal level of activity or the CPU starts to increase there is an alert. The alert is the most beneficial for us.

The pricing isn't too bad. 

It's been stable.
