Useful for managing the configuration changes and backups, but they need to put more effort in their community
Pros and Cons
  • "It allows us to manage backups in big companies. It is also useful in managing the configuration changes."
  • "Its look and feel can be improved. They can also put in more effort into building the THWACK community and use the information about various customer issues and requests to build the new releases."

What is most valuable?

It allows us to manage backups in big companies. It is also useful in managing configuration changes. 

SolarWinds is currently in the process of a strategic change. They recognized some of the issues they had and are changing the way that they are delivering their software on-premises and on the cloud. You will be able to benefit from these changes sometime in 2023/2024.

What needs improvement?

Its look and feel can be improved. They can also put in more effort into building the THWACK community and use the information about various customer issues and requests to build new releases.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for about four years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is scalable.

What other advice do I have?

This solution works in conjunction with SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor. Usually, you first buy SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor and then SolarWinds Network Configuration Manager. You have to go with both.

I would recommend this solution. Typically, while recommending a solution, I look at what the management needs in terms of strategy, how a solution integrates, and how powerful is the IT department. Based on that, I recommend a solution that meets the needs and integrates with ITSM.

I would rate SolarWinds Network Configuration Manager a seven out of ten.
