"It's very easy to manage and use."
"The most valuable features in SolarWinds NPM are the network search and diagnostic tools."

"There are a lot of valuable features with SolarWinds NPM. We can receive a lot of detailed data from the monitoring that can use useful for investigations, especially when you are troubleshooting. It is very helpful. Overall it was a very good experience."

"We are currently exploring automation options for various areas, and Avantra should consider implementing automation for change request management, an area they have not yet ventured into. While Avantra is currently excelling in monitoring and system refreshes, there is scope for improvement in automating change request management. In addition to primarily focusing on SAP, Avantra currently performs kernel patches which are core SAP patches. However, exploring more into OS patching could be another potential area for Avantra to expand its automation capabilities."
"Currently lacks integration with SMS services."
"Consolidation of platforms would provide a smoother experience."
"There needs to be more integration of widgets, especially for reporting purposes."
"An area for improvement in SolarWinds NPM is the short retention period. Currently, it's just for seven days of data, which is very low, making it hard for my organization to keep that data. SolarWinds recommended a seven-day retention period, but my organization needs a fourteen-day data retention period. Hence, I'd like an increase in the retention period or the database limit in SolarWinds NPM because you can't go back to the data for any investigation if seven days have passed. Another area for improvement in SolarWinds NPM is the database, which needs to be a bit more mature. I want a modified database in the next release of SolarWinds NPM. I'd also like more options added to groups because, currently, it's very limited."
"It is not that stable. As a Windows software, I have seen issues with SolarWinds. The performance is slow."
"It has covered everything, so no improvement is required at their end. The only thing is the price."
"If they did some type of synthetic monitoring, it would have been better."
"Complex and overly detailed setup."
