"ControlUp has an easy installation process."
"It has a great career time monitoring tool."
"The script-based actions have allowed us to extend the core reporting capabilities."
"When using ControlUp, the core feature that we have found valuable is its UI. It is a valuable tool to view the analysis reactions of a base core Level 2 or Level 1 team so that they can complete the necessary troubleshooting."
"It shows you so many details of what's going on in that log-on that, if there's a problem, you can identify it in five minutes."
"Security, uptime, and reduced capital expenditures are the main reasons we use ControlUp. So basically, the money that we consume is based on the amount of time we are using a service."
"Monitoring capabilities are at a high level and it is easy to see utilization, access ports, and CPU memory in real time or through a lens for long-term visualization."
"I like that SolarWinds NPM is a strong tool for monitoring network devices, switches, and routers. It's also a user-friendly tool. My team also likes how scalable it is."
"We don't have any issues with the stability of SolarWinds NPM."
"The most valuable feature of SolarWinds NPM is the performance monitoring to see the memory, and CPU utilization."
"With just three modules, I can monitor server performance (whether it’s a VM, in the cloud, or an on-premises server."
"All the features are very good. The monitoring of the equipment, the configuration manager, and the IP address monitoring are great."
"Being able to easily, and quickly obtain disc space statistics from servers and determine how much was free or used on various volumes."
"The initial setup was straightforward. We deployed the solution from new and completed the upgrades."
"It can be improved by including script-based scheduling."
"Integration is always a problem, and we feel that we are doing our best and the service provider thinks they are doing their best. I guess if ControlUp's system could be more capable or if people could understand the integration part, that would be better."
"Solve is a quick and intuitive tool for quickly mapping data together, however, once you have the view of the data that you like, it is difficult to share this with colleagues."
"The most common complaint that I have heard, at least within our organization, is about reporting. They have their own reporting. It's just that it doesn't yet include everything that you can look at within the application. You can only report on specific metrics or collections."
"The graphical user interface needs to be improved from version to version."
"We'd like to see the mobile app working again so that we can get alerts 24/7. This is especially useful for the person on call."
"Something I would love to see from a partner perspective would be maybe a way to do this in a surface hosting provider."
"This solution be improved by including load throttling tools. For example, I can identify a service where we spend a lot of CPU but I cannot restrict the service from ControlUp. I have to use another tool like AppSense."
"The integration with video apps could be better."
"The solution could improve in many areas, such as the marketing and description of the products, providing areas of improvement, cloud capabilities, and being able to be more streamlined with the current integration points with other applications."
"It has covered everything, so no improvement is required at their end. The only thing is the price."
"SolarWinds NPM could improve the graphics of the interface and more customized reporting."
"The dashboard of the solution is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"It would be good to have high security."
"The product is scalable, but at a cost. Extra modules have to be purchased for each extra server. The initial set up isn't complex, but will require someone who is experienced with the network monitoring system"
"Robustness of network element mapping tool could be better"
