We performed a comparison between Dell CloudIQ, Evanios, and SolarWinds NPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."The best thing about this solution is that you can check for the infrastructure and system updates that you might need to be compliant with the Cloud."
"Fewer vulnerabilities have been observed in the four years we have used the solution."
"Mobile application is the most valuable feature for us. We can monitor all the storages on our phones. It's really good."
"Has really nice roll-up dashboards."
"The tool for forecasting capacity is valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with various alert-generating systems because you might have synthetic alerts or monitoring alerts for volume drops."
"Provided up to a 90% noise reduction in some our noisy monitoring tools."
"The ability to manipulate events via JavaScript getting the exact data that we want."
"Technical support is very helpful with our upgrades."
"Being able to easily, and quickly obtain disc space statistics from servers and determine how much was free or used on various volumes."
"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."
"SolarWinds NPM is a scalable solution since it can handle a huge number of users."
"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."
"One of the best features is the reports feature."
"The people in technical support are very good."
"Doesn't do well in terms of integrating with technologies other than Dell."
"The reporting capabilities of this solution could be improved."
"Supporting legacy systems is an area that can be improved."
"In terms of improvement, they should enhance the product range."
"PowerScale is the only file system offered and that is limiting."
"More complex correlation rules would be nice. The ability to clearly define a parent event in a correlation and nested correlations, specifically."
"The price could be cheaper."
"We would like the ability to have an "exit" option for events when they are being processed."
"Consolidation of platforms would provide a smoother experience."
"My team has had a lot of issues with support."
"GUI needs improvement with a more graphical dashboard."
"SolarWinds could offer more support and insights for a broader range of devices. Currently, it focuses on routers, switches, and some load balancers. However, it lacks an out-of-the-box dashboard for monitoring firewalls and some other modern network security devices. We have to customize it a lot."
"SolarWinds NPM needs to increase its elements. One polling engine can only support 10,000 elements then it becomes slow. There are limitations even if you have the full SLX version license."
"It would be nice if SolarWinds added some technical protocols like Modbus. The market needs a simple solution for monitoring a technical device."
"We'd like to see a bit more automation in the future."
"They have had a rather large security breach in the past. It's cost some companies customers."
