We performed a comparison between Dell CloudIQ and SolarWinds NPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Mobile application is the most valuable feature for us. We can monitor all the storages on our phones. It's really good."
"Fewer vulnerabilities have been observed in the four years we have used the solution."
"Has really nice roll-up dashboards."
"The tool for forecasting capacity is valuable."
"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."
"We have configured multiple alerts for our network devices, including routers and switches, so that we are notified if any interface goes down."
"A product that is well-tested and trusted in demanding situations."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"SolarWinds NPM has a colorful UI and many easy-to-use features. It does not need to be configured as much and is also easy to install."
"We found that it was easy to operate, and it was simple if anyone has entry-level working experience or even if someone is not experienced."
"It's easy to understand, even if you are not too technical."
"It combines and presents information from many different sources, giving a corporate-wide vision on a single pane of glass."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Doesn't do well in terms of integrating with technologies other than Dell."
"In terms of improvement, they should enhance the product range."
"Supporting legacy systems is an area that can be improved."
"PowerScale is the only file system offered and that is limiting."
"The reporting capabilities of this solution could be improved."
"It is not that stable. As a Windows software, I have seen issues with SolarWinds. The performance is slow."
"It would be nice if SolarWinds added some technical protocols like Modbus. The market needs a simple solution for monitoring a technical device."
"This product could improve by adding cloud monitoring. I want SolarWinds NPM to do much more integration, and have more involvement in cloud monitoring, like AWS or Google, or Azure. I feel like it requires lots of improvement for cloud monitoring in NPM."
"We also had to be attentive to vulnerabilities, because SolarWinds NPM have some issues in that area. We had to work with our security team, so that they could help us check and backup the data, and check what they needed to secure."
"Being able to detect devices that are trying to connect wirelessly would make using this solution much easier."
"The scalability can be better."
"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."
"There should be a little bit more integration in some of the other tooling and utilizing the APIs of devices or tools could be a little bit better."
