"The installation is easy."
"We are satisfied with the stability of the solution."
 

Cons

"Lacks network overview for the entire connected network."
"Technical support for the devices should be improved. That should be made easier."
"The price could be a bit lower."
"We now use ConnectWise because while using SolarWinds we were attacked by ransomware. The solution did not protect us."
"We did not like SolarWinds because it was not able to communicate between UPSA and our accounting system. They should have better integration."
