Users value data-driven insights for optimizing business operations
The most important features are the site-to-site user experience, including details like how many users are on a site, the number of users on an SSID, and identifying guest users in business premises. These features help in understanding peak times during business hours and are highly valued by customers in Qatar.

Central monitoring has improved outage alerts and now needs smarter detection and modern dashboards
Regarding the automated network topology and mapping feature in SolarWinds NPM, I am not satisfied with it. For static monitoring, it is acceptable. However, if it is possible, I would need a feature in SolarWinds in the future for some kind of malfunctioning detection, such as malware attacks or that type of environment. We did not have any facility to detect that in SolarWinds. I think it would be better to incorporate those types of features. Regarding customization options in SolarWinds, the ability to customize the dashboard has room for improvement. The dashboard is quite old, and we need some improvement in it. Nowadays, we have multiple tools with AI-based monitoring and web-based dashboards. SolarWinds also has a web-based dashboard, but I think there is scope for improvement in the UI. There may be other areas I would like to improve in SolarWinds NPM.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The solution is stable due to its Cloud-based nature, which eliminates downtime or crashing issues."
"It has helped us a ton to actually be proactive and not simply wait for customers to call."
"Provides instant visibility to our support team across all the networks we monitor, allowing us to zero in on the most urgent issues and easily identify root causes of problems."
"For end-user performance monitoring, we like features such as availability of our all devices."
"Everything has been complete and stable for our needs over the past four years."
"The most valuable feature is the vital states of the devices as it provides overall CPU and device health information."
"SolarWinds NPM has helped our organization by proactively indicating if we are low on resources for a particular server."
"The most valuable feature of SolarWinds NPM is the performance monitoring to see the memory, and CPU utilization."
"At the moment, our main tool is SolarWinds NPM, and we keep using it, especially for monitoring cloud devices."
 

Cons

"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Before October 2024, there was room for improvement in the UI to make it more user-friendly. The Client Insight page on Juniper Mist Premium Analytics could be made simpler."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The dashboards for this solution could be improved. We would like to divide the dashboards to give a clear view to our management team to show what we have and what deficiencies exist in our network."
"There isn't support available to us as they don't offer support in our country."
"The solution could be more secure."
"I think Solar Winds NPM needs to create a profile with documentation responsibility."
"The cost is based on the number of nodes, so it is expensive when you have a lot of them."
"The interface can be a bit cumbersome at times."
"Customer Service: 0/10 as there were no knowledge base articles when I used it, and every new patch required customer login to apply."
"SolarWinds is not an all-in-compassing product. We are looking to change away from this solution because of the documentation and the solution doesn't have enough integration in our country."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"The solution's pricing is low compared to a lot of other tools in the market."
"USD $15,000 annually for maintenance."
"There is a permanent license and also a subscription level which has annual fees. The price of the solution is fair."
"The solution can become very expensive and commercially not viable in countries, such as India."
"The pricing is in the middle. It's not particularly cost-effective, but it's not overly expensive either."
"It's expensive and there are costs in addition to the standard licensing."
"Most of the licenses are perpetual, and the annual maintenance charges are not high."
"It is expensive."
