Automation increases efficiency, but pricing needs to be more competitive

Improvement is needed in making it cheaper, of course. I am not emphasizing making it cheaper, however, it should be more competitive with other products. The product itself is very good and helpful for me as a customer. The issue always is the price, as we cannot beat most of our competitors on pricing alone. If a product is just nice to have, not essential like an antivirus, if it's not really competitive with pricing, we cannot sell it.

Quotes from Members

"It is a pretty stable solution...It is a pretty stable solution."

More Kaseya Traverse pros

"The most valuable features of SolarWinds Network Device Monitor are the reports. We are configuring the reports, and the first reports are only about the devices. We are configuring the thresholds in order to monitor all the devices."

"You can create an attractive dashboard and create a hierarchy."

"Link monitoring is the most valuable feature of this solution."

"The most valuable feature of SolarWinds Network Device Monitor is monitoring."

More SolarWinds Network Device Monitor pros

Cons

"The tool needs to have some AI capabilities, which it lacks currently."

"Kaseya Traverse can improve by adding a Service Map to help us create a configuration management database (CMDB), this would be helpful for us."

"Dashboards and Central Protection were an issue. Also, database monitoring was not there. Even though they said that it was there at an additional cost, that tool was very basic. We couldn't have device configuration backup also."

"Reporting is a bit difficult."

"Improvement is needed in making it cheaper."

"Reporting is tedious and not organized in the way customers expect."

"In terms of what could be improved, we are innovating all the time, as well as having a look at different avenues so that the strategy follows the structure. I think the software is still a little bit too new to actually fully asses what it has."

"However, the issue lies in the adequacy of the responses to my questions, which are usually not up to par."

More Kaseya Traverse cons

"The reporting feature needs improvement because we are unable to configure reports that were included during initial implementation."

"In terms of price, it could be less expensive."

"SolarWinds Network Device Monitor could improve by being more user-friendly. The network has so many features which make it difficult to find how to configure how to use it. It is not simple to customize."

"When an organization's network grows, the complexity of the dashboard becomes an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The security could always be improved."

"The main disadvantage of SolarWinds Network Device Monitor is the licensing cost, which is expensive."

"SolarWinds Network Device Monitor could improve the features. We don't have the complete model for the database, and the monitoring for the database is up and down. We expect that we could monitor the blocking items on the database but we don't have that feature."

"The solution should have AI-powered issue-resolving capabilities"

More SolarWinds Network Device Monitor cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not cheap, but it is not too expensive."

"The price depends on whether you are monitoring different applications, especially in bulk, and depends on what you're doing. If you're monitoring one endpoint, it will cost you 150 ZAR."

"When compared with other solutions SolarWinds is more expensive."

"The product is expensive."

"Thankfully, it doesn't take a lot of manpower to install and deploy."
