Infrastructure monitoring provides comprehensive and proactive alerts
One of the valuable features of this site is that it operates 24/7, monitoring my entire infrastructure, uptime, and related error issues. For example, it can monitor my network switches. The feature includes IP SLA to assess IP-based connections like static IPs. An alert is generated if issues occur, monitored through email notifications. It can also monitor Kubernetes, containers, FTP servers, and MSP features. The self-healing automation capability is also included.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the valuable features of this site is that it operates 24/7, monitoring my entire infrastructure, uptime, and related error issues."
"Site24x7 stands out. It is truly amazing."
"Reporting tools are a great feature along with the ability to create customized reports for you"
"This solution offers a very good view of our network and allows us to effectively monitor performance."
"The people in technical support are very good."
"The solution is user-friendly and has many options for customized monitoring that other tools don't have."
"The most valuable features of SolarWinds NPM are network performance monitoring and the overall benefit for servers."
"Everything has been complete and stable for our needs over the past four years."
"I can do everything remotely, including running PowerShell scripts or performing standard updates."
"The alerting and usage tracking notifications on disk space capacity, network and processor utilization."
 

Cons

"It is technical. The engineer must be familiar with it."
"The product is not difficult to use. That said, it is technical. The engineer must be familiar with it."
"The integration with the APIs and the web servers deployed can definitely be improved."
"Technical support can be slow to respond."
"The solution needs to integrate with additional SDN technologies that are part of the hyper market."
"The market is changing, and people are expecting automation. I think that's a disadvantage."
"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."
"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."
"A need for improvement is in the technical support provided by SolarWinds. Customers have given feedback about the delayed response times from the technical team, especially during application-level issues."
"An area for improvement would be the use of modular licenses, which are not practical for big clients."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We pay for SolarWinds NPM yearly. We buy it and then we renew it, but it's not subscription-based. I don't remember the value exactly, because it's my manager who manages pricing, but we pay $60,000 per year for all the solutions. Pricing will also depend on the number of devices. We have a lot of devices."
"The pricing needs to be improved. It is too high. One full engine costs around $10 000, which is why we don't have high availability right now."
"I find that the pricing is acceptable."
"The price is more expensive than some other products, such as ManageEngine."
"There can be fees in addition to the licensing fees if you add on."
"Licenses depend on the number of devices, but all license levels come with technical support."
"When I compare the cost of CA Spectrum to that of SolarWinds NPM, the cost of CA Spectrum is way too high, and the cost of SolarWinds NPM is pretty low."
"The cost of the personal perpetual license for SolarWinds NPM is approximately $2,000."
