Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"We have visibility on all our network devices, through this tool, which gives me immediate alerts or notifications when some devices fail."
"SolarWinds NPM provides an overview of network monitoring, extending its capabilities to cover other aspects, such as virtual machines and servers. The platform has features like NetPath, which is particularly beneficial for end-users, offering insights into issues like latency, packet loss, and connectivity problems with routers, switches, or servers."
"We don't have any issues with the stability of SolarWinds NPM."
"All the features are very good. The monitoring of the equipment, the configuration manager, and the IP address monitoring are great."
"It did a good job of the collection and then an investigation of the net flow of information for understanding the applications that were being used at certain locations."
"The most valuable features in SolarWinds NPM are the network search and diagnostic tools."
"The alerting and usage tracking notifications on disk space capacity, network and processor utilization."
"It is considerably cheaper compared to other tools."
"The most valuable features are language support and technical support."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The only thing I can say needs improvement is in how they present the data to the end users. End users are looking for a dashboard with an attractive view. The current dashboards we have are sufficient for our needs, but not attractive for the business users at the upper management levels."
"SolarWinds could offer more support and insights for a broader range of devices. Currently, it focuses on routers, switches, and some load balancers. However, it lacks an out-of-the-box dashboard for monitoring firewalls and some other modern network security devices. We have to customize it a lot."
"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."
"The integration with the APIs and the web servers deployed can definitely be improved."
"Application Performance Monitoring should be included in this solution."
"The scalability can be better."
"This solution would benefit from expanding on the capabilities within the API."
"We decided that we were no longer going to trust that their products have not been capitalized."
"The only thing that can be improved is to continually add to the existing capabilities of the product."
