"The unique selling point of NIKSUN is its ability to scale and its reporting capabilities. NIKSUN captures the packets at a very high speed, from one GB to 160 Gbps also. It offers report granularity in nanoseconds."
"The most valuable features of NIKSUN NetVCR are its performance and forensic capabilities. Additionally, the information that the solution provides is highly detailed and useful. When dealing with network traffic packets can be sent at a high speed causing some security issues, but this solution is able to rapidly monitor the packets providing security."
"The product is lightweight in terms of memory use, requiring only 10 megabytes or less."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable features in SolarWinds NPM are the network search and diagnostic tools."
"The set up was very easy. We didn't have any problems with the setup. The deployment took less than an hour."

"Being able to easily, and quickly obtain disc space statistics from servers and determine how much was free or used on various volumes."
"The most valuable features are language support and technical support."
"I like SolarWinds support because it's 24/7. You describe your issues, your situation and maybe two or three hours later you can discuss a solution with a technical engineer."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The solution could improve by having automatic mitigation. For example, as soon as a problem occurs the solution alarms and mitigates the situation immediately."
"NIKSUN is a passive solution. It provides you with you data, alerts, reports and the root cause of issues. However, it requires a person to make use of this functionality. If an event is happening and nobody attends to it, the effects of the event could be severe."
"The solution needs to integrate with additional SDN technologies that are part of the hyper market."
"The reporting is good, but I want it to be a little easier when creating custom reports. The reports are all on the website now, but it takes some know how to get some to display the way you would like."
"The integration with the APIs and the web servers deployed can definitely be improved."
"Being able to detect devices that are trying to connect wirelessly would make using this solution much easier."
"It would be nice to have a test to check if you can access a particular device via API without installing it and waiting for a poll cycle. You should have the capacity to initiate a test to see if it was reachable and get the results almost immediately."
"The reporting module that got integrated into the system itself, used to be a standalone solution and I preferred that."
"Having more technical and support resources available in Saudi Arabia would be helpful."
"The console could be more user-friendly. It would be better if SolarWinds updated the user interface."
