"The most valuable features of SolarWinds NPM are network performance monitoring and the overall benefit for servers."

"GUI needs to be improved and the solution lacks a process for monitoring VOIP calls."

"They have good technical support but it's not excellent."
"The scalability can be better."
"An area for improvement in SolarWinds NPM is the short retention period. Currently, it's just for seven days of data, which is very low, making it hard for my organization to keep that data. SolarWinds recommended a seven-day retention period, but my organization needs a fourteen-day data retention period. Hence, I'd like an increase in the retention period or the database limit in SolarWinds NPM because you can't go back to the data for any investigation if seven days have passed. Another area for improvement in SolarWinds NPM is the database, which needs to be a bit more mature. I want a modified database in the next release of SolarWinds NPM. I'd also like more options added to groups because, currently, it's very limited."
"I think Solar Winds NPM needs to create a profile with documentation responsibility."
"We also had to be attentive to vulnerabilities, because SolarWinds NPM have some issues in that area. We had to work with our security team, so that they could help us check and backup the data, and check what they needed to secure."
"Technical support can be slow to respond."
"It has covered everything, so no improvement is required at their end. The only thing is the price."
"Time: A worldwide deployment can be confusing for dispersed users with non-local times. Each node should have a local time (with summer offset if appropriate) & each user should view & report in their local time."
"The integration needs to be improved."
