Central monitoring has improved outage alerts and now needs smarter detection and modern dashboards

Regarding the automated network topology and mapping feature in SolarWinds NPM, I am not satisfied with it. For static monitoring, it is acceptable. However, if it is possible, I would need a feature in SolarWinds in the future for some kind of malfunctioning detection, such as malware attacks or that type of environment. We did not have any facility to detect that in SolarWinds. I think it would be better to incorporate those types of features. Regarding customization options in SolarWinds, the ability to customize the dashboard has room for improvement. The dashboard is quite old, and we need some improvement in it. Nowadays, we have multiple tools with AI-based monitoring and web-based dashboards. SolarWinds also has a web-based dashboard, but I think there is scope for improvement in the UI. There may be other areas I would like to improve in SolarWinds NPM.

We can set up a dashboard to monitor the status of an entire site, which provides more insight into any issues across devices

One engineer is enough for the solution's maintenance. There has been a significant improvement in Statseeker in the last few versions. It includes a wallet map and features we plan to implement when deploying the latest or penultimate versions across all our sites. This will significantly assist in identifying sites surpassing thresholds or KPIs, making issue detection much more accessible. The threshold feature is handy for identifying delays and major outages. This graphical map enables us to quickly assess the scope of nationwide problems, allowing for swift action and efficient reporting to management and service providers. This tool facilitates monitoring by visualizing all network elements with their respective coordinates, highlighting any downtimes or issues through color-coded green for operational, orange for approaching thresholds, yellow for minor alarms, and red for critical issues. The tool is a monitoring tool that helps in identifying problems. It is necessary to have someone trained to set up the dashboards because they might require some programming or specific configuration skills. Once it's configured, it works well. It's not as straightforward as other tools where you plug in the device, and everything works. With Statseeker, you still need to put in some effort to set up your dashboard properly. It requires someone with good training and proficiency in setting up these dashboards. They can benefit the technical and operations teams, providing useful insights into the network and the executive management team to receive reports on the overall network health. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The reports are excellent; they give good graphical information and a lot of great details about everything that's going on in my network, and it's easy to read and understand due to its visual nature."

"This solution offers a very good view of our network and allows us to effectively monitor performance."

"SolarWinds has greatly helped us, especially in tracing when the SoundCloud Software goes down without any apparent reason."

"I like the tracking feature to track devices and see where they are connected, which is very practical."

"The most valuable feature of SolarWinds NPM is the performance monitoring to see the memory, and CPU utilization."

"Technical support has always been great. They are very responsive. We've been satisfied with their level of support."

"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."

"The biggest thing for me is that it provided enough information for me to monitor. It alerts and provides you with the information you need."

More SolarWinds NPM pros

"The most important feature for us is the interface statistics, because our customer normally asks us for bandwidth utilization reports. Statseeker has very descriptive transmit and receive information."

"I like the fact that I can aggregate multiple interfaces into a single graph. It allows me to quickly the summary of traffic for multiple devices which is helpful."

"Statseeker is very fast and fantastic in terms of granularity of network visibility, letting us get down to per-minute statistics that are really useful for diagnosing problems and troubleshooting traffic hop by hop."

"Grouping, Threshold/alerts, Netflow analyser, Private MIB object support are most valuable as they can provide more visibility into network performance, and for network troubleshooting."

"If you want something that is easy to use and catches the basics, especially for your first line people, then this is the product to go with."

"You install, add SNMP credentials, add devices and BAM. Done."

"The most important for us is how fast this solution is, as well as the granularity that you can get to, such as per-minute statistics."

"This is a great product for anybody looking for network monitoring, and I would highly recommend it."

More Statseeker pros

Cons

"The console could be more user-friendly. It would be better if SolarWinds updated the user interface."

"It would be beneficial if NPM offered support for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), as currently, it does not support this and we are migrating our services there."

"An area for improvement would be the use of modular licenses, which are not practical for big clients."

"GUI needs improvement with a more graphical dashboard."

"Technical support can be slow to respond."

"I think the graphical environment, the GUI still has to be improved."

"Application Performance Monitoring should be included in this solution."

"The solution is not always good with new features, so it's take a long time."

More SolarWinds NPM cons

"I would like to see more comprehensive reporting and alerting."

"It could use more features on Netflow analyser, such as time series graphs and a single network export UDP port and UDP forwarding."

"We haven't seen an ROI."

"Some of their basic licensing model is a bit of a ripoff."

"I would like to see some layer two and layer three topology mappings, similar to what NNMi and SolarWinds presents."

"I would like to have soft alarming. If an inner-base all of a sudden triggers a threshold, we have to rely on a lot of other tools and then we go into Statseeker to verify it. If Statseeker would confirm it preemptively and trigger it into our network panel, that would be nice."

"The main issue I've seen, in the last six months to a year, is when I upgrade I seem to be hitting bugs. The upgrade won't go smoothly and I have to engage support. These things happen when you upgrade, it's not the end of the world, but from a stability point of view, the only time I've so far, is during upgrades."

"It would be nice if they had twenty-four-hour technical support because we contact Australia and we have to wait for them to open."

More Statseeker cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a multi-year license for the use of this solution. There are additional costs for recourses in the environment."

"It's expensive and there are costs in addition to the standard licensing."

"Quite highly priced"

"The pricing is very expensive for SolarWinds. That's a huge disadvantage for it."

"I find that the pricing is acceptable."

"The pricing is in the middle. It's not particularly cost-effective, but it's not overly expensive either."

"Licenses depend on the number of devices, but all license levels come with technical support."

"You have to license it per year, for the support. You don't really need to have support once you've already set it up. Once you install SolarWinds, you can skip on the licensing. It will still work."

More SolarWinds NPM pricing and cost advice

"It would definitely be a yearly licensing cost, but I don't know what it is."

"Compared to other solutions such as Zabbix and AKiPS, this solution is very well priced."

"Pricing is reasonable but licensing should unlimited."

"We paid $5,000 to $10,000 a year in maintenance."

"We pay a yearly maintenance fee of approximately $40,000 USD."

"The licensing cost is yearly and it's $5,000 to $8,000, I think."

"When it came to selecting this solution, it came down to cost."

"The yearly cost varies as per the number of devices being monitored. The cost for 25,000 devices is about $4500."
