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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SolarWinds NPM is a scalable solution since it can handle a huge number of users."
"Technical support has always been great."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its graphical interface and reports."
"With SolarWinds, it’s easy to monitor everything and, with a little setup, everyone can help out."
"If you are looking for something which is very customizable for the customization of your network, then you should go with SolarWinds."
"Implementing this product has given us detailed visibility and understanding of our network, and small teams are able to manage large enterprises with this tool."
"It gives us a map of the network setup and one console to see the entire network."
"From the product side, it covers everything; it is perfect."
"The Tintri product line as a whole has freed up a lot of resources from constant administration of legacy enterprise storage."
 

Cons

"The solution is not always good with new features, so it's take a long time."
"They have had a rather large security breach in the past. It's cost some companies customers."
"I would say the NPM toolset has room for improvement."
"In terms of scalability, there is room for improvement. When you start monitoring, if you have so many interfaces and you're trying to monitor them at a faster interval, or a shorter interval, you get to a point where you need to request another node."
"Robustness of network element mapping tool could be better"
"Technical support hasn't been the most reliable. Sometimes it takes them a long time to respond or resolve the issues."
"There isn't a great deal of flexibility to create custom metrics that can be discovered easily or custom aggregation schemes."
"The dashboards for this solution could be improved."
"A better Tintri would be a "cheaper" one to get things started again."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Though I don't remember the price for SolarWinds NPM, its price is somewhat okay when you compare it with other tools in the market. The price isn't too high and isn't too low, so it's okay."
"There is a permanent license and also a subscription level which has annual fees. The price of the solution is fair."
"SolarWinds is expensive. That's why it's primarily banks using the solution. Small businesses can't afford it. Due to its pricing, most smaller enterprises like manufacturing companies are not interested. For example, we have a client who is also interested in traffic monitoring, but they are not purchasing SolarWinds because of the cost."
"Excluding the costs of running VMs and physical blade servers, our licensing costs run around US$200,000/year for over 60 polling engines."
"We have a perpetual license for this solution, and my impression is that this solution is cheap."
"The price is more expensive than some other products, such as ManageEngine."
"It is not an expensive product."
"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."

Nagios vs. Zabbix vs. PRTG vs. Spiceworks vs. Solarwinds Network Performance Monitor
I have researched a quite a few network monitoring tools which can be used for various monitoring purposes of not only the servers, but the intermediate routers as well. There are majorly three types of these softwares. Ones which are completely open-source, you can do almost anything you want…
