SolarWinds NPM Reviews

We primarily use this solution for network troubleshooting and monitoring.

The interface is user-friendly, making it easy to use.

This is a comprehensive product that covers security, networking, and more.

Having more technical and support resources available in Saudi Arabia would be helpful.

I have been working with SolarWinds NPM for one year.

Up to now, everything has been reliable.

In terms of scalability, it is very much so. It is not determined by the number of end-users for this type of solution, but rather, by the capacity of network flow. This is something that we expect will increase in the future.

Technical support is something that is very important for us. It is the number one factor.

We are dealing with the vendor directly and are satisfied, although having more local engineers, support, and other resources in Saudi Arabia would be helpful.

The initial setup is straightforward.

I find that the pricing is acceptable.

This is a valuable and powerful product that will provide users with more than they expect, all in one place. Other products, by comparison, often have limitations in the features. SolarWinds is comprehensive and covers everything, and I recommend it.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

It would be nice if SolarWinds added some technical protocols like Modbus. The market needs a simple solution for monitoring a technical device.

I have been using SolarWinds for two years. 

It is an absolutely stable platform.

It's very easy to scale. The scalability is brilliant. If you need additional monitoring resources or if you need to plug in your secondary data center, it takes thirty minutes. It's easy to use.

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 setup took approximately two to three hours. You need about two hours for tuning. If you use only two or three modules like network performance monitors or network traffic analyzers, you need two or three hours, not more.

The setup required two staff members. One network administrator who needs to pre-configure the network infrastructure and one administrator. You need only two administrators.

You pay for the license you need. You buy it and use. The next year you will have to buy a renewal.

I would recommend this solution to someone considering it. 

I would rate it a nine out of ten. 

SolarWinds NPM is used to monitor network components and solutions.

We used it to monitor downtime and latency between applications, as well as the latency between services.

The most valuable feature of this solution is the monitoring capabilities.

If they did some type of synthetic monitoring, it would have been better.

I have been working with SolarWinds NPM for 10 years.

We are working on the most up-to-date version.

SolarWinds NPM is a stable product.

You could question the scalability. It could be improved.

The technicals support is fair. I would rate them a three out of five.

The initial setup was pretty straightforward.

I believe that we pay approximately $80,000 per year.

There can be fees in addition to the licensing fees if you add on.

I would suggest putting in a larger VM infrastructure than they ask for because, if you don't, it'll probably be a little slow.

I would rate SolarWinds NPM an eight out of ten.

SolarWinds NPM is useful for any company that has business-critical applications running over a network and they want to monitor the network behavior.

The solution could be more secure.

I have been using SolarWinds NPM for approximately eight years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable. 

We have many large global customers using this solution.

The support could improve by being quicker.

The solution is easy to install and it takes a couple of hours.

To do the implementation you need to be at an engineering level. 

I can do the implementation of this solution myself.

There is a permanent license and also a subscription level which has annual fees. The price of the solution is fair.

I would strongly recommend this solution for others.

I rate SolarWinds NPM a nine out of ten.

SolarWinds NPM has a colorful UI and many easy to use features. It does not need to be configured as much and is also easy to install.

It would be good to have high security. This is a concern after the attacks. 

They also need to focus more on the application side.

I've been using it for nearly six months.

It is stable.

It is scalable.

It was easy to set up.

We compared it to Zabbix. You can do a lot of parameters in Zabbix, but you have to configure them all. Also, it is not as easy to install.

It's good to go for SolarWinds NPM, but make sure that you do all the upgrades on time.

I would rate SolarWinds NPM at seven on a scale from one to ten.

The most valuable features are language support and technical support.

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

I have been using this solution for seven years.

The initial setup varies but can be quite complex.

This product is priced quite highly. Its licenses are available yearly, and the calculation of costs is quite complex.

I would rate this solution as nine out of ten.

This solution provides one standardized platform for network device monitoring.

This solution allows us to monitor physical and virtual devices and applications.

The most valuable feature of this solution is the alerts.

It is difficult for stakeholders to translate technical requirements, which results in difficulties selecting a platform or implementing a solution.

We have been using this solution for more than ten years.
