If a customer is looking for a monitoring box solution, a medium-scale customer, and he's looking for something that can manage servers, routers, storage, applications, basic monitoring for applications, to cover everything, then SolarWinds is the right choice. However, he has to be a mid-tier customer. He cannot be an enterprise customer. If they are an enterprise customer, then SolarWinds is not the right choice as it will start to slow down.

SolarWinds Reviews
Enterprise Solutions & Services Head at Duroob Technologies
Stable with great functionality and perfect for mid-sized companies
Pros and Cons
- "It's a very good tool and a very stable tool."
- "They have had a rather large security breach in the past. It's cost some companies customers."
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
It's a very good tool and a very stable tool.
For a medium-sized customer, it has everything that you're looking for.
It has all kinds of functionality that any network team or monitoring team is looking for. It's easy to integrate with any other tool, as it has an open database. It's easy to implement and has a very nice user experience.
What needs improvement?
One of the problems that SolarWinds has is when the data becomes too big, it will start getting slower.
It's not at all for enterprise customers. I don't recommend enterprises to go for SolarWinds. They should go for a bigger tool.
They have had a rather large security breach in the past. It's cost some companies customers.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been dealing with the solution for ten years as a partner at least. It's been a long time. I've used it for about a decade at this point in that capacity. I've been dealing with SolarWinds for almost more than 17 or 18 years, personally.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We have three to four customers on the solution.
It's best for a mid-tier company, and not a large enterprise.
How are customer service and technical support?
Technical support is okay.
The only problem that they have is that last year they had a security hack issue. That is something that was a big problem SolarWinds in the market, as everybody is scared to use SolarWinds. They still have managed customers. Still, I have to say, there are very few customers that they don't have SolarWinds.
Whenever I go for meetings for security or monitoring or anything, I find some engineers still using SolarWinds. They may not be using it a lot, however, they are still using it for more than monitoring. Still, people did lose customers over it.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is very easy and quite straightforward. It's not overly difficult or complex.
The implementation is fast and doesn't take more than a month or a month and a half.
We only need one consultant to handle implementation.
What about the implementation team?
We are able to handle the setup for our clients.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The licensing process is pretty simple. it's not too complex.
What other advice do I have?
We've done a couple of implementations at this point. We're actually a partner.
For a mid-tier customer, I would rate the solution at about an eight.
I'd recommend the solution t a mid-tier customer. I wouldn't if the company was quite sizable.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
Disclosure: My company has a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer: Partner

Can SolarWinds NPM be used by network solution providers? What needs to be taken into consideration?
Can NPM be used for IP network service/solution providers for performance and fault management (QoS, SLAs)? (with HP NNMs). What else is needed?
IP NEs -> HP NNM -> NPM -> NPM portal -> customer access (PM, FM, SLA reports.)
Thanks.
