NCM Rocks!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ability to manage switch configurations and other features such as the baselining process, the scripting component, and other features. Our systems team and networking teams can work simultaneously in the dashboard on whatever we need.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have no real dislikes regarding NCM at the moment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to access the NCM dashboard for all things switches and network devices is nice.
Excellent NMS Platform
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to run compliance reports and automatically correct any non-compliant devices.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not a fan of the EoL or EoS reports.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making sure we are SOX and PCI compliant from a configuration standpoint. Having a backup system for all of our CLI capable devices and a trail of configuration changes. Quickly running scripts to select devices cutting down on the time to deploy changes since we don't have to log into each device individually.
Great for standardizing a network.
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to create configuration changes based on configured custom properties (that are unique to that device or shared by several devices) is amazing.
What do you dislike about the product?
The inability to use interface custom properties to create configuration changes is the biggest gap I can find.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Network configuration backups happen almost as soon as changes are made. Old, potentially harmful, configuration are removed each night if found.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take it for a test drive and use Thwack to see what other people have done, some of it is amazing.
Great utility for monitoring our NetApp storage systems
What do you like best about the product?
Visibility of our storage systems in one central location. We have three NetApp arrays, all of which we can see from the individual physical disk layer all the way through the agregrate, vservers, volumes and luns. Additionally, SolarWinds Storage Resource Monitor integrates with our entire SolarWinds infrastructure (Virtualization Manager, Server and Application Monitor) which provides us an overall picture of our environment and impact when there is an issue.
What do you dislike about the product?
There really isn't any dislikes for this solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ensure that our storage systems, volumes and arrays stay up and do not run out of space! Real-time alerting from the system is the biggest benefit. Anytime one of our volmes becomes low on space we immediately get notified 24-7 with enough time to resolve the issue before our systems go out of service due to space issues.
Help to identify and provide solution by monitoring.
What do you like best about the product?
Solarwinds tools provide a broad Community / Forum service support for all network devices and servers, which helps you to easily solve problems. Solarwinds features a pooling system that lets you install solarwinds as many servers as you want beside solarwinds. You never restrict yourself to the database with this pooling method.
What do you dislike about the product?
The linux server can not be used as much as I know, only the windows server can be used. If you have many devices / nodes, some graphs view data very slowly, very similar to PRTG / MRTG software, web guys so slowly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SolarWinds Network Monitoring Tool has great capabilities for monitoring network devices with snmp, make models, netflow / sflow supports and simple configuration. For solar winds you can do almost all the apps you need. This great tool however has an important webgui issue. Solarwind Webgui is very slow even with a lot of polling servers. I assume mysql and asp choices are related, so it's not rapid like PRTG.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you monitor / manage the system number, learn as much information as you can and use the community / forum as possible.

Excellent product for monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
Fast, clear performance status and potential outages. Easy integration with other tools and custom alert options. This must be by far the greatest monitoring I've ever used for networking and services. It has a lot of features and works all the time.
What do you dislike about the product?
For a small company like us the licensing costs are really high.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
