Good network troubleshooting app with extra add-ons
What do you like best about the product?
We've used NPM for several years to monitor for potential network issue and the ability to alert us to take action before the crisis hits. Tech support is very responsive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Aggressive sales team. We use the VoIP and Network Quality Mgr as well and get regular sales calls and emails pushing other products. We have what we need so the constant sales pitches get annoying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Identifying potential network issues before they become business impacting. We get 24/7 monitoring and alerts in advance so we can respond as needed to keep our systems up and stable
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Product provides a great set of tools for alerting but need to be set carefully to balance the amount of alerts otherwise you can get too many alerts that are not critical.
Can easily create different levels and alerts to provide info or critical notices.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure this is going to full fill all of your needs prior to going down the path of implementing. This takes a bit to adjust to. Once everything is setup though it gives excessive amounts of automated support.

The GUI interface could be a little better.

Does what it is advertised to do
What do you like best about the product?
Very useful tool to automatically a scan large number of subnets and the option to import CSV files rather than having to manually enter in each subnet for scanning. A good dynamic alternative to tracking basic IP address assignment/usage than say a spreadsheet. It's easy to use, tracks historical records of IP addresses from the most recent scan and allows comments to be added to each.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's isn't much to not like about this product since it's made for a fairly specific purpose (IP address management) and it does what it was made to do. It would be nice if the subnet scanner can also process host names or fully qualified domain names rather than strictly IP addresses.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use this application as a tool to track IP address usage for a large number of subnets; some are DHCP-enabled while others are not. A lot of times when workstations with statically-assigned IP addresses are decommissioned, the IP address database may not be updated. Over time, a large number of dormant IP addresses will remain in the database, which becomes challenging when the number of available addresses in a given subnet runs low,. This tools allows us to locate these dormant IP addresses and make them available for use again.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The IP Address Tracker is a free alternative to the full-fledged IP Address Manager for users wanting to scan subnets manually and only requiring basic IP address management.

Solarwinds Network Performance Monitor
What do you like best about the product?
The features I like the most about this tool are the fast and easy deployment and the high quality monitoring and alerting. Very nice UI, also very scalable. NPM has a lot of customization and notification that can be done
What do you dislike about the product?
The element base pricing is very expensive, can quickly escalade.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This tool helps prevent major Server downtimes with a great alert system. Every System Administrator should have this. I can't count the number of times it has saved me.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I've tried many different monitoring tools and nothing comes close to this one. I hate to repeat myself but the UI is simply amazing!
Great logging solution - easy to deploy as cloud based, good features, reasonable price
What do you like best about the product?
Very quick and easy to deploy in the cloud. It seems like the product was designed from early on to live in a multi-tenant cloud solution.
The features are very focused on troubleshooting. The filtering is very good, and one of my favorite features is their "view surrounding events" option which lets you look at all the events before/after a specific event that you find.
I really like their built in feature that archives all data to AWS S3 even though there is a limited amount of data available via the web UI (14 days default). This has been critical a few times we had to go find something from a few months back.
Built in capabilities for saved searches and notifications is good.

What do you dislike about the product?
Web interface can be a little slow at times but is overall reliable. Volume pricing is pretty flexible to account for some peak days but could potentially be even more flexible to allow for irregular traffic.
They have a policy that will eventually drop data if you far exceed your volume multiple times. This is overall reasonable, but it would be nice to have an option where the data is perhaps saved but not available for searching.
The interface to saved searches could be better, as it shows some limitations once you have a lot of saved searches.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We provide a multi-channel marketing platform for retailers and brands. Our platform is deployed in AWS and we have log data from several types of application sources. Loggly helps consolidate all this log data and lets multiple people on the team search and organize the data in order to troubleshoot specific problems and ensure that our platform is operating correctly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Excellent solution for debug log management and analysis from different sources.
Gone with the old in with the new
What do you like best about the product?
One of the biggest changes in NTA is the new chart styles. Gone are the old static charts, instead NTA now has charts that can be dynamically changed for custom date ranges on the fly using a sliding scale below the chart.Checkboxes allow to turn on or off the display of different chart elements, making it easy to simplify the view by removing unwanted data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not available as standalone product – Orion Network Performance Monitor required
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring the bandwidth utilization for better QOS assignment.
