What do you like best about the product?
I like that I'm able to monitor all my switches in one location. I am able to setup alerts or quickly view issues when I login.
What do you dislike about the product?
For me its setting up the graphics/charts and pulling up the statistics for certain items.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's great to have all you devices under one software to monitor. That is the biggest benefit of having the software, but seeing the health of the devices and what is going on within the network is what I like the most.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Setup the Trial Version first and read up on it to learn some of the in's and out's.

NPM - Ease of Netowrk Monintoring Software

  • May 31, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
NPM Orion has good coverage of network component monitoring and has a excellent web interface which allows new user to easily understand the dashboard and data metrics. Also it has a good integration with other Orion product to get full stack of performance data. NPM has a very good intelligence of providing the perf stack metric which help us to pin point the problem in appropriate application layer.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be better if NPM can have more scalability for large network environment. Also product should focus more on database performance specially for large network. We would like to see more element can be monitored with NPM by keeping in mind of database performance. Also, we would like to see if SolarWinds can provide database schema to understand data structure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps operation team to proactively spot the problem before it become a real problem. It provide lot of reporting and alerting feature which is used to future planning and proactive monitoring of our network.
We are monitoring our QoS data and it really help us to analyze bandwidth usage of our network.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Highly Recommended

You're going to want to monitor your network

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Solarwinds gives us the ability to track all our network nodes, go back in time and assists in finding out what is causing a network bottleneck. there are a ton of features that come out of the box and has the ability to get customized to your hearts content. it has built in support for tracking wireless controllers other appliances. really great community on Thwack, you can get almost everything you want if you look hard enough.. but it may just take time to implement :)
What do you dislike about the product?
Some things don't really work the way you expect them to.. like the Poll now button.. running some jobs can really take a while. sometimes the page loads very slowly and i have noticed that if a page requests too many resources it can affect the experience of other users as well. other than the occasional service stopping, it seems to be reliable.

the technical support hold music is also pretty bland
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can make reports detailing circuit utilization over time, this gives us the necessary justification for upgrading. it has pretty decent reports for inventory and firmware versions. you can also make reports with SQL.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
be ready to spend time troubleshooting : )
it's good to have people that are already experienced with the tool, as it can be a little bit overwhelming to someone who hasn't used it. You also may want to spend time with your users and ask them what they want to see in dashboards.
