Solarwinds NPM Review
What do you like best about the product?
It is very easy to add a device to SolarWinds regardless of the model, and it has a great interface to analyze the data about the added device. You can set up monitoring screens for your teams with custom dashboards.
You can also get reports about the inventory and OS information of the devices you have added to solarwinds.

What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest disadvantage is that it works with too many resources on the virtual server.
There is a certain limitation for Elements, when you exceed this limitation, you need to set up a new polling engines server, which creates an extra cost.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Solarwinds, we monitor our entire network 7x24, receive alarms thanks to the thresholds we set, and inform the related teams by mail or call according to their critical, high, and medium levels.

The Virtualization manger itself is the best tool to do your troubleshooting work and have a third eye in the devices, this Virtualization manager will manage all your virtual machines and it have all the necessary monitoring parameters for making sure they monitor our virtual machines.
Very painless and simple to manage.
What do you like best about the product?
IP manager or IPAM, is very well made. We can manage so many groups of networks and it also makes it easy to find an IP when we don't remember what it belongs to. IPAM in SolarWinds allows us to tag an IP and show it as USED, RESERVED, AVAILABLE or TENTATIVE. IPAM also allows us to break out networks and subnets and create grups for each and easily organize it all.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am not familiar with many other options for what we do here, but I would like to see a more extensive vendor group for solarwinds IPAM. What I mean is when I add an IP and the necessary information for IPAM and it can detect a connection, it sometimes adds the detailed info like hostname or vendor on there. But we use SO MANY, that it does not seem to know all of them yet. An update in that regard would be very welcomed. I would also like to point out that it would be helpful to show the detailed information about each IP more compactly? It would be nice not having to scroll to the right to see the switch name or VLAN info. I mean, this can probably be organized by teams. I am in networking, so I would like to see networking details, whereas a DC tech might only need hostname and IP info.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We onboard many people regularly, and some engineers have moved on too. IPAM makes it easy to manage IPs to devices and makes it easy to see the pattern we have set forth for future generations of engineers. So they can take over quickly and maintain it as we have. With IPAM I can also edit names and manage hostnames foe devices or groups, so I can easily find what I am looking for.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is easy to use, and I recommend you at least give it a shot. Some other options out there might entice you, but IPAM has been around for a while. They know what they are doing and how we engineers like to use the service, so they adapted their services.
Monitoring tool that can help your company
What do you like best about the product?
This product is easy to manage and has a big impact in the company, easy to monitoring different IP's inside the company, no need to do manual checking, with the help of this tool, it's a life changer in the IT department
What do you dislike about the product?
This quite a complicated before deployment, needs a lot of testing and checking before a smooth implementation. This is also expensive software
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It provides alert, network mapping, automayed network monitoring, with the right SNMP settings it will quickly be discovered the issues with the IP
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Talk to experts, do a proof of concept and do a lot of testing and configuration before purchasing an expensive software.
Reliable Monitoring Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Orion allows my team to go about our day-to-day and cuts down on having to check each device on our platform manually.
What do you dislike about the product?
On occasion, the wrong distribution list would get the alarms, but that was not the fault of the application per se, as much as it is making sure your organization has a detailed notification plan mapped out before settings your orion polling engine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our Telecom team relies on Orion to send alerts when voice nodes rebooted, were up or down, or reset. This allowed us to jump to action during work-hours as soon as those alarms came into our Distribution list. The same alarms, were also visible by our NOC, so that 24/7 monitoring could successfully occur. I have suggested setting up a Service Now workflow to receive these alarm notifications to trigger ticket flows as well, that is something that can easily be leveraged with this tool.
SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor
What do you like best about the product?
It works right out of the box. Core monitoring such as availability, CPU, memory, interfaces, and volumes are done out of the box.
What do you dislike about the product?
To display non-out-of-the-box information, we need to know SolarWinds Query Language (SWQL) or SQL.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Make sure the SLAs are met for different functional areas of the infrastructure. If there are any issues, we can drill in to find the cause.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor is a good start, but other modules are needed to monitor other specific parts of the infrastructure, such as storage arrays (Storage Resource Monitor).
Great UI Experience
What do you like best about the product?
The different dashboards that you can create for various analytics related to IPs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not too configurable. Very out of the box design.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
IP conflicts and DNS mismatch
VoIP and Network Monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
Best NMS sensor for Monitor Network and VoIP packets
What do you dislike about the product?
Difficult to Install and configure, Less information internet for configuration point of view. Resource Hungry Software
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
After Setup this Amazing tool for Analysis of Network Traffic, especially when using Voice Over IP, With the help of the product of the Solar wind, we can manage our Network and fine-tune it.
The most flexible and diverse NMS tool.
What do you like best about the product?
Multi-vendor support. You can manage products of network switching from Cisco, firewalls from Paulo Alto, and WAN from any other vendors in the same place. The multi-vendor support makes this product more worthwhile purchasing since you don't need to buy a separate NMS for each and every vendor.
What do you dislike about the product?
Specific vendor NMS systems have more monitoring options and details which are not available. Solar winds have just the general tools and options for all vendors. Also, the licensing is not much flexible. The pricing can be a bit more attractive to have small-scale business solutions buy and implement this for their monitoring.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Network management includes but is not limited to hardware or software failures. Automatic backups. Bulk configuration deployments. Bulk software upgrades. Also, the tool gives detailed bandwidth utilization of each device. You can set alerts to monitor your WAN uplinks and give instant alerts if anything fails. Also you can monitor and troubleshoot any network issues related to users from the very tool. The GUI interface makes it easier to find and resolve issues with less time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you have all the features you require are supported by solar winds for the product you are planning to monitor.
