Likelihood to Recommend	SolarWinds On its own, it's a solid choice for an SMB or Mid-size Enterprise if you're price sensitive and looking primarily for core functionality. SolarWinds has a large family of products that can also be leveraged in conjunction with SWNDM. Turning the product loose on a very large environment for discovery and mapping should be done with care and concern for a number of reasons but including the performance of the product for this task. If you're looking for an all-in-one product with some presumed supporting features built in (config manager, etc.) you'll need to look elsewhere. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	SolarWinds Monitor for and record network device configuration changes. Allow for the creation, or modification, of hardening standards for multiple vendors' network devices. Automate the creation of alerts that can be sent to owners for correction of compliance violations. Allow you to organize a visualization of your network devices.

Cons	SolarWinds More security put into the product, the Orion hack was not good news. More frequent releases to address small bugs rather than big releases that are rare. More IPv6 related features to make it easier for people familiar with IPv4 to learn IPv6. Ability to edit dashboards using JSON or another similar language.

Alternatives Considered	SolarWinds MS is meant for windows monitoring and up/down for mostly everything else. Moved away from MS System Center. Now we have better visibility and management can get reports. The other teams have added Linux to Solarwinds and also see improvements in monitoring. Whether you use snmp (v3), wmi or some other credentials to connect to you system, Solarwinds will more than likely be able to manage and monitor it.
