Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
We use [SolarWinds Engineer's Toolset] mainly to react to problems that we detect from our SW Orion. When we set up ne networks its great for Ping sweep and the subnet calculator[.] We are a big users of the Cisco Config Viewer
- Compare cisco configs
- IP address management
- Ping sweep
- [The] Bandwidth gauges could use some updating

SolarWinds Engineer's Toolset Review
I am using SolarWinds Engineer's Toolset in our organisation for automated network discover, and real time monitoring alerting. It helps us as an organisation to be proactive rather than reactive with issues on our network. We love the powerful diagnostic capabilities and the enhanced network security. It's a great solution.
- Compatibility
- In depth monitoring
- Well known solution
- Its one of the more expensive solutions
- Quite difficult to understand as a beginner
- Name has been tarnished due to the password leak
There are many features that this SolarWinds Engineer's Toolset provides. We use this toolset for stress testing on our network. We also use it for discovering devices on our network automatically. Also, and a huge one, keeping track of device configuration and log management. There is more [than] this toolset provides that we use within our [organization], but these are the main ones.
- Network Discovery
- Monitoring
- Device Configuration Management
- UI could be smoother
- Integration
- More features
We use quite a few of the tools in the toolkit. We use the MIB Browser, the Config Uploader and Downloader, Ping, TraceRoute, network Port Mapper, MAC Scanner, network discovery tool, etc. They've all solved their individual problems, but the fact that we have them all in a central location with any of the admins available to access makes troubleshooting and being proactive very handy.
- Multitude of tools in one set.
- Wide variety of uses for the kit.
- Addresses proactivity and reactivity well.
- I wish it looked a little better on the eyes. It looks a bit dated in some of the tools.

A bit out dated and not fancy - but gets the job done
Some of the modules included with the toolset are invaluable, such as the bandwidth interface monitors and other monitoring modules. It's useful to have locally installed software that engineers can use without the need to be logged into monitoring or jump servers, or rely solely on using the monitoring system.
- interface monitoring
- real time bandwidth monitoring
- mib walk
- outdated ui
- refresh of features is needed
- some tools should be EOL and new ones introduced

Hidden Gem in SolarWinds Tools Suite
SolarWinds Engineer's Toolset is used in some of our customer's SolarWinds environment as an adhoc utility for quick debugging of some of the issues which requires user's to login manually on SolarWinds NMS servers and then test it. These toolsets helps suer to allow basic checks right from the SolarWinds orion console such as for ping check of the devices, SSH connectivity, Telnet connectivity of devices from SolarWinds NMS servers.
- Debugging Tools
- Saves Time for basic checks
- Ping, Telnet, SSH right from the console and hence easy user management from console itself
- Licensing structure
- More debugging commands support
- CLI based automation for script based checks

Great collection of tools for a wide variety of needs
SolarWinds Engineer's Toolset is used as an improved toolset for many common functions that exist otherwise in Windows but with greatly improved features over the native tools. The SNMP tools, ping and port sweep, and DNS tools are especially helpful. Network discovery and WAN Killer are tools that don't exist natively and are often especially useful.
- The SNMP tools are great for discovering and troubleshooting monitoring issues.
- DNS audit is great for validating existing records and discovering inaccuracies.
- WAN Killer works well for testing out QoS and verifying the WAN circuits delivered are provisioned properly.
- The unifying component that is intended to be the initial interface to the tools seems clunky. I prefer to start the tools individually rather than using it.
- The port scanner could use some improvements to make it easier to use.

An important tool for troubleshooting networks
It is currently being used by a select number of engineers in the networking team. We use it for scanning and discovery, temporary monitoring, troubleshooting and issue analysis. More long term monitoring is done within our SolarWinds Orion server. It has been extremely useful in diagnosing and pinpointing network issues over the years.
- Network Discovery.
- Real-time monitoring.
- Troubleshooting intermittent issues.
- Slow to load individual components.
- Not easily portable to new device.
- Single user license model.

Perfect tool set for quick returns.
SolarWinds Engineer's Toolset is an essential tool to have in my tool box. It allows me to run on-demand scans of the network without the overhead of adding to the larger management suite. The ease of use allows me to also let junior engineers get their hands dirty without the risk of larger changes. It was also essential to allow us to set up custom monitoring with the MIB walk tool.
- MIB walks on SNMP objects
- IP scan of network for discovery
- Port scan
- I think as a tool set, it is very solid. If you wanted more, you would be looking for npm or other management suite tools.

Great monitoring tool!
We use [SolarWinds Engineer's Toolset] on a regular basis to monitor our production database servers. It helps to identify issues, sends alerts and allows to see the historical data up to 2 weeks, which is helpful when you have to research the blocking that happened off hours. The monitoring system is very robust and useful in many ways. Also helps to tune the queries and monitor the instances. Highly recommended tool.
- Various monitoring
- Stores history
- Suggests indices
- Helps to find the SQL query text
- Helps to see what machines/users the bad queries are coming from
- Shows current blocking session
- Navigation could be better
- Please, create the favorite instances links, custom made, that i can create for myself (for those servers that i check the most)
- Create RDP button, so i can connect to the instance from the monitoring page

Must have network tools.
We currently have this installed on our network engineers 'Jumpbox,' server that is centrally located for all to use. This allows anyone to login and utilize the software to troubleshoot a vast array of issues, or even to simulate issues for proof of concept testing. With so many tools in the toolset, it is a troubleshooter's best friend.
- Network Stress Tests.
- Port mapping.
- Open port checking.
- MIB walking.
- CPU/Memory monitoring.
- User interface feels dated.
