Additionally, several users noted that the software offers detailed information provided in a variety of formats that work best for different groups.
Immediate notification alerts: Many users appreciated the immediate notification alerts provided by the SolarWinds Network Topology Mapper when connectivity or usage thresholds are exceeded, which allows them to respond quickly to issues as they arise. Several reviewers specifically noted this feature and how helpful it has been in their day-to-day operations.
Slow initial scan: Some users have reported that the first scan in large-scale environments can take a lot of time, leading to frustration and delays.
Limited functionality: Several reviewers mentioned that the SolarWinds Network Topology Mapper is lacking in functionality and requires constant care in a very large environment. This can make it difficult for users who need more advanced features or want to streamline their workflow.
Outdated software: Many customers are disappointed that the product has not been updated for years, with no plans for future updates. This lack of support can be problematic for those looking for the latest technology and may cause them to seek out other options.
