Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Network Configuration Manager

The primary use of Network configuration manager is to backup config for all of our Cisco routers and switches. In addition, we monitor changes to those configurations as well.
  • Back up network device configurations.
  • Monitor changes to the network device configuration.
  • Deploy firmware updates across multiple network devices via scripting.
  • IOS vulnerability scanning not as up to date as our Tenable vulnerability findings.
  • CLI Scripting lacks the ability to interrogate variables.
  • The time savings to manage devices has been the greatest value to our operations support team. Has reduced our technical debt consideration in hours.
SolarWinds Network Configuration Manager provides better discovery and integration of our Cisco devices.
When managing dozens of varieties of switch models, the product handles the variety well. In addition, when multiple sites are involved the product works well at pushing updates.
