Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Network Configuration Manager

We use it mainly as a configuration backup tool for all of our routers, switches, and firewalls. It addresses the issues of being able to provide a replacement device in case of failure.

Pros

  • It is a great tool for configuration backup and archive.
  • It can be utilized as a configuration push tool when standard configurations need to be deployed in the enterprise.

Cons

  • I do not see any shortfalls at this time, as we use it for its advertised purpose.
  • For the purpose we use it, ROI can be measured by the amount of time it would typically take to restore connectivity to our retail locations when a device is down.
We have used NETMRI for configuration management and automation before. NCM gives you an easier management interface and better reporting.
We use it when equipment fails and we have to restore a backup to the replacement. It works well for keeping the running config current.
