Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Network Configuration Manager

We use NCM by SolarWinds to back up our configurations, inventory hardware, and create change reports to watch for unauthorized changes and/or in troubleshooting to help find things that recently changed if an outage occurs.
  • Regular Configuration Backups.
  • Configuration Change Reports.
  • Hardware and Health Inventory.
  • Updated GUI.
  • Better integration with third parties such as Cisco -- they're working on it, but it's not quite ready.
  • NCM has eliminated homemade scripts for the backup of device configurations.
  • Policy reports allow for finding areas to improve our configuration settings for hardening images.
I've used other products like Nagios and other open source tools. NCM is a much better enterprise-ready solution, and the support they provide (US-Based, by the way), is top-notch.
I highly recommend NCM if you don't have a way to centrally manage your networking environment, or if you need a way to keep track of changes made to your device configs.
