Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Network Configuration Manager

We use SolarWinds NCM to collect configurations of devices, hardware inventory, OS version management, and push config changes on a global basis.
  • Collects configs.
  • Push small changes.
  • Very poor integration with Juniper gear.
  • Lack of certificate-based authentication from NCM to clients.
  • Vulnerability versus OS versions. The product only uses the highest numbers (e.g. 12.2) not the more specific (12.2(10)Se3) which is often required for use.
  • when it works it makes inventory reports a snap. When it works. Some parts of some equipment it just doesn't do right.
Good for mid-size IT shops with significant homogeneity and Cisco. Not as good with other network providers.
