Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Network Configuration Manager

We are using it to monitor and mange configurations of different switches and routers from different vendors. Our network is diverse and we need a configuration and monitoring tool to let us know in case of any network failure and which component has failed. Currently we are using so and so v3 to monitor the network.
  • Ease of use
  • Reliability
  • Compilation of Data
  • Centralized location for all configurations
  • Ease of management
  • Collecting data
  • Addition of new nodes
  • Security of the node management
  • Over 10000 in inventory and storage cost
  • Over $5000 in management cost
  • Over $20000 in organizational cost
It is working very well so far, but we need stronger support.
Mostly for network configuration the SolarWinds really work well it can help manage the complex configurations but we need to make sure that the data is stored as a encrypted file not as a text filed specially for configurations such as firewall and core routes that have key configurations the best practice is to have multilayer encryptions and password for each file.
