Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Network Configuration Manager

We use it to manage a wide range of infrastructure services, from routers, firewalls, and UPSs to Windows, Linux and virtual server hosting hardware. Also, SAN networks and devices.

Pros

  • Monitoring health levels of disparate technology.
  • Configuring a wide array of equipment.
  • Providing default and customized views of the status of all of your systems.
  • Cost-effective and very fairly priced.

Cons

  • Could provide even easier customization of reports and user interfaces.
  • Continue to advance in rolling out updates to devices including APIs to allow the use of Ansible and other standard automation capabilities.
  • Continue to widen the number of devices supported.
  • The backup and roll out of configurations to all of our Cisco, Fortinet and Windows server products has been great.
  • The ease at which we can compare configurations and make changes to update all devices.
  • Helping us limit staff hours and costs while keeping on top of the status of every part of our IT systems.
  • BMC Helix Configuration Management Database (CMDB), Symantec Asset Management Suite, Bitdefender Network Traffic Security Analytics and CA Unicenter Network and Systems Management (Discontinued)
Solarwinds has a broader range and a lower price point. So it allows us to monitor and configure more at less cost than other solutions.
You need to monitor a very wide range of network and server technologies and equipment.
You're existing tools are strong in configuration but weak in management and reporting. You need cost-effective overall views of the health of your equipment and services.
