Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Network Configuration Manager

We are using SolarWinds Network Configuration Manager within our organization to manage thousands of Cisco, Juniper and checkpoint switches, routers and firewalls across of company between the USA and CAN. We particularly use it to save changes of IOS and config changes and we have to leak upon the use of the configs saved to rescue us when our equipment fails from weather or environmental issues. We also use this product extensively to push config changes and adds/subtracts in bulk, rather than touch these thousands of switches and routers one at a time. This product saves much time and headaches and is great to save the day when equipment fails unexpectedly.
  • Automatic IOS config backups.
  • Bulk IOS changes for adds/subtracts in a Cisco environment.
  • Peace of mind that you have a good config in equipment failures.
  • We always have speed issues, not sure if that is out issue or it is a SolarWinds interface issue.
  • Since I do not purchase, I cannot really speak to this. I do know that we have used this tool for more than 5 years and we don't plan to change.
At a previous company, we have used this Dameware tool a while back, but we don't use any more of the SolarWinds tools here at the mining company.
Monitoring of large amounts of equipment with an overall view of your infrastructure in a glance. Also, you can rest assured that your IOS stuff with be safe and backed up when needed. This has saved us more than once, almost weekly during summer months when the lightning and weather are at its worst around here.
