Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor (NPM)

We initially used SolarWinds for our network infrastructure, but due to the shrinking of IT budgets, server infrastructure was also added in the scope. Now, we are able to monitor servers every hour of every day without needing to have a dedicated agent installed.
  • Custom dashboards
  • Good for a network using SNMP/SNMPv2.
  • Alerts and monitoring
  • Dashboards require dedicated time to setup.
  • Not easy for new applications.
  • Replace your existing monitoring with SolarWinds as a single enterprise tool for infrastructure monitoring.
  • The tool is easy to work and it doesn't require specialized skills.
SolarWinds licenses cost less when we compared the tool to CA Nimsoft.
It is a great product that can monitor 24hrs a day. The tool provides historical data to see the trends and is good for troubleshooting.

Feature Questions
