Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor
We use SolarWinds to monitor key points on our network. My department is the only one that uses it, but we are monitoring the entire network. SolarWinds helps us identify potential issues on the network, be it unusual traffic on a specific switch or even an individual port on a switch that has an issue. We are using it as a dashboard to be able to identify the performance at key point on the network.
- SolarWinds lets you tailor what you see, but lets you delve further if necessary.
- Solarwinds allows you to tailor itself to your needs for monitoring.
- It communicates with network devices using industry standard protocols.
- Because it can do so much, Solarwinds can be intimidating to get started with. Offering more "canned" viewing screens would be helpful.
- We have been able to monitor and analyze our network to assure users can do virtually anything they need to do on our network, both now and in the foreseeable future.
SolarWinds delves so much deeper into your network and its performance than WhatsUp does. WhatsUp is simpler to setup a simple dashboard screen on, but Solarwinds can analyze your network traffic and switches down to the port.
