Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor

It is being used by IT to monitor network asset performance and availabaility.
  • Great high performance SNMP poller.
  • Integration with NTA and NCM is invaluable.
  • Support for WMI.
  • Web UI is incredibly antiquated.
  • Different to compare information across data sources.
  • Increased IT efficiency
By itself, I do not think I would recommend SolarWinds Network Performance Manager, as open source and/or cheaper pollers that are just as flexible exist; however when integrating with the rest of the stack is when I would recommend this.
