Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor
We use it for our school district. It is used by our IT department. It helps us find issues with switches and any server connectivity issues, from bandwidth to other issues causing slowness.
- The up and down feature is great. Sometimes we missed the things it points out.
- CPU usage information on the virtual systems we use is critical.
- We like the network discovery feature, it does an awesome job.
- Storage resource helps a lot.
- Netflow Traffic Analyzer could really use an upgrade, such as including the ability to do Layer 3 flows not just Layer 2.
- Better job in the update department
- IP address manager takes too long to discover. I use a standalone IP address manager and it works better than the one in the suite.
- SolarWinds has had a positive impact for us since we have never had a tool like this. It has been an eye-opener to things we do not normally see.
- It has helped us improve our datacenter and overall network infrastructure.
- Productivity has gone up by helping us improve our server department, from application issues to hardware performance in our virtual environment.
SolarWinds is better and has more features. Regular updates and support have been excellent when we need them. SolarWinds is easier with more options to configure or change, with better results.
