Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor

It is being used as a sole monitoring tool to keep an eye on all the network appliances in our infrastructure across the globe and it helps us push configurations and global changes and updates using all the various tools. Reporting and configuration management is also another thing we use this for.
  • Alerting.
  • Monitoring.
  • Configuration management.
  • Log of glitches in the software.
  • Slower interface.
  • Problems with polling engine now and then.
  • Ease of monitoring.
  • Better management across the globe.
  • Configuration consistency analysis.
BMC, CA tools are its competitors for sure.
Well suited areas for SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor would definitely be for a client who has a lot of geographical presence. Also when the number of devices to be managed is fairly high and requires a dashboard and an overview of the entire network.

It is not suited for small networks.
