Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor

We use it to monitor network equipment and servers throughout the whole school district. It lets us easily see outages and heavy load issues. And it was recently set up to monitor certain stations used by security personnel to make sure they are up and running.
  • Notification of equipment down before the user usually even notices there is a problem.
  • Insight into processor and memory loads on equipment to allow adjustments before failure.
  • Better tools to clean up database bloat.
  • We have been able to respond quicker and more detailed to problems when they arise.
In larger environments it is a must. No way you could manually do what SolarWinds does for you.
