Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor

We use NPM in our infrastructure department for support and project planning. It helps with bandwidth management and identifying the source of saturated link usage.
  • Dynamic network topology mapping works well
  • Flexible monitoring and alerting capabilities
  • Very detailled networking statistics
  • If topology mapping could be customised for some specific cases, that would be perfect
  • The alerting system is very stable and reliable. It allows us to capture every issue before or as they occur and act immediately. We get a faster return to operations with the help of this tool.
The community and end-user support are much better with SolarWinds. We also had issues with ManageEngine updates where they would send us custom packages with dll to replace and they couldn't keep up with which build they were running.
It's suitable for a big environment. I wouldn't see this used in a small network.
