Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor (NPM)

SolarWinds NPM is used by our IT department to monitor network performance and track outages and network congestion. It is an essential part of our organization's network management system. SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor allows me to see the network as a whole as well as look at specific parts to diagnose issues and troubleshoot outages.
  • Comprehensive alert system
  • Wide range of supported network gear
  • Ability so save and push configuration files
  • Can't turn off events
  • Hard to find accurate help
SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor is ideal for monitoring network performance. I know that seems obvious, but it does exactly what it is designed to do and that is a good thing (and unfortunately somewhat rare). The tools are fairly simple to use. The reports show good data in a useful way.
