"Has really nice roll-up dashboards."
"The tool for forecasting capacity is valuable."
"Mobile application is the most valuable feature for us. We can monitor all the storages on our phones. It's really good."
"Fewer vulnerabilities have been observed in the four years we have used the solution."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its graphical interface and reports."
"We have configured multiple alerts for our network devices, including routers and switches, so that we are notified if any interface goes down."
"The interface is user-friendly, making it easy to use."

"A product that is well-tested and trusted in demanding situations."

"It combines and presents information from many different sources, giving a corporate-wide vision on a single pane of glass."
"Supporting legacy systems is an area that can be improved."
"Doesn't do well in terms of integrating with technologies other than Dell."
"The reporting capabilities of this solution could be improved."

"If they could combine everything into one product, that would be very helpful."
"It is not that stable. As a Windows software, I have seen issues with SolarWinds. The performance is slow."
"SolarWinds NPM can be very slow at times. The database optimization can be done to improve the product performance."
"The solution could be more secure."
"Technical support can be slow to respond."
"The dashboards for this solution could be improved. We would like to divide the dashboards to give a clear view to our management team to show what we have and what deficiencies exist in our network."
