"This solution offers a very good view of our network and allows us to effectively monitor performance."
"What I've found most valuable about the solution is that it's scalable."

"Can easily be interconnected with other management systems."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

"I would like to see some enhancement on the reporting side, such as making it a little bit easier to create reports or having a larger assortment of canned reports."
"This product could improve by adding cloud monitoring. I want SolarWinds NPM to do much more integration, and have more involvement in cloud monitoring, like AWS or Google, or Azure. I feel like it requires lots of improvement for cloud monitoring in NPM."
"The only real caveat that we have or that I have an issue with is when I go on vacation, it's a little hard for me to go and modify alerts so that I don't get alerted about things when I'm on vacation."

"SolarWinds NPM needs to increase its elements. One polling engine can only support 10,000 elements then it becomes slow. There are limitations even if you have the full SLX version license."
"The integration needs to be improved."
"If they did some type of synthetic monitoring, it would have been better."
