The reporting feature needs improvement because we are unable to configure reports that were included during initial implementation. We are aware of features that allow report customization a monthly basis or other duration, but don't often have access to these options. For example, a filter of interfaces or ATM nodes that have been down for a month does not include all events in the report. We would like to change the report's filters to a very segregated level but cannot because we lack access to the original report. The data is in the system but we are unable to pull it because reporting is not integrated and versatile. It seems only the engineer who filtered the original report had configuration options.

I have some suggestions for improving the SolarWinds Network Device Monitor. First, consider enhancing the visual appeal of the graphs. You could include options for different types of graphs, such as network bandwidth, and add a scanning feature. By entering an IP address, SolarWinds could retrieve comprehensive information about the device, including the MAC address, device name, and image. Additionally, expanding the range of graphs available in SolarWinds would be beneficial, particularly for bandwidth monitoring. Implementing a notification system that sends alerts via email when a device goes down would also be valuable. Lastly, ensuring that SolarWinds remains lightweight could help organizations with less powerful machines, making the software more accessible. Overall, I rate the solution a six out of ten.

Key learnings from peers

Valuable Features

"You can create an attractive dashboard and create a hierarchy."
"There are vital features of auto-plugin core ports"
"The alerting functionality in SolarWinds Network Device Monitor helps us stay informed during off-hours by sending alerts if our main links or devices are impacted, allowing us to quickly address any issues."

Room for Improvement

"It should provide user-friendly page"
"The solution should have AI-powered issue-resolving capabilities"
"It would be beneficial if SolarWinds Network Device Monitor could provide a feature to monitor CRC errors specifically on individual interfaces rather than the entire device. This would help in detecting intermittent issues and packet drops on main links more accurately, especially when there are CRC errors. It's important for us to be aware of these issues to avoid any voice quality problems or interruptions on our MTS links."

Pricing

"I find the cost of SolarWinds Network Device Monitor reasonable for our company. Though, I'm not aware of the exact licensing cost."
"I rate the product's price as three to three and a half or on a scale of one to ten, where one means low price, and ten means high price."
