We performed a comparison between DX NetOps and SolarWinds NPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"It's good for root cause analysis for network problems and network link problems."
"The AI is the best feature in this solution."
"It is straightforward to configure, and you can quickly gather data from your infrastructure."
"I like that it provides an overall view of our network. From the topology view to every event, we can view it. We can also see the interface utilization for future capacity planning. It fits our use case and environment."
"The solution is stable."
"Network performance is the main issue clients are facing. SolarWinds checks if a node is down, and we can set thresholds for performance metrics. For example, we set it up to get an alert automatically if a value is over 80 percent. It has a full dashboard that covers CP, hard disk, and node monitoring."
"The most valuable features are language support and technical support."
"We found that it was easy to operate, and it was simple if anyone has entry-level working experience or even if someone is not experienced."
"As we look to add more servers to our virtual environment and to understand the impact, the solution allows us to dig into the historical charts related to capacity planning."
"Being able to easily, and quickly obtain disc space statistics from servers and determine how much was free or used on various volumes."
"We can proactively fix historical issues, so we won't face those problems in future."
"You can monitor performance counters effortlessly."
"All the features are very good. The monitoring of the equipment, the configuration manager, and the IP address monitoring are great."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"One improvement that could make the product better is to streamline its modules into a more cohesive solution."
"Lacks dashboards and better integration with other solutions."
"Technical support could be more responsive."
"Technical support needs to be better. They need to be more knowledgeable and responsive."
"It would be better if they had an NFA network analysis feature. We appreciate features like extended network security for bucket flows, but it would be better to have some IDs, IPS functionalities, DDoS, or something like that."
"I would like to see integration with antivirus or other security endpoint solutions."
"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."
"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 tool can only monitor up to 1000 instances in a single SolarWinds console. Customers may have over 1000 instances. Hence, it needs to support a minimum of 1500 instances. It should also improve support."
"The product is scalable, but at a cost. Extra modules have to be purchased for each extra server. The initial set up isn't complex, but will require someone who is experienced with the network monitoring system"
"It has covered everything, so no improvement is required at their end. The only thing is the price."
"It would be nice if SolarWinds could have a polling engine on the site that would collect the reporting and then manage everything itself."
"A feature I would ask for is for them to have this solution available for Linux systems instead of Windows."
