"We have found the solution to be stable."
"The most valuable feature is the network-related reporting."
"The application monitoring is the solution's most valuable feature."
"Flexibility in the two view dashboard helps viewers and admins get the information they need about the fetwork in a flash."
"The solution is easy to deploy. It's also easy to manage and monitor the environment. Instead of being reactive, it's proactive."
"Device monitoring is a good tool of this solution."
"With just three modules, I can monitor server performance (whether it’s a VM, in the cloud, or an on-premises server."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The ability to quickly identify downtime is the most valuable."
"SolarWinds dashboard is very fast. Also, their interface is very good, it looks very user-friendly. The product allows me to see a summary of the network being monitored at a glance."
"The ability to customize the views and dashboards is nice. SolarWinds also allows us to access the data via the API. That's probably the feature I liked the most."
"The SolarWinds NPM framework, upon which most of their flagship products are built, empowers a wide variety of admins and users to quickly find value in their installed products."
"We can proactively fix historical issues, so we won't face those problems in future."
"The connectivity of the solution is very good."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."

"With regard to configurations, however, it would be nice to have more documentation on SNMP configurations. For example, if I want to add a new vendor, it would be great if ManageEngine provided the requirements for that vendor, such as the commands needed."
"The storage level monitoring needs improvement. It needs storage level monitoring on the server itself. That feature is lacking right now."
"This product is little bit slow sometimes. It may be that we need to change the configuration to improve performance."
"There needs to be improvements to make the solution capable of supporting more devices, and it would be good to see an option for automatic deployment."
"OpManager is slow but that just might be the server we have it on. I don't think that's the problem but I don't do the server. But it is slow. When you're interacting with it, it could be more nimble and could be faster."
"The dashboard has some limitations and should be more user-friendly."
"ManageEngine OpManager could improve by having a better cloud presence."
"One of the challenges with SolarWinds is that in order to pull the data, we have to have a lot of false positives."
"It would be good to have high security."
"If they did some type of synthetic monitoring, it would have been better."
"Time: A worldwide deployment can be confusing for dispersed users with non-local times. Each node should have a local time (with summer offset if appropriate) & each user should view & report in their local time."
"It is not that stable. As a Windows software, I have seen issues with SolarWinds. The performance is slow."
"SolarWinds NPM could improve by adding the deepest inspection, performance networking, and IP address discovery."
"Robustness of network element mapping tool could be better"
"The solution's customer service is not very good because the support takes too long."
