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.
I believe integrating AI features would benefit SolarWinds Network Device Monitor in the future. My advice to those considering this software is positive - it's user-friendly, customizable, and provides valuable data tools. Overall, I would rate SolarWinds Network Device Monitor a nine out of ten.
Setting up device monitoring for specific device tracking is an easy process. Adding new devices and new nodes to the system is quite easy. Users experience lag when they grow their networks because the dashboarding part becomes complex. After a certain point, the dashboard loses value when the network grows. My company has used the product for the past ten years, and we feel that we are capable of using it to get results. If you know how to navigate, the product is good. Once your network grows in size, it becomes cumbersome to have a proper dashboard. The alerting system helped mitigate network issues, and the product can resolve issues and vulnerabilities. If my company raises a query with the product's support team, they quickly resolve such problems. The tool's technical team is capable and ready to jump on a call and resolve any issues related to the product. I faced no challenges when integrating SolarWinds Network Device Monitor into our company's IT infrastructure. It is easy to use the integration capabilities of the product. I recommend the product for plain network monitoring purposes. I rate the tool a seven to seven and a half out of ten.
We are using the latest version of the solution. I did not deploy the solution. I am monitoring it. I am not part of the procurement team. I would recommend the product to others because it is stable. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Overall, the solution is pretty good. The user interface is elaborate but a bit complex. I rate the solution an eight out of ten. I would provide a higher rating but the original configuration did not include all features so that has caused a lag in workflow.

My advice to others would be first to find the specific models in order to receive the correct solution. If you agree with the customer that you will manage the iPad, you have to consider the iPad model. You have to be very clear and very specific on the scope of the monitoring. I rate SolarWinds Network Device Monitor an eight out of ten.

I have partners in the electrical industry and my recommendation to them is always to go with either SolarWinds or PRTG when it comes to remote monitoring. Of course, it can be useful in other industries, too. It's very good software. I would rate SolarWinds Network Device Monitor a nine out of ten.
We use both on-premises and cloud deployment models. I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. I would recommend the solution to other users and organizations.

My advice for anybody who is implementing this tool is to have a dedicated resource for it. It has to be maintained, and it takes time and resources to get the best out of it. Overall, this is a good product. That said, no solution is perfect. I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.
Network Device Monitor is a free tool that makes it easy to monitor the real-time performance and health of a single device on your network with a desktop dashboard that alerts you when your device is in trouble.
