Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor (NPM)
We mainly use SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor to have a visibility on the load of our servers and network bandwidth. We use it to monitor all of our network devices and servers across all of our 4 sites. SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor helps us to know if anything goes wrong within the environment. Also, the alerts feature adds a great value for us to handle the problem quickly. For example, when a critical server CPU utilization goes high, we get an immediate alert to check the issue. Another example is that when VPN connection is lost to a remote site, we instantly receive an alert that the remote router is down so we can act fast to get the service back.
Pros
- Pre-stack live monitoring
- EMA alerts feature
- History timelines for each sensor
Cons
- Web portal is sometimes slow
- Reporting is difficult and not intuitive
- SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor has saved us many times, but I do not have an ROI measurement yet.
I recommend SolarWinds because it has accomplished all that I want from the technical perspective as a network engineer based on the trial version that I have evaluated. Second thing is that our management has chosen SolarWinds because it has a perpetual license.
