Central monitoring has improved outage alerts and now needs smarter detection and modern dashboards
Regarding the automated network topology and mapping feature in SolarWinds NPM, I am not satisfied with it. For static monitoring, it is acceptable. However, if it is possible, I would need a feature in SolarWinds in the future for some kind of malfunctioning detection, such as malware attacks or that type of environment. We did not have any facility to detect that in SolarWinds. I think it would be better to incorporate those types of features. Regarding customization options in SolarWinds, the ability to customize the dashboard has room for improvement. The dashboard is quite old, and we need some improvement in it. Nowadays, we have multiple tools with AI-based monitoring and web-based dashboards. SolarWinds also has a web-based dashboard, but I think there is scope for improvement in the UI. There may be other areas I would like to improve in SolarWinds NPM.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"SolarWinds' network and server application monitoring features are strong."
"We have configured multiple alerts for our network devices, including routers and switches, so that we are notified if any interface goes down."
"It did a good job of the collection and then an investigation of the net flow of information for understanding the applications that were being used at certain locations."
"The initial setup was straightforward. We deployed the solution from new and completed the upgrades."
"We used it 24/7 and it had a great ROI."
"SolarWinds is user-friendly with a manageable console."
"This solution provides one standardized platform for network device monitoring."
"With SolarWinds, everything just works."
"The Tintri product line as a whole has freed up a lot of resources from constant administration of legacy enterprise storage."
 

Cons

"The stability when multiple modules are added could be addressed. We have the need to restart the monitoring solution on a weekly basis as we've combined NPM with a variety of other SolarWinds utilities."
"There were some version releases that had stability issues but the support team was very good at letting us know what we needed to do to fix the issues."
"The only thing I don’t like is that NTA license size is tied to NPM’s license size, since my organization's need for NTA is lower than our need for NPM."
"This solution would benefit from expanding on the capabilities within the API."
"The only other issue I have is that sometimes when upgrading, it becomes complicated to manage the upgrade."
"If they did some type of synthetic monitoring, it would have been better."
"The solution is expensive and may not be very affordable for startups or smaller companies."
"I think Solar Winds NPM needs to create a profile with documentation responsibility."
"A better Tintri would be a "cheaper" one to get things started again."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is more expensive than some other products, such as ManageEngine."
"SolarWinds NPM has different pricing models available. The cost of the solution is less than some competitors."
"I believe the original setup cost was around $3500 with an annual cost of around $1200-$1500 to renew the support license. This would bring the average day-to-day cost of around $5-$6 over three years."
"The cost is based on the number of nodes, so it is expensive when you have a lot of them."
"There's standard licensing, and then it depends on the size of the customer."
"The solution can become very expensive and commercially not viable in countries, such as India."
"The pricing is in the middle. It's not particularly cost-effective, but it's not overly expensive either."
"Some solutions are open source and free."

Nagios vs. Zabbix vs. PRTG vs. Spiceworks vs. Solarwinds Network Performance Monitor
I have researched a quite a few network monitoring tools which can be used for various monitoring purposes of not only the servers, but the intermediate routers as well. There are majorly three types of these softwares. Ones which are completely open-source, you can do almost anything you want…
