Monitoring Master Made Easy
What do you like best about the product?
The best part of NPM is the amount of customization and notification that can be done. The ability to either dive deep into services or routes or just see if the device is pinging is great. The notification settings that can be customized assists with the ability to separate the alerting to various groups within an organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
Setting up SNMP alerting is a bit harder than I first expected, but once the first few were figured out, it became easy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problems being solved were being notified of issues. Once I was able to get the snmp traps built and notifications set around those traps, things went very smoothly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The product is very well created and maintained. For the best results, one should be adequately already familiar with like products to set it up properly. That being said, the support team is superb at assisting every step of the way. The product is expensive but very well worth it.
NPM - always have an answer for your network monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
The best part of NPM or SolarWinds is its simple monitoring configuration for straightforward administration. It's an enterprise-level monitoring system that also integrates with other modules. It provides comprehensive information for monitoring and is very easy to implement. It starts monitoring from the moment it is implemented with all default configurations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, end users or non-admin users come to me and say that it's difficult to get reports or information in SolarWinds. From an end user's perspective, I can understand the frustration, as in other tools it's just one or two clicks away. However, in SolarWinds, I know it's an enterprise and powerful tool, and sometimes you need to drill down to get simple information.
Another aspect that is needed is topology, so end users can visualize the monitoring system and understand at a glance what is wrong and where the issue is.
I think the dashboard is a place where, if we have an automated topology kind of dashboard or a single pane of dashboard, it would look great.
The newly added NetPath service is great, but sometimes I get requests to have a point-to-point path, meaning from one IP to another IP.
On the network overview, it only has monitored interfaces, but if it included all interfaces, it would be easier to choose what to monitor.

I like that I'm able to monitor all my switches in one location. I am able to setup alerts or quickly view issues when I login.

For me its setting up the graphics/charts and pulling up the statistics for certain items.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
