Expensive licensing model but if you have the right mix of supported elements in your environment , the setup is really easy and the customized views per applications are great
Amazing product that has saved me countless hours of manual configuration
What do you like best about the product?
NCM includes baseline checks that allow me to make sure that all new switch/router configs meet at least a baseline level of security configuration. This allows me to provide just a quick baseline check to our yearly auditors instead of lines and lines of code proving we have met guidelines.
What do you dislike about the product?
Last time I tried to use the firmware upgrade feature it could not handle firmware larger than 100mb, this is almost all cisco firmware at this point, so I had to manually update. To be fair I have not tried in the latest hotfix patch.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The best problem we have been able to mitigate it auditor compliance. Solarwinds has built into NCM audit checks for HIPPA,NIST, PCI, SOX and more out of the box. They also allow you to build your own compliance reports for your industry. Again, this has saved countless hours during audits.

Insight Into Our Devices That We Didn't Have Before
What do you like best about the product?
The fact that I know exactly what's going on with my network devices. I have backups of everything, so there's not question of whether or not I have the config of my devices. It also lets me look at revisions to check to see if I'm noticing changes or something that might have "broken" something. It also helps me with audits. I can just handover my configs in one simple place instead of having to go and look at a 100 different places.
Lastly, it's nice to have it plugged into NPM. If you notice changes in the network either bandwidth issues, bottlenecks, or weird things, I can look at the network configs to do some correlation to see if a change caused these issues.

What do you dislike about the product?
The one thing I dislike is that some devices aren't pulled in or don't pull much of value. I haven't encountered a ton of things, but you'd hope that you could get 100 % of your network devices covered. I've had issues with some Fortinet equipment, but I was able to get most resolved. Some things are somewhat manual, so it's not always 100% automatic as you might expect.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I now have backups/configs of almost all my network devices. In addition, it's allowed me to gain insight into changes that I didn't know were being made by my team. It allows you to see if your changes have impacted the network when using NPM. I didn't even realize how much easier it would be to pull network configs for our yearly security audit. I just went to the config manager tab and started pulling the configs with ease.
Piece of mind and a time saver
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy the ease of use and setup for Network Configuration Manager. It integrates well into the SolarWinds Orion Platform. If feels like it belongs there. To set it up, just monitor the device and add credentials for Network Configuration Manager. NCM will take care of backing up configurations of your device. It will show you differences in configurations from day to day. It will also so you potential security issues with your configuration which is a huge time saver when it comes to researching CVEs and best practices.
What do you dislike about the product?
The job and automation pieces are very powerful. It would be good to find ways to integrate other types of scripting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can perform many health checks of our devices by automating jobs to run every day. One particular case at this moment, we have a job the shows us the authentication successes for our NAC deployment. We don't have to go through logs on the NAC solution when all we have to do is refer to the NCM job results for a quick answer.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This software is as useful as the end user wants it to be. This can be as simple as set it and forget it. Another option is to take full advantage of the feature-sets and really embrace the functionality and flexibility of the job automation.
Excellent tool to allow review of any configuration changes
What do you like best about the product?
The tool seamlessly downloads our configs from our network devices every night allowing us to have backup copies to reference. In addition the emailed reports each day that highlight any config changes have been a huge help. It allows us piece of mind that config changes aren't taking place without our knowledge. The ability to push out config changes to many devices at once has saved a ton of time for our organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far we haven't found any issues with the product. It has been a huge help for us.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
NCM has saved us time managing configs and gives us piece of mind from the security aspect knowing there are no unauthorized changes taking place.
Monitor and Manage the whole organization network infrastructure
What do you like best about the product?
The SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor provides great support for, manage, monitor and identifies the issues of the whole network infrastructure easily. SolarWinds helps to map the whole network, and identify all the connected devices automatically. It allows users to map the unknown network infrastructure easily. SolarWinds helps monitor all the internal network traffics including branch networks as well, including bandwidth, network usage, connected devices, running services of the entire network, if having any network fault in the network it shows on the network map, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
SolarWinds provides great features and supports to manage the entire network easily, it visualizes the whole network on the administrator screen.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been using SolarWinds for more than four years, it makes us more comfortable to manage the network. We have to manage and monitor more than four computer labs in separate locations and few servers on-site. Before informing the lab responsible persons we get alerted what are the issues and how it happens on the network. We can get alerts via email alerts for the critical servers and we have configured it and if having any of the critical situations we get a notification with root course as well, then we allow to fix the issues easily.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
SolarWinds makes more comfortability with managing and monitors the network infrastructures.
