You're going to want to monitor your network
What do you like best about the product?
Solarwinds gives us the ability to track all our network nodes, go back in time and assists in finding out what is causing a network bottleneck. there are a ton of features that come out of the box and has the ability to get customized to your hearts content. it has built in support for tracking wireless controllers other appliances. really great community on Thwack, you can get almost everything you want if you look hard enough.. but it may just take time to implement :)
What do you dislike about the product?
Some things don't really work the way you expect them to.. like the Poll now button.. running some jobs can really take a while. sometimes the page loads very slowly and i have noticed that if a page requests too many resources it can affect the experience of other users as well. other than the occasional service stopping, it seems to be reliable.
the technical support hold music is also pretty bland

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can make reports detailing circuit utilization over time, this gives us the necessary justification for upgrading. it has pretty decent reports for inventory and firmware versions. you can also make reports with SQL.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
be ready to spend time troubleshooting : )
it's good to have people that are already experienced with the tool, as it can be a little bit overwhelming to someone who hasn't used it. You also may want to spend time with your users and ask them what they want to see in dashboards.

NPM and Orion are great I've been using for over 10 years
What do you like best about the product?
NPM makes it really easy to add / monitor / and alert on all things in your network.
What do you dislike about the product?
Upgrades were sometimes difficult in the past but that has been remedied with the single offline installer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It puts everything network in one place to see the status of our entire infrastructure.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want easy to use software that's reasonably priced for monitoring your network NPM is it.
NPM -
What do you like best about the product?
NPM primary role is to monitor our store links to both onsite and cloud based systems. We utilize net path and net-flow data to maintaining our links and can easy identify and issues that may happen
What do you dislike about the product?
Be careful, licenses can get used up quickly if you're not careful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to quickly and simply identify broken internet paths and link utilization issues with NPM. It is also good for planning
Easy to use for non-network administrators
What do you like best about the product?
NPM provides insight into the network without being a network administrator. It is a easy to setup and maintain and provides data that would not typically be seen if you don't have the technical skills to get to that data.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing I don't like about NPM. The only thing I wish Solarwinds did would be to include the services of NetFlow into NPM for a single lower price.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using NPM allows us to easily see the network performance of all devices on our network. We can use the data to see how much data is being pushed from our IIS servers or how much data a user is pulling from our filers. NPM also shows the performance of our Cisco switches which includes the network usage on each port, CPU usage for the switch, and also the health of the switches. NPM makes it easy for a non-network administrator to view all this data that would have never been seen otherwise.
The NPM NetPath service is also great to get an idea of connections speeds across your network. With complicated networks it would provide a deep look on how your network traffic is routed. You can also use NetPath to let you know if a service users connects to goes down (i.e IIS services, Facebook, etc...)

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Works great alone, but it works even better with the rest of the SolarWinds products to give you overall view of performance of your systems

What do you dislike about the product?
the licensing is node based, and gets used up quickly,
it needs to be more flexible.
it needs to be more flexible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we have achieved business problems like Network Monitoring, effective troubleshooting, monitoring remote systems with the help of windows and linux agents, sending alerts , insights within the network and detailed analysis of the network, network path maps for better visualization.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Kindly consider to calculate the nodes that you want to add before hand to decide on the licenses .
you can still easily remove nodes if you find that you don't have enough licenses. however make a list of all that you want to include in the tool, calculate the nodes as per reference. this might help you handle your licenses in a better way.

Always NPM!
What do you like best about the product?
It's intuitive and immediately puts you in control of your network. I've been using Solarwinds products for nearly 10 years now and have seen many improvements. The support community is great and the suite of products is always evolving.
What do you dislike about the product?
Network Atlas - despite all the general NPM improvements, sadly this never seems to evolve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When I first joined my current organisation, we were pretty much 'blind' on a monitoring front. Within a month of setting up NPM we immediately had perspective. Combine NPM with NCM & NTA and you're onto a winner!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Request a trial and get involved with the Thwack! community.
Excellent visibility into network performance
What do you like best about the product?
Easy setup, intuitive interface, highly customisable
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a little bit pricey for what it is

Definitely give it a trial - 30 day full feature trial available from their website.
Great monitoring tool
What do you like best about the product?

The menu to the tabs changed, I am not a big fan on that.

Being able to monitor my network devices
