Recommendations to others considering the product:

An easy way to monitor servers
What do you like best about the product?
SAM gives you the peace of mind you need when looking after the performance, health and statistics of the servers you manage. With built in templates it makes it easy to get up and running in no time. It gives you insights and information you really need on a day to day basis.
What do you dislike about the product?
SAM isn't cheap and can lack features if only used by itself. The way it integrates with the other Solarwinds modules is very good but isn't the cheapest option.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Rather than checking and monitoring servers manually it helps us get on with other tasks, saving us time. It also draws to our attention potential problems that we can snuff out before they turn into anything more serious.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for good serve monitoring then SAM is a great product. With the WMI support, you can see detailed information about your servers, which before wouldn' have been clear.
The Goodness of NPM

How NPM ease up the monitoring experience in IT operations like in our company.
What do you dislike about the product?
Actually there is none to dislike. NPM just needs more loving
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
WAN connections and servers. Being proactive benefits the organization
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Solarwinds NPM is a great tool to have especially for monitoring. This helps a lot detecting issues before it occurs and avoiding any problems.
Perfect for monitoring traffic and devices
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to use, and perfect for monitoring traffic and devices that may go down. If we start to get an influx of calls, Solarwinds is the first thing I turn to, to see if we have any devices that may be down and affecting our network.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing so far. I only use it when needed in my position, but it provides the info that I need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can see what is eating up our bandwidth and when devices are down, which helps me gather more info before someone in a higher position ca confirm what is happening.
SolarWinds NPM Review
What do you like best about the product?
Great product for monitoring multiple vendor IT networks. Scale-able, affordable, quick and easy to setup. SQL Data structure means you can get under the hood for alerting and reporting purposes.
What do you dislike about the product?
A lack of security on the newer UI elements and other modules (Netpath) in the Orion suite of tools. This can be mitigated if very carefully setup and controlled by experienced professionals. Therefor not making it suitable for most MSP Providers. Development priority can sometimes be given to future growth areas rather then fixing the base problems with the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
flexible API means Solarwinds can be truly integrated into other business process applications. This means end to end automation is possible for adding, modifying and removing devices from the platform.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Experienced staff to run the platform to get the most out of it. Database Administrator to make the performance as good as it can be
NPM Review
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility of the product is 1st class and allows you add any product you like and if certain stats aren't supported out the box you can create your own pollers for those stats.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be slow at times even with the hardware sized correctly. Fixing bugs and niggles in the product rather than continually bringing out new versions with super new functionality would be good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its allowed us to have full visibility of our network and the ability to view historical data with alerting so rather than always waiting for a user to call with an issue we can be much more proactive with faults.
Solarwinds NPM is a very helpful and useful tool
What do you like best about the product?
The web console, and how things are displayed for quick and easy review
What do you dislike about the product?
The Licensing method is somewhat frustrating and the price was a bit high
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
NPM proved useful in detecting several problems at one of our remote locations, that we were not aware of.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Seems to work much better than other tools that I have used
Awesome tool for monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
Solarwinds is very powerful tool to provide all relevant information as it gives CPU memory disk blocking, ling running queries. We also used it's customized version DPA.
What do you dislike about the product?
I didn't found any flaws yet. It has everything we need, it would be best if task manager details could be added to this system
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Past activity to perform RCA, even I use to identify unused databases, blockings etc
Great monitoring softeare
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to use, gives good details on the servers
What do you dislike about the product?
Could use more server watching details.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Needing to be notified when a server is not working
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.
