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.

For me its setting up the graphics/charts and pulling up the statistics for certain items.

NPM to monitor customer networks
What do you like best about the product?
What i like best is that NPM can give you a snap shot of your entire network, from networking equipment to servers. Giving you the tools the troubleshoot and fix just about any issue. It can be a performance issue, or it could be a a bottle neck someplace on your network.

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.
