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.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have a issue with the product, it does everything it's expected to do, and constantly comes out with new functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a managed service provider, NPM allows us to monitor our customers network 24/7
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 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

NPM review
What do you like best about the product?
NPM is an excellent monitoring tool for any size network. Whilst it is easy for anyone to use, it is very powerful in the information it supplies. Both in graphical and report formats.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't dislike anything about it. The product does everything it says it will do straight out of the box. And the fact that it's easy to use, makes getting information and alerting out of it a breeze.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Any network problems can easily be picked up by using NPM. Everything that's being logged, can be alerted or reported on.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The ease of this product make installation a breeze. In next to no time will you have usable data to report or alert on.
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...)

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
Solarwinds Networ Performance Monitor Review

What do you dislike about the product?
