What's Happening in the Network?
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to drill down from a summary page into a problem to find the device or interface that is in need of attention. Once the situation is found and fixed, you can use SolarWinds NPM to confirm the problem is resolved.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes a bit of getting used to when you have never used it. The interfaces are a bit spartan but we don't use for its good looks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have baselined our entire network with SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor. Now we use it to establish trends and detect anomalies. We have plenty of history saved to be able to compare against when troubleshooting issues.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you have someone dedicated to the task, not just a part timer, with some serious SNMP experience for the greatest effect. If you don't have a good installer, the experience may be sub-optimal. Like any large scale, extensible product, you will need someone to care for and monitor it periodically.

Configuring and getting everything the way you want it, takes awhile.

NPM is good for our needs
What do you like best about the product?
NPM allows us to monitor our network and resolve issues sometimes before our users even detect a problem.

The need to manual load balancing of pollers. It would be nice to able to have one virtual poller and have all the individual pollers automatically balanced.

Network Monitoring, tool to help obtain root cause, and determine if an issue is resolved.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the thwack message boards frequently.
Network Performance Monitor (Solarwinds Orion)
What do you like best about the product?
I've been using this product for over 15 years at 3 different jobs. the tunability of alerting, the suppoer of the Solarwinds technical staff, and the ability to create dashboards for the C-level has been wonderful to deal with.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not really anything, maybe that the database SQL and you need SQL knowledge to create some of the queries; I just didn't have that knowledge in the beginning.

Keeping 24x7x365 sites up that way, so I know there is a problem before the users typically know.
What a change to how we manage the use of our environment.
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use and setup within the environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
At times the alerting can be tricky to configure.

We are able to see what is happening in our environment very quickly and start on a resolution much quicker then previously.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ensure you take a valid count of all of the nodes you wish to manage, because it will affect the costs for implementing the product.
Solid product, but still needs work
What do you like best about the product?
front page that shows a parentage of addresses available, this gives you a good snapshot of your scopes

Some more options would be nice, being able to perform dhcp functions like reserving addresses, checking device mac address, etc.

We are able to monitor our dhcp scopes without actually jumping on the servers and checking, also it's nice to get alerts.
