Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"The auto-configuration or auto-Thresholding is very important because it saves a phenomenal amount of labor and setup costs and time."
"Some of the best features of eG are, in terms of APM, they have complete modules between application performance monitoring, server monitoring, and even storage and network-based monitoring. The UI is also quite good. They have some standard AI-based capabilities, even though it's not quite as advanced when compared to Dynatrace. eG has some good, basic APM capabilities."
"It gives good insight into inside of what's going on with Exchange."
"eG Enterprise has a single pane of glass for observability and monitoring."
"Single pane of glass to review status of the full environment."
"The topology view which provides a visual representation of a service and quickly allows identification of errors or degraded performance."
"Its ability to monitor failures and to restart a Windows service when it fails."
"EG monitors all infrastructure elements (all OS, all database, storage, network, and web server) from a single console."
"It combines and presents information from many different sources, giving a corporate-wide vision on a single pane of glass."
"It gives us a map of the network setup and one console to see the entire network."
"The most important feature is reporting. The reports that are generated are useful and they save a lot of time with respect to monitoring."
"SolarWinds NPM is a scalable solution since it can handle a huge number of users."
"All the features are very good. The monitoring of the equipment, the configuration manager, and the IP address monitoring are great."
"The benefit of this solution is the reporting. We're able to report on and see our network in a graphical form. We are able to detect when a device is added to a network."
"Network performance is the main issue clients are facing. SolarWinds checks if a node is down, and we can set thresholds for performance metrics. For example, we set it up to get an alert automatically if a value is over 80 percent. It has a full dashboard that covers CP, hard disk, and node monitoring."
"SolarWinds is reasonably priced."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The integration must be improved."
"The interface could be improved as it is not real intuitive. It is not user-friendly."
"The UI looks a little dated and could do with a refresh."
"Needs to improve the networking monitor capabilities."
"The solution needs to enhance the management dashboards."
"I can understand why they designed the user interface (UI) the way they did, but sometimes in the management of the eG Manager, it can be a bit clunky."
"Back-end configuration is not easy to implement."
"Dashboards are difficult to create, and not so useful."
"Robustness of network element mapping tool could be better"
"It has covered everything, so no improvement is required at their end. The only thing is the price."
"The scalability can be better."
"SolarWinds NPM needs to increase its elements. One polling engine can only support 10,000 elements then it becomes slow. There are limitations even if you have the full SLX version license."
"It is not that stable. As a Windows software, I have seen issues with SolarWinds. The performance is slow."
"I think Solar Winds NPM needs to create a profile with documentation responsibility."
"I would like to see some enhancement on the reporting side, such as making it a little bit easier to create reports or having a larger assortment of canned reports."
"If they’re going for a “cover everything” approach, then they need to do so and enable a bit more of the "cover everything approach" within every one of the tools."
