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."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"NetMon's best feature is traffic analysis."
"Visibility is a valuable feature, the ability to see even if the traffic is not going into the firewall"
"The analytics feature is the most valuable feature."
"The protocols with which you see the traffic for a particular website that a client has in their environment, for example, are valuable. We can monitor whether the traffic is up to the mark or whether they need to add more bandwidth. Also, we can see if we're able to get real-time environment data as well. The customization dashboard is really good. LogRhythm NetMon has its own in-built dashboards which are helpful in guiding customization."
"The most valuable feature is the log, which can be analyzed by our SIEM solution."
"It has a very strong artificial intelligence engine."
"The initial setup is easy."
"I believe the ease of setup and use, including everything, from the initial installation to the discovery of devices is the most valuable."
"SolarWinds dashboard is very fast. Also, their interface is very good, it looks very user-friendly. The product allows me to see a summary of the network being monitored at a glance."
"It combines and presents information from many different sources, giving a corporate-wide vision on a single pane of glass."
"The stability is fantastic."
"The ability to customize the views and dashboards is nice. SolarWinds also allows us to access the data via the API. That's probably the feature I liked the most."
"The most valuable features in SolarWinds NPM are the network search and diagnostic tools."
"We have configured multiple alerts for our network devices, including routers and switches, so that we are notified if any interface goes down."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"I would like to see better integration with multiple products. Integration is not something that is readily available for most of the products."
"LogRhythm NetMon's pricing model is an area of concern that should be made a little bit cheaper in comparison to the other players in the market currently."
"Some of the automated tasks we can perform on QRadar cannot be performed on LogRhythm because the solution has limitations."
"Could use a topology diagram which would help get an exact visual."
"There is an issue with tunneling in relation to how the connectivity is established between the end devices and where NetMon is installed. On the console, I often observe that there's a difference of a few seconds or maybe a minute, and this lag time should not be there."
"Sometimes it's hard to find the network devices' self-audit logs."
"The training for this product is not very good and needs to be improved."
"It would be nice if SolarWinds added some technical protocols like Modbus. The market needs a simple solution for monitoring a technical device."
"Time: A worldwide deployment can be confusing for dispersed users with non-local times. Each node should have a local time (with summer offset if appropriate) & each user should view & report in their local time."
"The solution does not offer much customization so is somewhat inflexible."
"We decided that we were no longer going to trust that their products have not been capitalized."
"The evaluation time for the product is too short especially for large corporations."
"I think Solar Winds NPM needs to create a profile with documentation responsibility."
"If they did some type of synthetic monitoring, it would have been better."
"It would be good to have high security."
