"SolarWinds' network and server application monitoring features are strong."
"The set up was very easy. We didn't have any problems with the setup. The deployment took less than an hour."

"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The two views into the system are very good but could be extended to further customization to fit the need of end users in a variety of roles."
"We have been facing an issue since last year when a lot of our users started to work from home through their mobiles or computers. We are having trouble reaching these devices. We are now planning to publish our instance to the cloud so that we can reach these devices. Its performance should be improved in terms of the discovery of the devices. I would like to feel confident with the discovery that this solution does. For example, on my dashboard, I would like to be able to view a list of all devices seen on a specific server. At present, it is difficult to find such information. This would be an excellent feature to have."
"We would like link monitoring included. At times we need to monitor those specific links closely."
"The initial setup is a bit complicated. It needs a technician who is very aware of the flow and how to officially set up the flow chart, etc."
"The licensing model is confusing."
"There should be an option to get mobile notifications or SMS mirror notifications for critical issues. That way, when we don't have access to email, we can still receive notifications via our phones."
"The storage level monitoring needs improvement. It needs storage level monitoring on the server itself. That feature is lacking right now."
"We would like the solution's customize and build functionality to be more user-friendly."
"The solution does not offer much customization so is somewhat inflexible."
"In terms of scalability, there is room for improvement. When you start monitoring, if you have so many interfaces and you're trying to monitor them at a faster interval, or a shorter interval, you get to a point where you need to request another node."
"Scalability is a bit tricky because it requires more gateways in order to get the performance you may need. It also requires a lot of licensing."
"The reporting is good, but I want it to be a little easier when creating custom reports. The reports are all on the website now, but it takes some know how to get some to display the way you would like."
"The price of the solution can be improved."
"The aesthetic widgets should be dynamic widgets, so the customization can be even more customizable."
"The console could be more user-friendly. It would be better if SolarWinds updated the user interface."
"The only real caveat that we have or that I have an issue with is when I go on vacation, it's a little hard for me to go and modify alerts so that I don't get alerted about things when I'm on vacation."
