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."
"It has a very strong artificial intelligence engine."
"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 is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The analytics feature is the most valuable feature."
"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 most valuable feature of this solution is the alerts."
"Provides a good level of tools and covers essential components."
"The SolarWinds NPM framework, upon which most of their flagship products are built, empowers a wide variety of admins and users to quickly find value in their installed products."
"The solution is extremely stable. We haven't had any issues in that regard. We haven't had issues with bugs, glitches, or crashes."
"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."
"There are a lot of options for customization of the dashboard, alerts, and reports."
"With just three modules, I can monitor server performance (whether it’s a VM, in the cloud, or an on-premises server."
"I like the tracking feature to track devices and see where they are connected. This is very practical."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"Sometimes it's hard to find the network devices' self-audit logs."
"Could use a topology diagram which would help get an exact visual."
"I would like to see better integration with multiple products. Integration is not something that is readily available for most of the products."
"The training for this product is not very good and needs to be improved."
"It would be nice if SolarWinds could have a polling engine on the site that would collect the reporting and then manage everything itself."
"This solution would benefit from expanding on the capabilities within the API."
"The tool can only monitor up to 1000 instances in a single SolarWinds console. Customers may have over 1000 instances. Hence, it needs to support a minimum of 1500 instances. It should also improve support."
"Technical support can be slow to respond."
"Each model has different features, so clients need to purchase a separate model for SQL monitoring, database monitoring, network traffic analyzer, HTTP traffic, etc. So each feature they need is in a different model, but customers would prefer an all-in-one solution."
"The solution needs to integrate with additional SDN technologies that are part of the hyper market."
"My team has had a lot of issues with support."
"The solution is not always good with new features, so it's take a long time."
