"The connectivity of the solution is very good."
"One of the best features is the reports feature."

"We had some stability issues at the outset that have since been resolved."
"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."
"This product is little bit slow sometimes. It may be that we need to change the configuration to improve performance."
"They should add more features to URL monitoring."
"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 for this solution is not straightforward and should be improved."

"They need to work on their automation and automatically discover devices. They are not very good at automatically discovering devices."
"The solution is not always good with new features, so it's take a long time."
"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."
"SolarWinds NPM can be very slow at times. The database optimization can be done to improve the product performance."
"The dashboard of the solution is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"Technical support can be slow to respond."
