After installing on a server, you can literally in minutes begin collecting actionable network performance if you have previously configured SNMP on your network equipment. Most of the products integrate, building on each other and adding more value. I have always been impressed with how their new versions add significant features and value for just paying maintenance on the product. Their online training is also very valuable. > > **Cons**: More advance features will take more effort to configure and generate actionable results. You can easily be overwhelmed by alerts and syslog if you do not make an effort to manage what you really need to see. ----- ### "NPM and Sam Application review" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *17 November 2022* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Stable, easy to us. Customizable reports. > > **Cons**: Sencers cost then software costs are too muchNo active support. > > No emergency work, ----- ### "SolarWinds NPM feels outdated and performance is lacking" — 3.0/5 > **Joshua** | *10 March 2023* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: The tool does what you need it to do from a network performance standpoint. The features allow your typical network monitoring, including devices applications and services. As such it helps to troubleshoot and avoid unnecessary downtime. > > **Cons**: Product feels dated and the performance is pretty bad when compared to other tools out there that are cheaper > > I'd rate this product a 3/5. It does what you need it to but it requires more administration that it should and the performance is poor. ----- ### "Solarwinds NPM Review" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *12 December 2018* | Computer Networking | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Allows for customized views and alerts to really lock down your essential requirements. (The problem is most users do not customize) > > **Cons**: I do not like that they promote how easily you can roll out this software to start monitoring your network. What they do not tell you that by doing a non customized quick roll out you will receive unlimited number of alerts to the point they will be ignored. By default the system shows you too much irrelevant information and it alerts on way too many general conditions. BE Warned - without tuning the alerts you will get many false positive alerts. > > This product is great when tuned and customized properly. We use it for alerting via email and for NOC (Network Operation Center) setups. For those not familiar - this is when you set up a large monitor in a "monitoring " room to view network conditions in real time. Custom NOC views allow you to present pretty much any monitored information on a screen. It also allows you to configure a single display monitor (perhaps a 70 inch TV/Display) that scrolls through multiple screens of valuable information. ----- ### "NPM is a very reliable and powerful network monitoring tool" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *18 October 2018* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: In the world of enterprise network monitoring, NPM has one of the shortest learning curves, its web GUI is very inutitive and you can start monitoring your assets almost immediately. It's support for different monitoring mechanisms (snmp, wmi and agent) provides adaptability to mostly any network. It possesses a very robust engine to configure thresholds, events and actions, so you can get the proper reaction to different events. SolarWinds provides a very complete ecosystem of network monitoring and management tools with seamless integration. > > **Cons**: The licensing model is not the best for a service provider scenario and it seems like the vendor doesn't even consider this option. Reporting capabilities are sort of buggy , specially when exporting complex and large reports. This tasks will also consume a lot of resources. There's an opportunity for the vendor to maybe decouple reporting capabilities to a BI module which can be deployed on an independent server, and maybe use for it a read only replica of the production DB. > > It can use some improvements, but still, in 8 years we've been using NPM on a service provider scenario, it has solved about 80% of our customers requirements for network monitoring. When complemented with other products from the same vendor, it provides maybe 95%, since there's always something than need a specialized tool. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/91176/network-performance-monitor?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/91176/network-performance-monitor) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
