Hossam's SolarWinds NCM Review
I'm happy & very satisfied using NCM, feeling safe that in case any of my network devices failed, i can retrieve its configuration easily & even comparing it to older ones, as i can customize it up to a daily config backup task, also being able to push scripts to the NCM added devices makes life much easier & more centralized, saving effort & time.
- I've been using NCM for more than 4 years now & i'm currently using its latest version 2020
- 2
- 6, using the license of 1000 allowed number of nodes, and i can say it is a module you can rely upon to maintain your Network devices configuration backed up continuously, i am having a daily backup of all the devices configuration & also can push any script into any added devices easily, saving time & effort
- The support is very good & helps fixing any issue i may face, and also the forums community can provide quick solution when needed
There is actually nothing i don't like about it except for its cost, and also for the admin using it, must be having a decent knowledge of SQL DB, yet their support can always help
Why they chose it
"I use other SolarWinds products like IPAM, NPM & NTA, so it is easier to use the NCM alongside these other modules."

Best for configuration automations, reporting and compliance management
Solarwinds network configuration manager works well in automating the backups from devices and managing the configuration changes but lacks in terms of maintaining decent GUI and weak in maintaining compliance management.
- Solarwinds network configuration manager does an excellent job when it comes to automating the backups which make things easier
- It does perform well in reporting and helps a lot in terms of compliance management
Solarwinds NCM product needs efforts as compared to products in terms of maintaining the server, looks traditional in GUI, and recommends upgrading more about its thwack community

Manage your network device configurations
Information Technology and Services
solarwinds network configuration manager allows us to take backup, monitor if any change in configuration has occurred and it was done by who and it also provides very good reports which we can modify according to our needs
we were unable to purchase this software as it is very costly software but the time I spent on its trial period, the results were very outstanding and unfortunately we had to skip this as it was going out of our budget

NCM is a must have for any environment
Verified reviewer
- If you run more than 5 devices you need this tool
- With the ability to automate backups of iOS of the Cisco and other supported devices like HP and others you save time and money, it keeps a history and allows you to quickly restore a previous image
- It also documents any and all changes to the device
- Really there are not many
- Price is about the only complaint, its expensive
- I have found that often Solarwinds is very proud of their software and think it needs to bring top dollar

Network Configuration Manager is an amazing tool
Information Technology and Services
I have used several tools to manage various networks and perform deployments but Network Configuration Manager is an amazing tool to manage almost every require activity however its best feature is to upgradations of firmwares in one go and does not require to be choose one connected device and distribute the file which can be time consuming but in this tool we can manage and upgrades firmware very easily, I can say its a time saving and less effort tool
It is very easy to integrate with any network and it has an ability to sync its parameters although the log files view is not very much eye catching and its should be more precise and every field should be clear and highlighted as per my point of view perhaps its a very nice tool

Solarwinds Can Be Setup And Configured In Less Than An Hour
I love that a lot of the automation can be done on routers or switches. I have it backing up our devices on a nightly basis
- Solarwinds is a very easy product to install, configure and operate
- I love a lot of the automation that can be done on routers or switches
- Sometimes finding the right menu option you need
- Once I find the screen I am looking for, I bookmark it and name it to something that makes sense to me

Easily monitor and backup Configs for network devices
Easily look at configs and copy and paste to new device in case of failure. Good solution for backups and monitoring.
- Able to View configs on devices without having to login to device through
- Able to archive configs to backup location
- Also able to send email with config changes to email address
- I wish they would have their network insight feature more than just for cisco ASA's
- Not able to limit the viewing of backup configs to a specific time without limiting the backup retention to that timeframe

Solarwinds NCM
Verified reviewer
- This software allows us to keep an audit trail for all the changes that takes place and it also captures that who made the change, and when a change is made in the configuration of any device then before and after comparisons are also available
- We are also using this tool to keep backups for our core devices and when we are installing a new device or replacing a faulty, it helps us to apply the previously saved configuration on to the new device within few minutes
This is a very expensive tool for small businesses and it requires administrative privileges to perform certain tasks, which might lead to a breach if exposed
