Use Solarwinds app frequently for traffic analysis realtime alerting for down nodes, vpns, packet loss and disk cap.
Primary Advantages- relatively easy to use. Dashboard type views show status of nodes, good graphical representation.
Primary Disadvantages- Limited mapping & network discovery capability. This may make it better for some network topologies that others. Network discovery on some networks may require seperate manual entry to discover all subnets, vpns, etc. A great improvement would be if it had realtime network mapping, scanning to automatically detect changes on any portion of network
Other- Uses relational database to store info, a pus to this is modularity and compatibility, a negative can be effect on its performance.
