Hidden Costs Breakdown

1

Prerequisite Software (NPM)

high implementation

NTA requires a prior installation of SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor (NPM), making NPM's cost a prerequisite for NTA functionality.

industry

This means the cost of NPM is a prerequisite for NTA functionality

2

Tiered Licensing & Upgrades

high overage

NTA's tiered licensing must match the NPM license tier, meaning an NPM upgrade necessitates a corresponding NTA license upgrade, effectively doubling the cost impact of scaling.

industry

Consequently, an upgrade to NPM (e.g., from SL250 to SL500) necessitates a corresponding NTA license upgrade, effectively doubling the cost impact of scaling

3

Node/Element Counting

medium overage

SolarWinds' licensing model, particularly the shift from element-based to node-based pricing, can lead to unexpected charges.

industry

Consequently, an upgrade to NPM (e.g., from SL250 to SL500) necessitates a corresponding NTA license upgrade, effectively doubling the cost impact of scaling

4

Unexpected Charges

high overage

New licensing rules mean actions like enabling WMI, User Device Tracking (UDT), or Quality of Experience (QoE) can trigger additional node or element consumption, leading to unexpected charges mid-contract.

industry

Unexpected Charges: Customers have reported new licensing rules where certain actions, such as enabling WMI, User Device Tracking (UDT), or Quality of Experience (QoE), can trigger additional node or element consumption, leading to unexpected charges mid-contract.

5

Hardware Requirements for Scalability

medium implementation

To optimize performance and scale NTA implementations, SolarWinds Platform, SQL, and NTA Flow Storage Database servers must be maintained on separate physical machines, implying additional hardware investment.

industry

This implies additional hardware investment.
