What makes the SoftwareReviews Data Quadrant different? Inclusion of aggregated emotional response ratings in the areas of service, negotiation, product impact, conflict resolution, and strategy and innovation creates a powerful indicator of overall user feeling toward the vendor and its product from the software users’ point of view. SoftwareReviews calls this insight the Net Emotional Footprint.

In addition to Net Emotional Footprint scoring (based on standard net-promoter scores), Corvil Analytics ranked highest in vendor support satisfaction, with a score of 92%! Motadata IIP demonstrated consistently strong performance across many capabilities, one of which is ease of IT admin; ManageEngine OpManager satisfied users and ranked very high across many capabilities, such as ease of implementation; Icinga Monitoring excelled in many areas, including providing exceptional usability and intuitiveness; PRTG Network Monitor showed excellent performance in several capabilities, including ease of customization; SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor demonstrated high satisfaction in business value created; and Cisco Prime Infrastructure ranked consistently well across the board, particularly in ease of data integration.

Network monitoring software is an enormously powerful tool in IT infrastructure that holds a tremendous amount of responsibility for an organization. Understanding exactly what you are getting in your service provider from the users’ standpoint is critical in reducing blind spots, which is important when there is so much at stake. As Scott Young, principal research advisor, infrastructure, at Info-Tech Research Group said, “When you have the ability to monitor your infrastructure for such things as health, capacity, availability and performance, you gain the perspective to make properly informed decisions.”
