Full Review:
I've used SolarWinds Orion for about two years now and have found that it's even more versatile than the big hammer I keep in my garage! The web-based interface provides instant, constant updates as to the status of our network to Helpdesk staff, Tech Staff and Management, each can have their own tailored views with varying degrees of simplicity and varying levels of the "Ooooh, what's that!!?" factor, which is fantastic for an office with a large wall-mounted display. With a little bit of thought, we were able to create solutions to suit everyone in the department, from email and SMS notifications when rogue machines came online to interactive maps of network and server statuses. There's a lot of potential with this software and I know we've only scratched the surface.

Is the above still true ? That is, can I create "workflows" that span across packages - say NPM and NCM ? Such that an alert goes out on a config compliance failure...?

Yes, still true. Most of Orion product can run integrated in a single pane of glass and allow for seamless navigation between products and modules (true for NPM NCM and also for many others). As far as your alert on config compliance failure, the way to achieve this is to configure a real time alert for config changes and when it fires off, launch the compliance report which will scan your new config and detect compliance violations
