For more than 6 years, we have been using SolarWinds with all our customers and I really can not find anything negative.

The most useful tool!
What do you like best about the product?
NPM is quite simple but powerful tool for network monitoring. The feature I like most is the flexibility - you can create your own alerts/reports/polers and etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Network Atlas has quite old interface and limited list of features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The troubleshooting of all issues related to network outages always started with NPM.
Everything you need at your fingertips and easy to add to.
What do you like best about the product?
I like how neat and orderly it is displayed on the screen. You have it listed by subnet or supernet depending on your design on the left and then it drills down to all the subnets below that level on the right hand side. It have everything that you would need to describe your subnets. You can add VLAN information, descriptions and I just took another look at it. WOW! I didn't know you could look at it from a chart view. That is pretty impressive too.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't really say there is anything that I don't like about it. It was kinda difficult to understand what I was seeing the first time I used it. I didn't really like it much but as I used it more and more, the easier it was to read and to fill out that it became indispensable. When something is this functional you really begin to understand and use it a lot.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to keep track of all of our old subnets and implement the new ones. We used to have /24 subnets for everything. Even a point to point connection. Well not really but it was darn close to doing that.

Don't let it daunt you at first. It seems complicated but really it isn't. It can be a life saver sometimes.
A Powerful Yet User Friendly VM Manager
What do you like best about the product?
Features offered by Solarwinds Virtualization Manager are immensely helpful to achieve real-world use cases and workflows.
However, the one I like the best is Dash-boarding which lets you create a customized and interactive dashboard, and the Network Device Performance-related events the Solarwinds VM offers give you insights into the uptime for your guest machines.

What do you dislike about the product?
It is the finest Virtualization Solution out there in the market but it's the bill of materials and the overall cost of the product to be paid which is not very budget-friendly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've been solving problems related to business requirements and use-cases through virtualization offered by SolarWinds Virtualization Manager for quite some time now.
One benefit I can think of is the centralized manager for all my virtual machines located geographically all being managed from a single console and allocation of resources to these VMs have never been this easier.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a boon to you if you are highly dependent on virtualization or if you are planning to virtualize your Data Centre Infrastructure.
This tool could save you a lot in the long run since you won't be paying for the hardware most of the time. However, one-time costs for the licenses, hardware, and installation are a bit on the higher side but trust me it is all worth it if you choose wisely.

The GUI metrics presented are relevant and capture the high-level views nicely. The ability to drill into just about anything is very nice. The AppStack and PerfStack are my favorite resources.
