Sometimes our services when todwn with no apparent reason at all, now this software is letting us know when something is down and why? with specific details in how to reach that application or server that is having issues
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a large solution for large enterprises but you can use it for every days small and medium business
5 years using it and really quite enjoying it
What do you like best about the product?
It has both simplicity and complexity. Meaning that it is very easy to setup the basics, allowing to start monitoring things quickly and then add the complexity as required. The custom properties allow for some much control and logic to built into the system. The GUI is also easy to use and customise.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would have said the mapping, but the latest release has made some real improvements.
The alert logic could have a little more depth, as an Orion user minimising alerts is two pronged fork, reduce the number (or improve the quality) of the alerts going out, but also minimise the number of alert configurations (less administration especially in multi-tenanted systems).

Can be a challenge to set up all the alerting.

Terrific product, keeps us well informed of our environment and uptime. Solarwinds is crucial for any network environment.
Solar Winds Review
What do you like best about the product?
We get alerts immediately when our servers are down or network connectivity has failed. It helps complete our initial troubleshooting on servers and find the problem before escalating it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Support is not 100%. When we have urgent monitors informing us our servers are down we should expect a call from the service provider to inform us. However we have to call them and constantly chase for a solution or update even.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The benefits we have realised is that we are alerted almost immediately once a server is down. Whether that be connectivity wise or power issue. It helps us investigate and troubleshoot to see if it an issue on our end.
Solar winds monitoring also shows us how much space we have on our servers and if they need to be upgraded.

Feature Rich Monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
Several new and innovative additions to the new release. Contextual mapping available from supported hardware by a simple click of a submenu, with no additional configuration necessary
What do you dislike about the product?
They tend to stay on the upper edge of the supported platforms to run the latest platform. While support remains great for older versions of their software the latest and greatest requires late model OS and SQL. Thankfully the new online installer removes a lot of the upgrade anguish.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SolarWinds is rapidly added features that distinguish it from the Up or Down monitor technology. It provides detail information for sizing and growth to help in the budgeting process.
Can't live without it
What do you like best about the product?
The best part of NPM in my opinion is the advanced alerts and all that you can do with them. Basic alerting will lead to many false positives but with NPM you can quiet your alerts down to just what you want to be alerted on... which is the main idea right?
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were more alert actions available for advanced alerts. For example, rather than have a sound play, I would like a popup alert to trigger on all admin's desktops. There are ways to script something like this which just shows how flexible NPM is, but I would like to see more built in actions like a popup window for example.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving the need for automatic problem resolution with NPM. This benefits us because things go bump in the night and we're not a 24/7 operation... with NPM we're able to monitor for those bumps and automate the fixes so we're not having to wake up and login for every little bump.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Check out some of the other modules from Solarwinds that works in tandem with NPM. Server & Application Manager is my favorite and there are so many more to add on to this amazing tool belt called Network Performance Monitor
SolarWinds provides the flexibility needed to monitor small to large networks with the NPM
What do you like best about the product?
With the NPM, SolarWinds provides a core module with which it is possible to quickly and flexibly implement a network and server monitoring with multitenant capability.
Within a few hours a multi-vendor surveillance is installed and even alarms and reports are configured.

What do you dislike about the product?
For more than 6 years, we have been using SolarWinds with all our customers and I really can not find anything negative.
Feature requests from customers are taken seriously.
new products are integrated, existing products are developed further in short cycles

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With SolarWinds, we've been able to consolidate multiple different network, server, and application monitoring tools from different customers.
This results in a shorter deployment time, lower network administration costs, less capital expenditure

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.
