What do you like best about the product?
WPM gives us great insight into the availability and performance of our websites ensuring high customer satisfaction. With the detailed statistics and history records, it helps you see why problems arose and how best to combat them. The built in alerting brings issues to our attention and helps us rectify them before the customer even realises there was a problem.
What do you dislike about the product?
WPM's cost for multiple or larger websites which rely on more 'transactions' or locations can become expensive if websites are not generating income themselves.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
WPM helps to avoid downtime, keep customer satisfaction high and saves time diagnosing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If concerned over performance or availability for multiple or vital website then WPM can help. If you're not mangaing many sites or are not concerned to much about performance, then it's probably not going to be cost effective.
Under the Hood Visibility
What do you like best about the product?
SRM from Solarwinds is another great product. We have purchased all of the Orion products and integrated them, including DPA. We're able to link SRM and DPA together, thus linking databases to storage, giving a single pane of glass view of the relationship between our storage and databases. Italso provides excellent capacity planning and the reporting elements are also great.
What do you dislike about the product?
We had issues during deployment, in terms of linking our Dell Compellents into SRM. Sometimes the SAN would insert fine, but then stop working a day later. We raised the issue with Solarwinds but didnt really get very far. We would have to stop and start the controller services to regain visibility of the metrics. This is not ideal, obviously.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had no visibility of our SANS in terms of workloads, IOPS, IO and general capacity planning. SRM solved all of these issues. We're now able to correlate performance issues across the infrastructure using SRM.
