Out of the box usability
What do you like best about the product?
Pre-built dashboards and alerts allow you to add your nodes and immediately get value.
What do you dislike about the product?
Picking and configuring device templates is either really easy or really hard. If you run in to an issue getting a device template working or understanding how they measure ingress/egress it is a steep learning curve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a go to in troubleshooting network issues. We identify and alert on our critical network paths. This enables us to be proactive instead of waiting for user reports.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Run the free trial. You can see if it will work in your environment and integrate with your workflow. Ever software has it's quirks and SolarWinds lets you try pretty much anything for free. Take advantage of that.

Sometimes we receive false alerts or the alerts are a little late by the time we realize a server is back up on it's own.

An easy way to monitor servers
What do you like best about the product?
SAM gives you the peace of mind you need when looking after the performance, health and statistics of the servers you manage. With built in templates it makes it easy to get up and running in no time. It gives you insights and information you really need on a day to day basis.
What do you dislike about the product?
SAM isn't cheap and can lack features if only used by itself. The way it integrates with the other Solarwinds modules is very good but isn't the cheapest option.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Rather than checking and monitoring servers manually it helps us get on with other tasks, saving us time. It also draws to our attention potential problems that we can snuff out before they turn into anything more serious.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for good serve monitoring then SAM is a great product. With the WMI support, you can see detailed information about your servers, which before wouldn' have been clear.
The Goodness of NPM

How NPM ease up the monitoring experience in IT operations like in our company.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Solarwinds NPM is a great tool to have especially for monitoring. This helps a lot detecting issues before it occurs and avoiding any problems.
Perfect for monitoring traffic and devices
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to use, and perfect for monitoring traffic and devices that may go down. If we start to get an influx of calls, Solarwinds is the first thing I turn to, to see if we have any devices that may be down and affecting our network.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing so far. I only use it when needed in my position, but it provides the info that I need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can see what is eating up our bandwidth and when devices are down, which helps me gather more info before someone in a higher position ca confirm what is happening.
