The Standard in Network Monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
So much in one pane of glass. You can see an overview or detail by a single click. We live by the alerts.
What do you dislike about the product?
Licensing is a little burdensome. Each port on a switch takes up a license. It would be nice to just be able to select all ports. Now we have to just do the uplinks and then add and remove other ports on the edge to get baselines or see what is going on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting instant info on up/down or port utilization is huge for any I.T. dept.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is good to work with a third party or solarwinds services to get it setup to begin with. Then you can start adding monitors.
One Of the Best monitoring tools around

Rapid deployment of config change to multiple devices. Plus real-time collection of configurations shows who made the change and what changes were made.
What do you dislike about the product?
Be nicer if it was a little cheaper, but what can you do?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest challenge we solved was exposing who was making unapproved changes to network devices, and visibility into what they were changing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It was cheaper than WUG, but WUG revampd their pricing model, so WUG is currently cheaper and accomplishes many of the same things.

Strong and Reliable monitoring

What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the alerts can require some major configurations in order to read correct application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to avoid downtimes due to alerts on our applications we are monitoring. This gives us a insight into what applications are having issues prior to a system crash. It also allows us to proactively stop or restart services on those databases.
Great GUI interface, used by many healthcare firms for networking
What do you like best about the product?
Love how expandable the software is. Allowing for basic to detail control and monitoring of server infrastructure and network maintenance and administration.
What do you dislike about the product?
Dislike that most firms I've worked at only use Solarwinds for network monitoring, and not utilizing the ability for it to control and convert more raw data for monitoring and configuration through its add-ons.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Taking monitoring data and utilizing it to preset to higher ups. Utilizing it to control physical server infrastructure. Building customized GUI interfaces for specific department uses.
Really useful monitoring tool for tracking down and identifying slow SQL queries
What do you like best about the product?
VividCortex is a very useful tool that we use for evaluating and identifying problematic SQL queries running in our production codebase. After identifying the query, we can use the metadata and details VividCortex tracks to hunt down ways to optimize our queries. VividCortex is also able to give us the raw SQL query that has been used, which is very useful in many of our debugging scenarios. We have been able to catch problematic queries and resolve them before too many users were affected, and we have also been able to mitigate problems effectively in real time as they arose. This product has helped us improve customer satisfaction and minimize the lag times in key transactions our application performs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing much to dislike about the product - it could be designed to be a bit more intuitive or easy to use out of the box, but it should be pretty straightforward with a little bit of guidance. Overall, the interface is still clean, aesthetic, and neat enough from a usability standpoint.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using this software to keep track of key SQL queries in our database. VividCortex allows us to catch, investigate, and fix these small queries in a short amount of time before users see it. This helps us with our customer retention and satisfaction rates.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely consider this product if you or your company rely on key SQL queries to run your application. Being able to track your queries' performance over time and in the moment allows you to foresee issues in your codebase or fix current problems you may be having already.
Simple but powerful tool for centralizing your logs and making them searchable
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to integrate with. Sample code/config has been provided for every scenario I've required. The alerts you can configure based on a search are super useful too.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I dislike is that scrolling through logs in the GUI can feel clunky at times. There are ways to mitigate this, by looking at specific systems or jumping to a certain timestamp. But when you're just scrolling through and you're not quite sure what you're looking for, it can be a little frustrating.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Multiple systems/applications are sending their logs to papertrail and we have over a dozen alerts configured to alert the appropriate people (or group) when something goes wrong.
Its a awesome tool for network management.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the network performance monitoring, Server and application monitoring and the network traffic analyser tool very much and i dont have much exposure in other tools of solarwinds.
What do you dislike about the product?
Solarwinds support while trying to do the customization and the cost of the license are am not like in solarwinds.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All the network related issue.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its a best tool to have more visibility if we use multiple tools then its will be awesome experience.
