A lot of good information!
What do you like best about the product?
I like how well it keeps track of our storage, letting us know if there are any issues. The predictions on disks/volumes filling up are useful for capacity planning purposes. I also really like the Performance Analyzer, which is driven by the new metrics features - the ability to drag and drop various metrics and rearrange things easily is a fabulous feature. The ability to have more than just one manufacturer's worth of storage listed and compared is very handy, giving us the ability to see the whole environment instead of just pieces.
What do you dislike about the product?
The appstack displays seem to not always accurately portray our environment at the higher abstraction levels (meaning at the application layers), though it's usually close enough to be useful. In some cases it seems to have its own look and feel to it, which isn't necessarily bad but isn't like the rest of the SW suite.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As mentioned, using it for capacity management and planning has more than paid for its additional cost. We can see at a glance what LUNs are more filled and which are less, how long we expect it to be before we'll have to add space, and can really dig into performance characteristics far more easily than it had been using our SAN-vendor's tools.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
While I haven't seen them recently, I was pleasantly surprised that the demos and screenshots really do give you a decent feel for what the product really brings to the table. I suspect this is still the case, so I suggest to get on the phone with your SW rep and see if you can swing a demonstration!

Solarwinds was a good product to see server status at a glance
What do you like best about the product?
I liked being able to drill down into each network interface to see what sort of traffic was coming through. I could drill down to a specific connection and see details.

A local application might be better as far as speed goes. It was slow to connect and move around at peak times during the business day.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Solid Monitoring Solution

This is a reliable tool for monitoring a lot of different things in your IT environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
Creating and especially modifying your setup is a little awkward and time consuming. I would really prefer a simpler navigation to only the section I want to modify and then to be able to save it without navigating through other workflow screens until the Save button is finally displayed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have some highly fluid application disk usage and this allows us to stay on top of it and address constraints quickly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a reliable product, but weigh its setup & pricing carefully.

SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor
What do you like best about the product?
Solarwinds allows my department to rest easy knowing that if something does go down, we will know about right away.
What do you dislike about the product?
There really is not that much to dislike about this software. Only downside I can say would probably be needing to constantly update it with "nodes" but that is on my side only.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Peace of mind to know that our servers are being monitored and checked for health.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Check to see how many nodes you actually will be monitoring and choose the correct licensing to make things as easy as possible.
