Solar Winds for Exchange

  • January 01, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Lots of customizations and includes support for DAG monitoring for Exchange environments. Important information and alerts are pre-configured. Synthetic monitoring gives you the chance to catch issues before they arise. Combined with the SolarWinds Orion suite, you can use this tool to monitor every performance aspect of your IT infrastructure.
What do you dislike about the product?
Even with all the customizations, a lot false alerts are created. We have worked with Solorwind engineers and we have not be able to create rules to limit our false positives alerting. This in return has generated about 10000 extra emails to our admin accounts. While the tool gives us what we need, it also produces way too much noise. This has cause our team to create a lot of email rules to filter out what is needed and auto delete of alerts. In return, we get the alerts we need but with too many alerts. The dashboard is ok, but needs improvement.

Support for third party cert is needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring of all of servers to ensure services and servers are up. This also included monitoring of our networks, databases, services for customize applications, Database DAG reporting, SQL Server, ping, application servers, active directory and the like.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Solorwinds can be shared with another application server and placed on a shared SQL server. This is great when considering having the upkeep with servers in one's environment.

What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the data was more real time. With that being said I'm not sure what the current polling params are setup for my company.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Network/Device/Camera/Switch/Port troubleshooting/research.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great for IT support who works with network switches/devices.

Very useful software for monitoring our own applications

  • December 30, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We love the integration with both AWS (Amazon Web Services) and Microsoft Azure, along with the ability to build our own monitors. We've been able to add custom Glassfish and Tomcat monitoring.
What do you dislike about the product?
Still very Microsoft focussed, it would be good to see more attention to linux. More focus also needed on removing Network Atlas
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need timely and accurate monitoring of our business applications. Our support team have been able to move away from the unreliable Nagios system, they now have a dashboard that shows them exactly what they need.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Download the trial and give it a try.
