Great for monitoring a large number of websites and locating the issue
What do you like best about the product?
Pingdom is great for notifying when a website goes down, and allowing analysts to start looking into the issue within milliseconds of the site losing connectivity. It also has a lot of helpful tools to help diagnose problems with websites.
What do you dislike about the product?
Due to the way that it monitors by pinging your website from other countries, if there is an internet outage from the ping location to your server it will cause false alerts, and sometimes it can make it harder to get a bead on the problem..
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allows us to monitor indiviual websites hosted on servers rather than monitoring the entire server, is a nice supplement to IIS monitoring in SCOM.

Proactive Monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
The simple GUI where everything related to CPU, Disk Space, RAM is displayed in the single page with proper visualization.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unable to integrate the different platforms for monitoring one technology/application
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been using this for more than 5 years, the first email we receive before an adverse event in any servers is from Solar Winds monitoring only. We were able to analyze different scenarios with the level of detailed analysis provided by Solarwinds. Solarwinds is our primary monitoring tool.
SolarWinds IP Address Manager is a valuable tool for any IT Toolbox
What do you like best about the product?
The SolarWinds IP Address Manager makes it so easy to track what static IP addresses have been assigned to what devices and even what ranges of address are reserved for specific types of devices. It makes organizing my network so much easier since I can properly document my entire IP address map.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the SolarWinds IP Address Manager showed the MAC addresses of the devices it finds on the scans. Otherwise, I'm very happy with it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was looking for a good way to track my reserved IP addresses and ranges and the current devices that are assigned in those addresses and ranges. SolarWinds IP Address Manager solved that problem for me unlike anything else I have been able to find.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend the SolarWinds IP Address Manager to every IT person that manages a network of devices. It is a valuable tool to document and manage your IP network addressing.
In Depth Network Performance Monitoring & Troubleshooting
What do you like best about the product?
A few great things about NPM - NetPath, Network Insight for Cisco, F5, Palo Alto, Dynamic Maps, Layer 2 and Layer 3 topology discovery..
NetPath is a great hop by hop analysis tool and very useful for troubleshooting network delays, configuration issues, packet drops along the path taken to reach a particular service being served at a TCP port level.
Network InSights for various devices are adding more value - eg. Cisco ASA HA topology, Cisco stackable switches, Site-to-Site VPN's, F5 load balancing.
Dynamic Maps 2.0 are much better than the erstwhile Network Atlas.

What do you dislike about the product?
It's not actually a dislike but more of customization flexibility - ability to chose colors, fonts etc on Dashboards, Maps etc.
Need of a common discovery engine across all Orion modules. (This pertains to other modules under Orion like IPAM, UDT, NCM and NTA)
SolarWinds can help by increasing and creating more ready to pick widgets that can be just a drag and drop to dashboards.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to identify hardware issues like power supply failures, cooling issues etc has reduced hardware replacement times.
Performance monitoring metrices have been configured to proactively trigger alerts of different types - email alerts, SMS alerts, Slack messages. This helps with preventing issues from occuring.
Dashboards for various teams have helped with monitoring the right components. The flexibility to include charts, graphs is very useful.
Comprehensive reports of different types availability, utilization, status etc have been able to address all audit and compliance needs.
Creation of users with different roles and responsibilities make it easier to ensure that only the desired users have the rights to view components allocated to them.
NetPath has also helped with identifying bandwidth and latency issues with Service Providers - both Internet as well as Intranet (MPLS leased circuits)
Device Views give a nice visual depiction of the node under monitoring and hence eases the strain of going through logs and other data.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider the whole stack of Network Modules on the SolarWinds Orion platform rather than NPM as a standalone product. The other modules are real value adds to help you on the journey to Monitor, Manage and Analyze.
NPM & VNQM for Monitoring
NCM & IPAM for Managing
NTA for Analysis
Addons like UDT help with troubleshooting.
The Network monitoring can then be enhanced to include Servers, Applications, Storage, Virtual & Cloud.

Very effective logging and app monitoring solution.
What do you like best about the product?
Documentation to set up loggly and plugins was pretty straight forward to create and manage. Also help desk was pretty responsive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cost. However, the solution is very well built and the amount of features/capabilities you have with the lowest plan is worth it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a SaaS that provides an API to many solutions that relay on timely response and high availability. If we have an issue with our service we must identify it quickly to be addressed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
if you want an COTS product for logging and monitoring I high recommend Loggly.
