Network Monitor complete, number 1

  • February 15, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Solarwinds has a wide and detailed configuration, to perform a high-level monitoring, all kinds of networks, ethernet, ISDN, TCP, UDP and many more, has a powerful tool that detects all kinds of faults, from the deepest of the network, detecting possible future failures that may affect the full operation of the network, verify all types of digital signals emitted by the network, and convert them into graphic data, understandable to any person, creating a simple and accurate monitoring environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial monitor takes hours, to create a complete report, because the analysis needs a couple of hours to complete in its entirety, the monitoring process can be somewhat slow, and waste time necessary work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Thanks to this application, we can avoid all types of leaks in the LAN network thanks to the monitoring and detection of timely failures, providing a complete service, with a percentage of minimum cuts, which are almost undetectable for our users, being an indispensable tool for the good operation of all types of internet networks in any company, we detect failures that have helped us to improve our entire infrastructure, significantly improving access to the internet in dead spots, or with weak signals, which caused continuous cuts in other sectors, due to the flow incorrect signal.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
the analysis times, and the subsequent creation of reports, must be markedly reduced, and the final report must be a little less complex, so that it is easy to understand, for novice users, who just start with the use of the program.

SolarWinds Orion APM

  • February 08, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's very extensive and customizable, allowing for intricate process monitoring for server resources, application performance, and storage capacity, among other KPMs. It's integration with OpsGenie is a nice tough for on the go alerts through the OpsGenie app. It's relatively easy to manage between our admin staff, and robust enough to monitor our hundreds of applications, servers, and components.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would say it's a bit monolithic in it's architecture and complex UI. Sometimes, it's more cumbersome to configure certain things than we'd like. And we would really like to have built-in PowerShell trigger actions, instead of having to shoehorn scripts through the "Execute External Program" trigger action. There also seems to be some performance hits after a couple hundred nodes, primarily in UI load times and log writes to our SW app server.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to monitor our application VM's and networking infrastructure, and has helped us catch incidents before the business is affected, or at least before they start complaining something is down ;) We also primarily like the ability to add custom attributes to our nodes so that we can better categorize them and receive more accurate alerts through OpsGenie. We've been able to record and troubleshoot incidents as they happen by connecting SW to our existing IT management services since we were able to integrate our existing automation into the alert actions we set up.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely useful in larger ecosystems, where you're monitoring nodes across multiple subnets/subdomains.

We Find No Alternative but SolarWinds

  • February 04, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
SolarWinds has the edge with regards to auto-finding gadgets on your system. It is proficient at utilizing SNMP outputs to learn which gadgets are up on your system and can even arrange them on a topology outline. This makes it a lot less demanding for managers to discover what they require in a live checking condition.
What do you dislike about the product?
To set up necessities a great deal to arrange. That is on the grounds that there are a number of modules that can be coordinated. Thusly, it is exceptionally necessitated that one comprehends what modules Orion can coordinate. Thusly, this item is pricy as well. It is vital to invest the energy and get its full utilization. It very well may overpower first and foremost while you are setting things up and very tedious.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The Network Device Monitor is an extraordinary expansion to the determination of free devices SolarWinds offers. Despite the fact that it's plainly intended to advance their full system observing frameworks, it remains without anyone else as a valuable device that can enable you to deal with your system. The Server and Application Monitor (SAM) help screen the wellbeing, accessibility, and execution of your applications and server infrastructure(physical and virtual). SAM cautions you about execution issues, which acts before your end-clients and business administrations are affected.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
While Orion is a mind-blowing device, guarantee you completely comprehend the requirements of a live establishment, before you considerably think about a free preliminary. Whilst you can introduce Orion in assessment on practically any estimated virtual machine or server, the prescribed determinations are not irrelevant, and you should be set up to meet them when you go live. Running Orion on a domain that does not meet the base prescribed detail will prompt a terrible involvement with the item.

Under the Hood Visibility

  • January 31, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
SRM from Solarwinds is another great product. We have purchased all of the Orion products and integrated them, including DPA. We're able to link SRM and DPA together, thus linking databases to storage, giving a single pane of glass view of the relationship between our storage and databases. Italso provides excellent capacity planning and the reporting elements are also great.
What do you dislike about the product?
We had issues during deployment, in terms of linking our Dell Compellents into SRM. Sometimes the SAN would insert fine, but then stop working a day later. We raised the issue with Solarwinds but didnt really get very far. We would have to stop and start the controller services to regain visibility of the metrics. This is not ideal, obviously.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had no visibility of our SANS in terms of workloads, IOPS, IO and general capacity planning. SRM solved all of these issues. We're now able to correlate performance issues across the infrastructure using SRM.
