An easy way to monitor servers
What do you like best about the product?
SAM gives you the peace of mind you need when looking after the performance, health and statistics of the servers you manage. With built in templates it makes it easy to get up and running in no time. It gives you insights and information you really need on a day to day basis.
What do you dislike about the product?
SAM isn't cheap and can lack features if only used by itself. The way it integrates with the other Solarwinds modules is very good but isn't the cheapest option.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Rather than checking and monitoring servers manually it helps us get on with other tasks, saving us time. It also draws to our attention potential problems that we can snuff out before they turn into anything more serious.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for good serve monitoring then SAM is a great product. With the WMI support, you can see detailed information about your servers, which before wouldn' have been clear.

Solar Winds Review
What do you like best about the product?
We get alerts immediately when our servers are down or network connectivity has failed. It helps complete our initial troubleshooting on servers and find the problem before escalating it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Support is not 100%. When we have urgent monitors informing us our servers are down we should expect a call from the service provider to inform us. However we have to call them and constantly chase for a solution or update even.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The benefits we have realised is that we are alerted almost immediately once a server is down. Whether that be connectivity wise or power issue. It helps us investigate and troubleshoot to see if it an issue on our end.
Solar winds monitoring also shows us how much space we have on our servers and if they need to be upgraded.

Perfect for monitoring traffic and devices
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to use, and perfect for monitoring traffic and devices that may go down. If we start to get an influx of calls, Solarwinds is the first thing I turn to, to see if we have any devices that may be down and affecting our network.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing so far. I only use it when needed in my position, but it provides the info that I need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can see what is eating up our bandwidth and when devices are down, which helps me gather more info before someone in a higher position ca confirm what is happening.
Feature Rich Monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
Several new and innovative additions to the new release. Contextual mapping available from supported hardware by a simple click of a submenu, with no additional configuration necessary
What do you dislike about the product?
They tend to stay on the upper edge of the supported platforms to run the latest platform. While support remains great for older versions of their software the latest and greatest requires late model OS and SQL. Thankfully the new online installer removes a lot of the upgrade anguish.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SolarWinds is rapidly added features that distinguish it from the Up or Down monitor technology. It provides detail information for sizing and growth to help in the budgeting process.
SolarWinds NPM Review
What do you like best about the product?
Great product for monitoring multiple vendor IT networks. Scale-able, affordable, quick and easy to setup. SQL Data structure means you can get under the hood for alerting and reporting purposes.
What do you dislike about the product?
A lack of security on the newer UI elements and other modules (Netpath) in the Orion suite of tools. This can be mitigated if very carefully setup and controlled by experienced professionals. Therefor not making it suitable for most MSP Providers. Development priority can sometimes be given to future growth areas rather then fixing the base problems with the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
flexible API means Solarwinds can be truly integrated into other business process applications. This means end to end automation is possible for adding, modifying and removing devices from the platform.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Experienced staff to run the platform to get the most out of it. Database Administrator to make the performance as good as it can be
NPM Review
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility of the product is 1st class and allows you add any product you like and if certain stats aren't supported out the box you can create your own pollers for those stats.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be slow at times even with the hardware sized correctly. Fixing bugs and niggles in the product rather than continually bringing out new versions with super new functionality would be good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its allowed us to have full visibility of our network and the ability to view historical data with alerting so rather than always waiting for a user to call with an issue we can be much more proactive with faults.
Solarwinds NPM is a very helpful and useful tool
What do you like best about the product?
The web console, and how things are displayed for quick and easy review
What do you dislike about the product?
The Licensing method is somewhat frustrating and the price was a bit high
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
NPM proved useful in detecting several problems at one of our remote locations, that we were not aware of.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Seems to work much better than other tools that I have used
Can't live without it
What do you like best about the product?
The best part of NPM in my opinion is the advanced alerts and all that you can do with them. Basic alerting will lead to many false positives but with NPM you can quiet your alerts down to just what you want to be alerted on... which is the main idea right?
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were more alert actions available for advanced alerts. For example, rather than have a sound play, I would like a popup alert to trigger on all admin's desktops. There are ways to script something like this which just shows how flexible NPM is, but I would like to see more built in actions like a popup window for example.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving the need for automatic problem resolution with NPM. This benefits us because things go bump in the night and we're not a 24/7 operation... with NPM we're able to monitor for those bumps and automate the fixes so we're not having to wake up and login for every little bump.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Check out some of the other modules from Solarwinds that works in tandem with NPM. Server & Application Manager is my favorite and there are so many more to add on to this amazing tool belt called Network Performance Monitor
