Performance monitoring at another level
What do you like best about the product?
SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor allows monitoring to become much more than traditional monitoring. With SAM you can see the actual performance of the applications - what the end user experiences, not just what's happening on the hardware. There are many built in monitors so getting started is actually very easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
SAM is simple to set up, but can be complex to fully implement. This is actually a feature and a good aspect of the system, but can be difficult or discouraging for new users to the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We now monitor what the users see. In other monitoring solutions you can see metrics on the servers and up/down status, but not really see performance. With SAM we get both.

Download the free trial and see for yourself.

We use Johnson Controls and SolarWinds for similar roles, in overseeing.
SAM Does It All
What do you like best about the product?
Out of the box, you are ready to monitor your entire network. The agentless design makes it easy to deploy across your network
What do you dislike about the product?
Monitoring your entire environment may require multiple pollers There is a limit of 12,000 components per poller, which can be used up quickly depending upon what is being monitored.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were able to monitor all servers, their application status, and hardware components with a single tool
Monitoring for any and all applications
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility of the custom script monitors opens up the world for my app metrics.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of real-time polling capabilities without agents
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We monitor all of our infrastructure applications through URL checks, service and process monitors, performance monitoring, log file parsing, and custom *nix and PowerShell scripts for everything else.
Near Real-Time Notifications when things go down
What do you like best about the product?
The dashboards and alerts that let us know when something is down, often before the phone calls and emails start coming in.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI can be difficult to navigate at times as it's too cluttered, especially on smaller screens.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Not knowing when servers, websites, etc are down or having issues.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Configure your MIBs right and you'll have a great reporting tool with easy to see alerts in your dashboard and notifications. Extremely helpful for physical server monitoring in a world that's rapidly moving to virtual servers and cloud-based software as a service.
Essential Monitoring For Your IT Environment
What do you like best about the product?
The ability for this software to give real time information about devices that you have added as well as to provide forecasting capabilities so that you can plan ahead.
What do you dislike about the product?
Setting up the some of the alerts are not as straight forward as I would like and you may have to do some custom scripts for some aspects depending on what you are trying to achieve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to be alerted about any issues that occur on our network. Be it high CPU utilization, low disk space, virtual machine loss of connectivity, node disconnection and high link utilization. Thus allowing us to identify the issue quickly and implement a solution.
Great for monitoring applications
What do you like best about the product?
flexibility to monitor many applications
What do you dislike about the product?
Interface needs updating seems a bit dated now
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making sure our servers are running 5 nines
Solid Performance / Ease of Use
What do you like best about the product?
Easy setup. Great out of the box detail for SNMP. There is very little need for any customization, particularly with Cisco deployments. Graphs and History are well maintained and easy to reference.
What do you dislike about the product?
Initial purchase and maintenance are a bit expensive. Large deployments require additional pollers which add to cost, maintenance, and internal resources needed when some competitive products can achieve the same level of performance from one server.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring of a large campus network infrastructure. We have been able to automate alerts, provide proactive alerting of equipment failing but not yet out of service. Also reporting provides useful information for decision making in regards to performance, capacity, and replacement intervals for network devices.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Evaluate open source options, consider internal technical expertise if you are entertaining the open source route. Evaluate commercial products using a trial period of 90 days if possible.
Solarwinds SAM, keeping an eye on stuff so I don't have to.

The ability to set custom email alerts, so that even when we are "closed" we can keep an eye on things.
What do you dislike about the product?
The default metrics tend to need a bit of tweaking.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're a small shop and being able to keep an eye on so much in a single pane is such a blessing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is definitely worth your time to try out.
