Window to your servers

  • December 29, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Great software, love the lay out compared to something like Logic Monitor. I also like that the software application module also can connect into there database performance analyser and pull even more stat information into the main. This software means our team is far more proactive and when the email alert comes into there mailbox they can click on a hyper link to link off to there server and go look at the problem, this means the IT department are getting press with in the company. We are not waiting for the phone to ring and then have someone complain that something has stopped working.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you have a server that has multiple DNS names there is no way that you can have a pointer that redirects you to the proper server name. There still needs to have more work done on the SQL AppInsight we get a lot of false positives, but its better than nothing, so you need to adjust the metrics.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to notify other support teams that there services that they support have stopped. This makes us look so much more on top of things, rather than the user calling to complain that something is not running and when is it going to be fixed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its easy to setup and get going... its easy to scan your network and pick up everything... so its also very easy to get information overload.

    Utilities

Solarwinds adds value to an organizations infrastructure monitoring capabilities!

  • December 27, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Event & Alert Management Tools - With Orion we have set thresholds for alerting on up/down, percent of bandwidth utilized, memory utilized, CPU utilized, disk space utilized, and much more.

Map Maker Utility - It lets us import any map - from an existing network diagram or topology map.
What do you dislike about the product?
A weak point in general for all the modules in Solarwinds is the reduced portability. The product is only available for Windows Server platforms. And our organization supports Linux Servers as well, which cannot be monitored by this s/w.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helping us monitor our network and other infrastructure components to provided uninterrupted service to our customers.

Performance monitoring at another level

  • December 27, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

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.
