Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor

SolarWinds brings our uptime up by allowing fewer people to monitor applications and servers in a single application with a great notification system. Previously, I had been using a variety of programs that this new one suite can do. It is easy to use. In addition, the option to prioritize notifications allows for better and more accurate resource allocations.
  • Ease of use, simple and easy to set-up and issue.
  • Priced right for our organization.
  • Having so many modules, can take some doing to understand what you need or want.
  • Additional mobile app/device monitoring.
  • Positively improved our response time to issues.
  • Improved reliability of systems by being able to better cross train staff on system monitoring.
When balancing cost, previous staff experience with other products, and the ease of implementation and use yielding immediate value made SolarWinds a great choice. Cost and ease of implementation were very important. Module purchasing with other useful options on the menu was great and enticing as well. Reputation for SolarWinds is solid and useful for marketing to executive staff.
If you have a wide variety of systems, and perhaps some rarely used or interacted systems, this is a great tool for monitoring servers and applications. In addition, if your staff is small, can greatly empower those that you have to keep an eye on more. Easy to use and train to newer staff. Notifications are easy to set-up and modify.

ROI

It is easy to use, with clear and easy to understand controls. Really can't go wrong with any Solarwinds product, and this is no different. Big thing, just easy to use, so you are more likely to use it. Do not need a difficult to use tool. It is as straight fwd as any other solarwinds app.
Yes - Yes, solarwinds replaced a variety, hodge podge of unrelated products. This allowed us to operate under a single product suite, utilizes products that are industry standards, and reduce training by having products that are easy to use. This was easier to use and more effective. Also, easier support one product suite, that the random list of products we had before.
