	CubeAPM	SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability
Likelihood to Recommend	Lighthusky Technologies Pvt Ltd most of the needs are covered. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	SolarWinds - For small teams serving big organizations - it's a really simple tool to install and set up relatively quickly. - the new installer is also great - I don't have to understand what modules need to be installed; it's all streamlined. - The HCO Licensing allows you to run the Additional polling engines at a scale where the previous licensing model didn't. We can deploy APEs in locations now, which would not have been worth the investment in previously as there weren't enough devices in that location/region to spend the $$$$ on an APE License.

Alternatives Considered	Lighthusky Technologies Pvt Ltd Satisfactory Verified User Anonymous Read full review	SolarWinds Solarwinds has the best overlap of the two others I've mentioned - the other two tools (Datadog and Dynatrace) are great in their own way but Solarwinds is just good at everything; if I had to pick one tool of the above, it would be Solarwinds for the compatibility and ease of use, the other tools are more focused on being great at certain things while Solarwinds is the jack of all trades.
