    It's ideal for large IT infrastructures that have access to huge amounts of data and to proactively identify issues before they occur. It can automate repetitive tasks and responses, which helps with early resolution. It is not suitable for smaller setups with less data as it leads to a huge cost burden on the business.

    - 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.

    - Breadth of service—Event and incident management, Automation capabilities, root cause analysis—IBM's brand image As I was not involved in the purchasing decision, I am not aware of all the reasons why this product was selected.

    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.
