    IBM Watson AIOps is well suited for IT Asset Management tasks due to its insightful dashboard that leads our IT Team to track IT Asset usage/requirements in real-time. We have also enjoyed using the reports provided for IT Asset Management which we provide to our upper management team for predictive budgeting purposes. We found that IBM Watson AIOps is not as well suited for our Application resource automation as the tuning (aggressiveness) is not as tunable as we would like.

    Some of equipment does not support correct monitoring of particular errors via standard SNMP requests (example - Juniper SRX licenses expiration). In this case getting and analyzing syslogs as well as creating event-based alerts/notifications brings great relief of a network administrator life! The second case - is a simple analyzing firewall log events as SolarWinds Log Analyzer (LA) can keep logs for a longer time than an equipment built-in tool.

    IBM Watson AIOps stacks up well with Turbonomic because it basically is Turbonomic. IBM added Turbonomic's feature set into IBM Watson AIOps and we were therefore quite comfortable shifting to the re-branded version introduced by IBM. We do like the fact that IBM Watson AIOps includes the functionality of Turbonomic.

    Based on my personal experience SolorWinds Log Analyzer is the best product on the market. Splunk Enterprise is the other system we use for monitoring but it's more complicated and requires extra skills Moreover Solarwinds Support Team response fast to any issues
