    The IBM Concert Fits well in below scenarios:1 - A Supply Chain Team Needs Real‑Time Scenario Modeling2 - When a large enterprise is stuck in spreadsheets, several files, inconsistent assumptions, and a month‑long forecasting cycle. The IBM Concert Automates data consolidation from ERP, CRM, and HR systems, and provides a single, governed model for all contributors. IBM Concert is less appropriate for Small Teams that Primarily Use Spreadsheets.

    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.

    So far we have been happy with the program and believe that it will grow with us as we continue to grow and thrive. This program has scalability for smaller to large companies allowing you to grow together. It is a learning curve but once learned it really is a time saving program.

    I would say that any new users will require adequate time to get used to the application interface. Other than that, the overall look and feel looks great, like other applications.

    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
