SolarWinds Observability
Chose SolarWinds Observability
- SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability is less expensive
- SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability does more right out of the box
- Splunk is more highly configurable
Chose SolarWinds Observability
The primary motivator to disqualify PRTG was the limit of nodes. Above 10,000 nodes are required, and an additional separate primary polling host. This would have meant managing two separate instances and was not an acceptable or viable approach. The sales support and …
Chose SolarWinds Observability
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 …

  • Please fix the time zones issue. Events are in UTC, Charts in the user's Local Time, Alerts come in through with Main Server timestamp - it's all over the place & it's been like that for so long. We are a large corp, the teams span time zones and trying to work with teams across the globe is made so difficult by this.
  • The inability to ingest the tags from AWS Cloud watch and the countless posts / feature requests on thwack complaining about this that just get ignored. It's such a basic feature of Cloud & I don't want to have to own a different product to use such an fundamental part of cloud.
  • Maintenance Windows - why can we not set a reoccurring window from the web ui in 2022?
  • SAM - Manage applications, why is there no search bar to filter through applications. When you scale out to enterprise size this is so annoying trying to guess which page to land on to find the application / device I'm looking for.
  • http://hostname/Orion/APM/Admin/Applications/Default.aspx
  • Half baked features being released - Log Analyzer shipped with no resources for the node details page. The Free version from 2016 had more available in it.
