OpenText Storage Manager vs. SolarWinds Storage Resource Monitor (SRM)

Excellent Cloud platform that has the powerful and very stable functionalities for the easy moving of many data across the entire Cloud services and thro9ugh a very secure platform. Integration to multiple other platform on Cloud services is amazing and even the data visualization tools are the best and collection of multiple data insights across websites is amazing.

SolarWinds Storage Resource Monitor (SRM) is pretty good at forecasting capacity consumption, which was a must for us. If you have LUNs that have high latency in a normal environment (user shares, for instance), you'll need to customize the alerts to tune out the noise. As with all SW modules and most other products, there is a time lag between what is in the console and what's happening now. Data in the console and alerts are typically 5 to 15 minutes old.

• Unmasks storage performance metrics and gives a common dashboard for monitoring.
• A simple, intuitive interface for adding supported storage frames.
• Lineage -- "The guest OS is connected to the virtual host and the virtual host is connected to the ... wait, what LUN is that?!?" #SOLVED.

• The tools on data importing from multiple storage solutions is not easy.
• Setting the security when new to the tool.
• Interface configuration to the learners is turf.

It has helped me prove that we need more storage as well as faster storage to management

The software features are easily manipulated and amazing technical help offered and even the functions flexibility ie fantastic. The storage capacity available is incredible and the platform allows effective accessibility of any data from the system through a very secure environment that the tool provides. Storage utilization using the software is perfect and easy configuration.

We have a full suite of SolarWinds products and did not evaluate other options for a full package. For selective monitoring we log into the devices, but this has made that much easier as we have a dashboard rather than logging into devices one at a time.

• Any user can generate reports through this software.
• Storage of all the company data.
• Data security on this software is good.

• Real-time monitoring and alerting to surpass those of native vSphere and in some occasions, better than manufacturer written software.
• Historical monitoring of environment with charts and graphs to assist with ever changing environment loads.
