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.

In contrast to others, NetApp Cloud Data Sense is driven by more powerful AI algorithms that have given space for efficient automated controls and reporting that enables users full privilege over their data. The automatic discovery is trusted, with maps and data classification. Then others analyze well, structured and unstructured data in the cloud, also visualize data better.

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.
