The organization maintains a vast array of resources requiring real-time event monitoring and alerting. The requirement was to identify a product that could monitor the entire technology stack from physical hardware to applications for on-premises, private cloud, and public cloud workloads and also provide application and database performance metrics, growth patterns, and usage patterns. HCO allows us to monitor not only these basic metrics but also provides functionality that goes beyond our initial requirement. Some examples are the ability to monitor the state and health of Active Directory, Exchange, and Sharepoint. Other extended capabilities that we are utilizing are the Application and Database performance analysis and Office365 and Azure workloads.
  • Automated dependency mapping is a big hit.
  • High availability is extremely simple to implement.
  • Simple to use and drill into issues.
  • Analysis of growth patterns driving the recommendation engine.
  • The documentation is vast making is somewhat difficult at times to locate what I needed.
  • User and group access configuration is overly complex and not well explained.
For mid-market and larger, HCO provides a highly available single pane of glass. The user and group management provides a granular ability to deploy to the various areas of the support and engineering teams. Integration to ITSM platforms ensures that information from the platform flows in real time to the right people.
  • Vast array of native monitoring templates.
  • SAML capability.
  • Holistic environment and dependency monitoring out of the box.
  • Provided the opportunity to offboard a number of monitoring tools that are no longer required.
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 consultation were lacking, which was assumed to be a reflection of the support experience.

- It's used for day-to-day alerting on our infrastructure so that relevant teams can take action items before becoming a problem. - Its main use is for infrastructure monitoring, server and network equipment & is used lightly with some application monitoring. - The Long term goal is to make more use of the product, as we have a number of modules that are currently not being taken advantage of.
  • Modern Dashboard are a big improvement over legacy Orion views.
  • It's really the most straight forward tool for non SME's as you can just point it at a device and monitor most things out of the box by just providing a credential.
  • Having all aspects of monitoring under one tool is a really nice touch and while SW isn't the best in every single aspect of the stack it does a pretty good job at most things which helps eliminate tool sprawl.
  • 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.
- For small teams serving big organizations - it's a really simple tool to install and set up relatively quickly. - the new installer is also great - I don't have to understand what modules need to be installed; it's all streamlined. - The HCO Licensing allows you to run the Additional polling engines at a scale where the previous licensing model didn't. We can deploy APEs in locations now, which would not have been worth the investment in previously as there weren't enough devices in that location/region to spend the $$$$ on an APE License.
  • Server / Network Monitoring.
  • Alerting + Basic Reporting.
  • In a crowded market, it's getting less and less easy to say Solarwinds is considerably better value for what you get compared to other industry leaders.
  • The release of the new Observability product is pricing itself in line with products like Datadog and Dynatrace but these are typically tools users are getting away from due to the cost. The advantage of SW was it was always the best value for your $$.
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 use, the other tools are more focused on being great at certain things while Solarwinds is the jack of all trades.

Having all modules under one license makes licensing renewals easier. We were running several instances of Orion, across multiple sites and authorities, this made overall management of the platform complicated. In addition, we required multiple additional web pollers. Using the conventional licensing system meant budgets and POs needed to be arranged when a new poller was required. Observability licensing addresses these issues and gave a lot more functionality, as observability has a complete suite of modules, for example, unlimited APEs and web Pollers (node count permitting) NetFlow, device tracker, Ipam…etc. The observability platform gives us a complete holistic view of the network and devices, With the use of additional polling engines is required, we can use all the modules to help troubleshoot, for example, If we had a device with a malicious event/log detected by our security team, we can use device tracker to locate the device and shut the switch port, we can also use NetFlow to identify what traffic an src and DST IP addresses. Another example is how useful Ipam is, when static ranges and DHCP are added to Ipam, this will detect scope usage and duplicate IP addresses.
  • unlimited APEs included
  • all modules under one platform
  • overall cost savings when compared to buying multiple APEs and modules, NetFlow NCM, Ipam, etc.
  • Orion maps needs to be able to map to groups like atlas can by name
  • web tool set integration, atm this needs to be removed from the server to install Observability
For example, tracing malicious devices. Another example is how useful Ipam is, when static ranges and DHCP are added to Ipam, this will detect scope usage and duplicate IP addresses as well as device config backups, site maps, wifi monitoring
  • Ipam
  • APEs
  • device Tracker
  • NCM
  • SAM
  • one license requiring 1 PO to be raised
  • sharing costs between departments for monitoring under one platform using APEs
