This is only being used by our IT Department. We use it to monitor our storage for performance issues as well as plan ahead for expansion. It helps us find out if certain systems need to be moved to faster storage arrays.
  • Easy to use interface.
  • Easy to set up.
  • Integrates with our other Solarwinds products.
  • Works with a lot of different storage arrays.
  • I have not found any cons of this product
It is well suited for our medium-sized environment where we have different storage arrays some have better performance than others. I can't imagine that it would be needed with a small environment where you only have 1 storage array or are not monitoring performance of the servers on different arrays.
  • We are able to plan ahead for storage expansion. This allows us to decide what we need and hold out for special discounts instead of needing to purchase right away.
  • We are able to move our systems to faster storage if they need it. This keeps systems the most productive
Didn't evaluate other products as this easily integrates with our Solarwinds System that was already in place so we did not have to have more than one monitoring system
