Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Engineer's Toolset

We use quite a few of the tools in the toolkit. We use the MIB Browser, the Config Uploader and Downloader, Ping, TraceRoute, network Port Mapper, MAC Scanner, network discovery tool, etc. They've all solved their individual problems, but the fact that we have them all in a central location with any of the admins available to access makes troubleshooting and being proactive very handy.
  • Multitude of tools in one set.
  • Wide variety of uses for the kit.
  • Addresses proactivity and reactivity well.
  • I wish it looked a little better on the eyes. It looks a bit dated in some of the tools.
  • Config Downloader
  • Port Mapper
  • Network stress testing/monitoring
  • Quicker monitoring for new devices.
  • Easier visibility into more of the network.
  • Quick troubleshooting tools.
We honestly didn't look at much beyond this because of all of the tools this toolset had in it. We found a use for a good chunk of them right away, and are finding more every month it seems like. We really wanted to make use of the majority of the tools included so we could feel like were getting our money's worth.

It's well suited for a wide variety of things just because there are so many tools included in the kit. You really have most everything you would need in troubleshooting or being proactive with everything included. To some it can seem overwhelming though based on the amount of things in one area though, so it does take some getting used to getting around and finding what you want before diving in to fully use it all.
