Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor

We use SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor to monitor critical infrastructure servers and services. It is used by the IT systems and network departments to alert us to resource issues that we would otherwise not be aware of.
  • Real-time DHCP scope utilization.
  • SQL database performance metrics.
  • Detailed reporting.
  • Real-time alerts.
  • Minimizing application downtime.
  • Showing application performance trends.
  • Alerting to potential issues before they become service impacting.
This is much more full featured.
SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor would not be a good fit for a small shop with limited budget.
