Solarwinds Server and App Monitor Review | TrustRadius

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it to track service/application availability. Let's us know when a key business process fails.

Pros and Cons

Reliable
Basics are displayed easily

Need other Solarwinds modules for full utilization
Presentation could be improved significantly, often too much data on screen

Return on Investment

Ability to resolve issues more quickly.
Engage in better capacity management discussions.
Kept us from critical issues from running out of disk space.

Alternatives Considered

Logic Monitor and VCOP

We still had physical servers so VCOPs couldn't do the job at the time. It's presentation was very good though.

Other Software Used

Likelihood to Recommend

More appropriate for companies that have IT members that can dive into details and tweak settings.
