Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor
Our company utilizes SolarWinds SAM software to visualize what end users are experiencing; from time to complete tasks, to server process monitoring the SolarWinds SAM software manages our entire server infrastructure. We have tried other products in the past but the SolarWinds SAM pays for itself in configuration/installation time alone. The preconfigured options covered all the servers we have on our network.
- Monitor the time it takes for users to perform a process.
- Server and Application monitor does a great job at managing DHCP servers and all their many processes.
- Solarwinds SAM does a great job at monitoring windows services.
- Alerting being built into the web interface.
- Reporting engine being built in.
- Solarwinds has helped us minimize application downtime and find processes that had problems restarting.
- Solardwinds SAM helped us see that a backup process was inhibiting users from connecting to a critical service.
We took a look a Cacti and Nagios but the configuration time made Solarwinds the hands down choice.
