Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor

Used with IT primarily. Used to monitor switch and router infrastructure as well as server farms. Used to alert on down equipment or critical issues.
  • SAM provides trending for how servers and applications are used. With this information, we can scale used systems more effectively and target our primary services.
  • Enhanced reporting on application Quality of Experience. For Example, tied with netflow data, which ip groups experience best/worst User experience.
  • Your response time to fix specific applications is dependent on SAM providing application details. We would disrupt other services, if we could not pinpoint problem applications.
SAM is well suited in any IT shop for server and application monitoring.
