Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor

We use it to monitor our internal infrastructure's overall health. We have set up notifications with it so it can give us up to date information on resource usage on all our server and networking equipment.
  • Email notifications
  • Broad view of the infrastructure
  • Lots of information that it provides
  • Ease of connecting with our environment
  • Good support by SolarWinds
  • Sometimes a bit TOO much information
  • UI can be overwhelming at first glance
  • Troubleshooting performance issues
  • Good information
  • Keeps IT up to date with what's going on
  • None
It was here when I started and looks towork great so far!
When you have a lot of devices and a small IT team, it allows for quick information.
