Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor
It has helped with automated scripts running via Scheduled tasks. When they go down, so do our automated processes. Some small and some very important tasks that need to stay running. We also use it for SQL Events which the Dev team uses for keeping their applications up and running for the company.
- It has pretty descriptive errors that it can capture. This greatly helps and improves troubleshooting.
- It is easy to see when something is not running and the added alerts help with our support promptness.
- Once we enabled the alerts, we were actually able to find issues that we didn't even know we had
- Sometimes it takes some time to make sure alerting is setup right.
- Some of the setup is not straight forward and needs a little research.
- Our Dev team gets real live data on performance and sees issues before they become bigger problems. This helps keep the company moving and keeps the money flowing.
- Restating the above for our infrastructure team and their scheduled tasks. Seeing when they are stopped or having issues, gives us time to fix before halting the company from making money. That is our Main ROI right there.
- Overall the business is running better and have been able to make improvements using SolarWinds.
