Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor
We use SAM to monitor application and server health across the entire organization. Email alerts can easily be customized to let us know when an application service is down or not behaving up to expectations.
- Monitor services
- Monitor Active Directory health
- Some of the pre-built templates could be improved upon, perhaps with a wizard-style approach for which metrics would like to be monitored within a template
- We have not measured ROI of SolarWinds, but I know I now have much more time to be involved in patient-related projects rather than infrastructure break/fix.
I love how the entire SolarWinds platform integrates with one another. There is no hard line drawn between the products I am using. For example, I jump between NetFlow Traffic Analyzer and Network Performance Monitor seamlessly when troubleshooting issues. Server & Application Monitor is a great addition to the rest of the Orion platform allowing in a full view of the entire infrastructure, from network to servers to applications, even to the user level with the User Device Tracker product.
