Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor
We use SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor in our small datacenter to monitor all endpoints, as well as our physical and virtual server infrastructure. We also use SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor to monitor all CISCO networking equipment, and our APC server racks. Access to SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor is mostly restricted to our NetOps team, but the entire IT shop has read-only access to several monitoring-only dashboards. SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor dashboards provide a nice at-a-glance overview of system status and network health.
- SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor provides a clear overview of system health.
- When configured correctly, SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor provides up/down status at a glance.
- SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor integrates well into numerous devices to provide management capabilities.
- The install process could be more stable, there were many pre-req's.
- Menu could be more intuitive.
- Reduced management time.
- Reduced forensic analysis of problem devices.
There was never any real competition. SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor was always our top runner.
