Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor

SolarWinds is being used to monitor the servers on our VMware system. It reports when a server is having problems and allows us to fix the problems quicker than waiting for the users to report an outage. SolarWinds will normally point to the server that is not working, whereas when the users report an outage we must hunt for what the problem really is.
  • If a server is down or not responding SolarWinds will tell us exactly which server needs attention.
  • When a switch goes down or loses connection SolarWinds will tell us so we can have the network group fix the problem.
  • SolarWinds does not provide much help with slow response problems.
  • Much improved up time.
If something is broken (network or server) it is very good at pointing to exactly what needs to be worked on. It is not as much help with slow response problems. Sometimes it can help with slow response but that is not its high point.
