Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor
We use Server & Application Monitor to monitor our Windows, Linux, and VMWare environments. It helps us keep track of services that are critical, disk space, and even SSL Certificate renewals. Multiple departments use Server & Application Monitor because it helps address the need for immediate notification of issues on mission-critical systems for our company.
- Track service uptime.
- Track dependencies and control alerting accordingly.
- Easy to configure and get a basic foundation working quickly.
- Can take a while to get all facets of the program configured.
- Needs multiple servers to be installed as recommended.
- Can be complicated to integrate alert notifications into other ticketing systems.
- Highly customizable and enabled us to replace an aging and obsolete monitoring system that was not as flexible.
- Better insight into our SLA metrics.
- Better monitoring and alerting when an issue arises.
Compared to PGRT, SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor is easier to use and set up. It has much more granular controls and settings.
