Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor
We are using SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor for:
- monitoring all the infrastructure(servers, network, applications) for uptime, performance, usage, etc.
- generating reports to analyze the performance, quality, and usage of the datacenter.
- alerting us to error situations: high usage for RAM, CPUs, reaching the limits of the storage, server down, etc.
It is used by the IT department that is responsible for the uptime, availability and quality of our datacenter.

- Monitoring servers for performance.
- A configurable alerting system -- for things like high RAM or CPU usage, disk space limits on mounted folders, unexpected shutdowns.
- Reports-- a wide selection of reports (a total of 145 in our instance).
- Performance analytics -- a nice UI feature that lets you build an analysis of the servers you need to monitor for performance issues.
- It's slow most of the times -- we are monitoring hundreds of servers from the datacenter, and going through the screens to look at your server may take some time.
- It is not monitoring all servers in our environment, maybe because of the performance issues. If I need to add one (as a user) I have to send a request to IT, and it may take a few days.
- The User Interface could use an uplift; nowadays people's requirements for usability and user experience are at a very high standard.
- Having this improved my software development team's productivity by removing the downtime due to servers being unavailable.
- It helped in maintaining our commitment to customers to have a 99.5% uptime on our internet STAR portal.
- It helped me size the software development's data center according to their real needs.
