Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor

As a Database administrator, I use this tool to mainly monitor SQL Server resource utilization of (CPU, RAM, DISK etc ) and also for any database performance related issues. I also use this tool for capacity planning on the H|W resources of the servers.
  • Very good in-depth detail on memory utilization.
  • SQL Agent Jobs: I would like to see in a single report what are the SQL Agent jobs that failed on all the servers last night.
  • Database Backups: I would like to see in a single report what are the backups that failed on all the servers last night.
  • SQL Server Error Logs of all the servers in production environment in a single report.
  • Earlier I was writing my own code to track performance metrics for database servers, now I can spend that time on other things.
  • I have to maintain the code for any upgrades of SQL Server versions. No need to worry now.
Well suited for: Performance Monitoring, Resource utilisation, Capacity planning.
