Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor

It allows for the monitoring of our network and addresses issues without user reporting.
  • Switches off line during various construction phases.
  • Ability to monitor just about anything on the network with an IP address.
  • The ability to make heat maps to see your wifi network.
  • Tracking devices that use DHCP addressing needs a lot of improvement.
  • Network atlas needs a face lift and stability needs to be addressed.
  • It was helpful when building a new network 6 years ago but it is hard to keep it running and it takes too many resources and reconfiguring of our network to make it valuable.
  • We will continue to use it but are moving much of what we do to Prime.
If we could afford a better monitoring system we would move to it.
Monitoring marginal servers for space is something it does well. Notifications may be a bit much at times, there needs to be a hold for now option.
