Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor

As a global company, SolarWinds was helpful for monitoring all of our locations in real-time and sending notifications when problems occurred. This was especially helpful with regards to having IT staff working in different time zones and locations. Frequently, the team was notified of issues before they would have been apparent, giving us a head start on correcting the issue.
  • Notifications
  • Graphical representation
  • Single location to view the status of our networks
  • False positives being reported, especially with regards to internet lag.
  • Configuration seemed difficult.
  • Time savings from early notification.
Meraki is not nearly as robust but seems to have the functionality that we utilize the most.
Great for large or geographically diverse networks. In order to fully utilize the solution, you really have to dedicate a lot of time to get things configured for your specific requirements.
