Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor

SolarWinds is used to monitor our production environment. The Application Monitors are used to monitor specific resources within the application.
  • Alerts our team when a server or service is at a threshold, so we can respond accordingly.
  • Allows us to monitor custom Windows services that our application uses.
  • Adding a new application monitor to a server can sometimes be cumbersome. The flow can be improved.
  • Can't think of any other cons.
  • SolarWinds has been a great asset to our portfolio of monitoring tools. We have used it for over 10 years and will continue.
Dynatrace dives deeper into the user experience whereas SolarWinds gives a single-pane of glass into the overall health of the environment.
We only use Solarwinds for our Windows environment. I do not know how it responds with other OS Platforms.
