Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor
SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor is being used explicitly by our IT staff, however, it's capabilities stretch to various departments. One of the key components allowed us to monitor our online banking environment and know exactly when an issue happened, and exactly what happened. We were able to monitor windows services and task schedules to provide real-time value and analytics to fix issues immediately.
- Consistent service monitoring.
- Schedule task execution status.
- Reliability!
- Set-up is cumbersome!
- The GUI for services is clunky.
- Sometimes downed services don't report.
- Pay your IT people to use their brains for new technology, not consistently put out fires!
- Helps make our customers happy.
I've used What's up Gold before and it's nothing like SolarWinds. SAM allows you to take it to the next level and get more real-time data and analytics of a machine other than just "it's up" or "it's down" or "it has a 1000MS response time. You'll know more details about the device in question than the basic "ping" tests.
