Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor
We use SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor to monitor our servers, switches, and routers. We need to be aware of resource usage, preventative maintenance issues, and quick reporting of failures. We also like to watch trends in usage and the application provides good tools for monitoring. Using the data allows us to plan accordingly for maintenance events and hardware upgrades.
- Monitors Windows IIS for responsiveness.
- Monitors SQL servers and gives us insight into what resources need to be modified.
- Monitors our applications on our LInux DHCP/DNS servers for responsiveness.
- Need a tie to firewall/security applications.
- More templates, easier template creation.
- More feedback when adding applications, hard to know what is failing when setting up.
- Our IT Staff is able to work on more projects because the monitoring software keeps a finger on operations.
- Knowing how an application is running is critical. We have a few self-created software applications and the monitoring software allows us to know how the system is responding.
- It's nice to have a single pane of glass for all of our applications.
