Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor

We use SolarWinds & Application Monitor in our organization to monitor business-critical systems that require 99.999% uptime. This has proven to be extremely important, especially during high volume times like the holidays. Many of our customers rely on us to ensure that they can make their sales numbers and goals. These tools give us early indications of any potential outage or issue that allows us to actively manage the availability of our systems.
  • SolarWinds is an industry-recognized tool that plays quite nicely with RFC compliant systems.
  • I would like to see more integration with CRM tools.
  • While we have invested a lot of money in using this product, I must honestly admit that I truly believe that we are receiving the return on investment over the years.
SolarWinds has a one up on Amazon S3 SSS.
We love the fact that all interfaces are easily identified and configurable. In most cases, we can simply point to our devices and have the tool start monitoring. We have run into a few cases of having to do a little bit of digging for customers and homegrown apps, however, for the most part, the tools perform as advertised.
