Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor

SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor is used to monitor and manage the information technology infrastructure of our organization. Therefore, it is actually installed as an agent on all server layers.

The biggest business problem it helps us is that it enables us to continuously run our system with the data coming from SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor.
  • Easily view everything you want with templates.
  • Installing agents is very easy.
  • Easy to generate reports.
  • Automatically discover systems environment and after start monitoring instantly.
  • Sometimes it gets slow when I want to login.
  • Sometimes you can make it difficult to configure.
  • Our business is not IT, but we make money with the services provided by IT. For this reason, if the IT infrastructure does not work, we will suffer.
  • We need to have systems working 24/7, but no one in IT needs to work at night.
I have tried and researched many products including Cacti, Zabbix, Dynatrace, as far as I have read the best crafted product among them is SolarWinds. [Already], SolarWinds company is the most successful company that has proven itself in issues such as monitoring and logging.
Our servers and applications must work continuously, according to the 24/7 rule. Depending on the size of our information systems infrastructure, the number of our experienced personnel in this field is not sufficient. For this reason, we take advantage of the experience SolarWinds has developed over the years, and we benefit from the workload from time to time by being informed through alerts only when there is a problem.
