Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor
At my current company, we use SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor (SAM) to monitor both internal and externally hosted servers. This includes both virtual and physical boxes as well as both Windows Servers and LINUX flavors. We use Server & Application Monitor (SAM) in everything from Up/Down monitoring to memory, disk, CPU usages. We monitor processes and services and can create alerts based on these monitors.
Pros
- SAM keeps historical data on usage so it is great to forecast resource needs such as RAM and CPU.
- Alerts can be greatly customized and anyone from the local admin to the app owner can be alerted on the issue.
Cons
- Hard to say what features are missing since it's more of the training of the user and their imagination which is most likely the bottleneck in most deployments.
- Using Server & Application Monitor (SAM) our Infrastructure team knows what's happening and will happen before our clients feel an impact and that is priceless.
In the past, we had tested other monitoring products yet none compared to the features that one fines in Server & Application Monitor (SAM).
