Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Virtualization Manager
SolarWinds Virtualization Manager is being used in our organization to help maximize our physical assets in which our virtual platform resides on. It gives us recommendations to either increase or decrease the number of CPUs and memory based on a virtual machine's performance. It also, lets us know when we have "unbalanced" hosts in our ESX cluster. It solves performance issues as well as help us get the maximum benefit from our physical assets.
- Recommendations - CPU/Memory utilization
- Storage space monitoring
- Give us a good "At a glance" picture of our overall virtual network.
- What-if Scenarios
- Not really a feature issue, but licensing can get pretty expensive.
- I really don't find any of the current features difficult to use. It's a relatively simple product.
We've looked at Turbonomic. So far SolarWinds gives us a more complete package for monitoring etc.
