Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Virtualization Manager

We use it to manage our VMware servers. We use it to monitor and help manages these servers and address issues as they arise. It gives us the ability to plan for future growth with measuring CPU utilization, memory and HDD space.
  • The proactive monitoring.
  • Ability to troubleshoot issues.
  • Reporting on usage.
  • Future planning for HDD space.
  • Very costly.
  • Resource utilization on the server it resides.
  • Lack of reporting on EtherChannel.
  • The recurring cost.
  • Cut down on troubleshooting time.
  • Makes the team proactive.
Better performance monitoring. Was able to see bottlenecks in our network that we were able to address. Ability to set thresholds and critical warning
alerts to match our specific business needs and parameters. The predefined reports helped us with metrics to ensure the health of our VMs.
Well suited for our VMware environment. Was able to show us where the bottlenecks were. Was able to reclaim virtual resources by controlling VM sprawl.
