Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Virtualization Manager (VMAN)

We use VMAN with our current SolarWinds Orion Monitoring to provide a single pane of a glass monitoring solution for the different segments of our IT Infrastructure. This allows our Global Service Delivery Team to monitor our Infrastructure in multiple regions at once, and help decrease our TTR for issues that arise.

Pros

  • Integrates with other SolarWinds Products
  • Integrates to monitor Third Party Products
  • Provides capacity planning predictions
  • VM management across multiple platforms

Cons

  • Performance optimization for web interface
  • More modular services
  • Integrated reporting plugins
  • More mature scripting abilities
  • TTR for VMWare issues reduced by 30% for Incidents
  • TTR for Virtualization issues overall reduced by 46% across all products monitored
  • Administrative creep reduced to Tier 1 and 2 support
We chose SolarWinds for the price point, the ability for Single Pain of Glass monitoring for Dashboards, and having a single vendor to support all our monitoring needs.

Yes

Would you buy SolarWinds Virtualization Manager (VMAN) again?

Yes

I would recommend Virtualization Manager to any colleague that already has a SolarWinds Implementation, or is looking to implement a SolarWinds Monitoring Solution. The licensing and support for one product are much simpler than mixing products. If a colleague is already full into another solution such as Operations Manager and SCCM, then I think I would recommend something along with the Microsoft Family of monitoring products.
