SolarWinds Monitoring software review
What do you like best about the product?
A lot of features to monitor/alert/resolve issues
What do you dislike about the product?
some training required to use it to its full potential
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
monitoring of critical systems is accomplished using a mix of custom and out of the box monitoring options
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great and full featured monitoring solution. It can be used to apply out of the box templates or create custom monitoring solutions fora variety of software and solutions.
PaperTrail is a great cloud product
What do you like best about the product?
Setup is extremely easy, it took less than 5 minutes to setup my first log.I love the idea that it's an easy to configure solution. I think this will prove to be more reliable of a solution than using email reports or local storage solutions. I think setting up email alerts took way longer to implement.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the jump in cost from the free version to the equivalent storage space in the paid version, to get the same amount of storage after the free trial, you have to go from $0/ month up to $150/ month. . I dislike that they don't have a SMS alerts option, I feel like that would be a logical next step. Another feature I would to see, and I'm surprised they don't offer, unless I missed it, is the ability to send these logs / alerts to Solarwinds MSP, which does give me push notifications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
An easy, consolidated, cloud access solution for all the various logs I need to keep track of. I'm not super experienced with it, but it looks like I can setup a wide variety of devices to send their logs to papertrail
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For servers/ workstations the setup is straightforward, and takes virtually no time at all. More specialized devices/ platforms will take more knowledge and setup time. I don't think I've ever seen a pre-built solution for logs like this. It would take far more work to setup manually.
Peace of Mind about your app
What do you like best about the product?
I use the papertrail extension in Heroku and it works really well, it gives nice reports about what’s happening and what happened with my Rails app.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the output is not helpful, but it was because of how I had configured it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I want to have better coverage of my app, papertrail helps with that.
Visibility we need
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it's a single pane of glass for everything on the network. It allows us to quickly see what's up and down in seconds.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it can run a little slow, but that could be on the back end causing that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's great for alerting us when something is going wrong, when we can't be looking at everything.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Really dive into what it's capable of because it can really bring a lot of benefit.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
