Excellent solution for Server and Application Monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor is a very robust solution for Server and APM. There are many templates, most supported or developed by the SolarWinds community to monitor various solutions/systems. The solution is very customizable in that you can create custom monitors using many different methods.
What do you dislike about the product?
This solution is great our of the box, however, for custom applications it does take some time to get it setup and running to peak performance. Also, no one environment is a like and therefore industry best practices do not always work so this solution does take time to tune to the specific environment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted to be able to monitor all systems and applications from a single source using a solution that was easy to maintain and manage for all users. Since implementing Server and Application Monitor, we have add onto it with the suite of SolarWinds products that has enhancing our monitoring of our network and provided more insight into issues as well as help us discover issues before they impact our end-users. Our uptime is better that with our previous solutions due to the fact that APM can monitor applications and provide historical data to make alerting decisions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the trial and make sure that it works for your needs prior to purchase as this can be expensive depending on your footprint, however, it may also be worth it!
SolarWinds
What do you like best about the product?
I have used multiple solarwinds products from the net flow traffic analyzer to the server and application monitor. The SAM is used to monitor the servers and applications your company has. I use it at my current job to monitor over 200 servers and it gives me real time polling data when I need it, I was able to set it up to give me a software inventory of all the servers we have and that helped ensure that all servers were running the right security software among many other softwares.

Amazing product

Gives so much insight into the real performance of your website
What do you like best about the product?

There's no free basic version. There is a trial version for 14 days, but a free, basic version would be welcome for smaller companies.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A client mentioned that he "felt" his website was slow. After implementing Pingdom, we could see that usually it wasn't slow, but sometimes it was.
After investigating the the slower loading times we were able to tackle the problem.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Not knowing there are errors on your website or not knowing that your website's performance is bad will cost you a lot more than Pingdom.
Make sure you have a monitoring software. Other platforms are more expensive and give you the same basic insights in order to solve problems.

Great Monitoring System!
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is super clean, the monitors are dead simple to set up and the option to have checks from all over the world really help us to hone in on issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost has gotten a bit higher over the years, but it's a good product, so it's mostly worth the cost. The alerting system has gotten a little more complicated as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Proactively know when there are issues, provide manicured dashboards to clients
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you are allowing ICMP traffic to interfaces/sites you want monitored and make sure you have your alerting set properly, it can generate a lot of alerts in some cases.
Great GUI interface, used by many healthcare firms for networking
What do you like best about the product?
Love how expandable the software is. Allowing for basic to detail control and monitoring of server infrastructure and network maintenance and administration.
What do you dislike about the product?
Dislike that most firms I've worked at only use Solarwinds for network monitoring, and not utilizing the ability for it to control and convert more raw data for monitoring and configuration through its add-ons.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Taking monitoring data and utilizing it to preset to higher ups. Utilizing it to control physical server infrastructure. Building customized GUI interfaces for specific department uses.
