It is a simple yet powerful tool for monitoring server and applications.

  • April 24, 2018

What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that Solarwinds had made many improvements over the past years and now they have alot of modules and products that complements each other. for SAM, it is a really powerfull tool for monitoring and knowing what is happening with the services/application. It leaves the guessing outfor us administrators. Really easy tool. You should try it now
What do you dislike about the product?
Well at first maybe you need to know a little bit more about what you want to monitor for the application part. but when you get the hand of it, its really simple and useful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are monitoring our critical applications, like middleware, web services and crm. Before solarwinds SAM, we have a hard time troubleshooting when the applications went "Slow" or unavailable. Now with the insights of SAM, we can look for the root cause of the problems very quickly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You should try solarwinds with a demo and reach out to a partner or solarwinds directly. They can do a PoC and algo help you look for the best products for you needs. Make sure you know what are your needs and let them know what are you pain points.

Expidite the resolution time for any Application

What do you like best about the product?
Versatility in monitoring with various out of the box components and the script based components.
Advanced monitoring using some of the customizable components mixed with dynamic and Advanced/SQL Alerting allow for any imaginable or experienced scenario to captured by SAM and properly alerted on.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much that you can not do with SAM. Most of my complaints or issues rally around UI and some minor functionality. Though where the out of the box measures fall short, there are many customizable options to fill the gap to obtain and provide the data and insight needed top properly run and manage multiple business critical applications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Over the years I have used SAM for Notification of downed or stalled applications and machines. This has ranged from mechanical pharmaceutical dispensers to debit card printers at local branches. Faster remediation of both clinical and pharmacy applications and devices has prevented financial and total life loss on a regular basis. Alerting on debit card printer issues allowed a Card Service Provider to better communicate and re-mediate issues with printing new debit cards before it affected clients access to their own funds.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Have a few specific idea's of implementation when demoing. If you are unable to setup a POC provide these details to your sales rep and request a tuned demonstration based around your need.

What do you like best about the product?
We use Orion performance monitor with net flow traffic analyze add on as well as the Virtualization Manager. I like the fact that you can add monitoring templates depending on the device that you want to monitor and also its great that you can create NOCs views with visual and audio alerts
What do you dislike about the product?
The tool is a little bit expensive and upgrading from one version to another is not straight forward.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are managinng more than 500 hosts and this tools help a lot to monitor each interface and let us know when something is not right.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking to monitor network devices don't forget to add the net flow analyzer add on.

Solarwinds SAM, a powerful tool which quickly becomes a necessity for your business.

  • April 23, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Log into the web console for access to a wealth of information that is available to you on your servers and the applications that run on them. There is a whole bunch of templates and alerts already available to you for both physical and virtual servers.

A multitude of information can become available from the web app by selecting from a series of tabs and dropdown menus, ideal for troubleshooting and getting to root cause of problems. You can drill down into servers to be presented with metrics dashboards which are all customisable. SAM is a complex tool that is usable with minimal training. But the more you use and learn, the more powerful SAM becomes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not enough flexibility within the supplied templates and alerts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Server and application, monitoring and event management on business criticalsystems.Reducing downtime and speeding up root cause analysis
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make use of the free trial and see for yourself!

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I use this to monitor db health on several sql servers and it's been invaluable, highlighting several *interesting* things we had no visibility of before.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tuning has been a test, but that's mostly down to the individual characteristics of our platforms.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Finding reasons for slowdowns, troubleshooting and tuning performance of the DBs
