SolarWinds Orion Netflow Traffic Analyzer is a must have tool.
What do you like best about the product?
What I love about NTA is that I was able to implement it quickly. It was easy to let novices or other technical personnel use the tool to get valuable information with out have to give them a lot of training, This tool is easy to learn how to use via it's intuitive user interface. It gives the ability to see what and how your network is being used.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have any major dislikes. I have been using NTA for over 10 years, I have been able to work with this tool as it has evolved and improved over that time. It is an integrated part of our network management strategy. I can't imagine not having access to this tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are continually using this tool to measure how the network is being used, I have created a number of reports that show utilization of applications and conversations, that used to track the overall use of the network and is reported monthly to upper management.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try the evaluation, In one month you you see the benefits of this tool. I know there are other tools being offered from other vendors. I have looked at them, Nothing I have found can compare to NTA.
Solarwinds SAM saved us hundreds of thousands!
What do you like best about the product?
ease of use and the flexibility to get most anything accomplished. There are few barriers from the software.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Linux and AIX monitoring is a bit harder if you are not familiar with the OS, although the new agents make this somewhat better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We started monitoring our critical applications, services and processes, but over time we started monitoring items that with the old system we couldnt afford to monitor. Today we monitor over 9000 applications compared to 250 with our old solution.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
download and play with it, youll find its very easy
Monitoring services, directories,files,event etc. done with ease
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the Real-Time Event Log Viewer, Service Control Manager, Real-Time Processor Explorer, Exchange module, Active Directory module and all the AppInsight modules.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like the ability to change gauges and remove columns and go to a blank canvas
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring services, directories, SQL, IIS and events. We are able to identify problems proactively before an application has problems or goes down. Our downtime for applications have gone down and uptime has gone up since we've starting monitoring these elements.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's simple, you need an IP address and credentials to authenticate with then the rest is easy
Solarwinds SAM reivew
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility it gives you to monitor different aspects of your environment such as websites, certificates, Exchange and many others.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the application templates can use better instructions on how to implement them, or possibility give some examples as to how they can be implemented.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use this product to monitor services on various application, we have eliminated the issue of SSL certs expiring on our websites when we setup SSL monitors in SAM.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Document the app templates better and provide step by step configurations to help people use them.
SAM - A must have for IT pro's
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the application health overview on the main SAM page, the APP Stack is a wonderful addition. The App insight for SQL and IIS is a game changer as well and we utilize it daily.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much to dislike. I wish I could afford a larger license to be able to monitor every application with SAM
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring SAP applications was a huge issue for us, we were able to use SAM to give us all the information we need.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a mandatory product. I would recommend all companies to utilize SAM for internal use.
Why the network is slow?
What do you like best about the product?
A quick NTA glance I can pin point why the network is slow and who is the culprit
What do you dislike about the product?
Slow to access the NTA, extra server for database.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Go ahead blame the network for the latency. Just a quick NTA glance I can pin point why the network is slow and who is the culprit
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you already have NPM, NTA is no brainer. NTA can be right on the desktop with NPM
One of the best traffic analyzer tools
What do you like best about the product?
NTA provides an intuitive webinterface, flows can be easily filtered and displayed. It integrates nicely into the whole Solarwinds Orion Suite with additional performance and management information.
What do you dislike about the product?
When receiving many flows the system needs to be sized properly, it is not "setup - next - next - finish - go"
sometimes clients forget this.
sometimes clients forget this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were able to get a proper sizing of MPLS lines, it saved the client money and raised user-satisfaction because each location did get a "right sized" MPLS line.
Secure Application Monitor by Solarwinds finds problems you never could put your finger on
What do you like best about the product?
I love the way that SAM gives you the full picture of your estate and monitors all Applications allowing you to quickly find the cause of issues and be prepared for them. This in turn allows you to quickly pinpoint the case of the issue
What do you dislike about the product?
To set up alarms is a bit of a faff, and can be tricky to get correct. Lots of test and trial which can be tricky finding the right fields to choose as there are so many
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Secure Application Monitor allowed us to quickly identify an application which was slowing our whole system, SAM then allowed us to monitor it and from the changes we made it improved performance of our system
Excellent Product
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to create customised application monitors. As a government department we utilise hundreds of bespoke application that do not provide monitoring tools. Using Server and Application Monitor I can create custom monitors that show when the application is not performing well and can replicate the end-user experience. It also has "out of the box" large application monitors by default (Exchange/Active Directory/SQL/IIS)
What do you dislike about the product?
A lot of customisation is required to create your own templates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The monitoring of applications that do not have monitoring tools built in.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you already have an investment in solarwinds then it's a no brainer
Very flexible and customisable solution for monitoring applications
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to write your own monitoring scripts and the community library of scripts
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes a while for the supplied monitoring scripts to catch up with the newer OS and Application releases
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Knowing about application and infrastructure outages before the users know.
