What do you like best about the product?
Solarwinds allows my department to rest easy knowing that if something does go down, we will know about right away.
What do you dislike about the product?
There really is not that much to dislike about this software. Only downside I can say would probably be needing to constantly update it with "nodes" but that is on my side only.

Peace of mind to know that our servers are being monitored and checked for health.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Check to see how many nodes you actually will be monitoring and choose the correct licensing to make things as easy as possible.

SolarWinds review
What do you like best about the product?
Great to use powerful software with great support
What do you dislike about the product?
Their is a lot to learn to utiloze the power of SolarWinds and it can take a while to get a handle on it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Remote access and monitoring.
Very useful software for monitoring our own applications
What do you like best about the product?
We love the integration with both AWS (Amazon Web Services) and Microsoft Azure, along with the ability to build our own monitors. We've been able to add custom Glassfish and Tomcat monitoring.
What do you dislike about the product?
Still very Microsoft focussed, it would be good to see more attention to linux. More focus also needed on removing Network Atlas
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need timely and accurate monitoring of our business applications. Our support team have been able to move away from the unreliable Nagios system, they now have a dashboard that shows them exactly what they need.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Download the trial and give it a try.
SAM is an intuitive and feature rich monitoring solution
What do you like best about the product?
We bought SAM largely for the built-in monitoring, but it has turned out to be very easy for us to build our own templates to monitor applications specific to our environment. In addition, the Thwack community permits the sharing of templates which makes the solution even more powerful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the licensing model to be less than ideal. I don't hate it, but I just don't love it. But, to be honest I have not got a better solution either.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SAM has been an important tool in our strategy to be more proactive and discover/resolve minor issues before they blow up into huge issues. Abilities such as alerting on a service crashing and automatically restarting it, or specific app templates for Exchange and SQL with a large number of items to monitor give deep insight into these mission critical apps. In addition the built in documentation does more than just tell you when something passes a threshold, it gives a reference to what the parameter means so you can determine if you need to adjust the threshold for your environment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I do not have extensive experience with competitive products, but you should take a look at this solution.
