Reliable Monitoring Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Orion allows my team to go about our day-to-day and cuts down on having to check each device on our platform manually.
What do you dislike about the product?
On occasion, the wrong distribution list would get the alarms, but that was not the fault of the application per se, as much as it is making sure your organization has a detailed notification plan mapped out before settings your orion polling engine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our Telecom team relies on Orion to send alerts when voice nodes rebooted, were up or down, or reset. This allowed us to jump to action during work-hours as soon as those alarms came into our Distribution list. The same alarms, were also visible by our NOC, so that 24/7 monitoring could successfully occur. I have suggested setting up a Service Now workflow to receive these alarm notifications to trigger ticket flows as well, that is something that can easily be leveraged with this tool.
SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor
What do you like best about the product?
It works right out of the box. Core monitoring such as availability, CPU, memory, interfaces, and volumes are done out of the box.
What do you dislike about the product?
To display non-out-of-the-box information, we need to know SolarWinds Query Language (SWQL) or SQL.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Make sure the SLAs are met for different functional areas of the infrastructure. If there are any issues, we can drill in to find the cause.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor is a good start, but other modules are needed to monitor other specific parts of the infrastructure, such as storage arrays (Storage Resource Monitor).
Great UI Experience
What do you like best about the product?
The different dashboards that you can create for various analytics related to IPs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not too configurable. Very out of the box design.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
IP conflicts and DNS mismatch
VoIP and Network Monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
Best NMS sensor for Monitor Network and VoIP packets
What do you dislike about the product?
Difficult to Install and configure, Less information internet for configuration point of view. Resource Hungry Software
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
After Setup this Amazing tool for Analysis of Network Traffic, especially when using Voice Over IP, With the help of the product of the Solar wind, we can manage our Network and fine-tune it.
The most flexible and diverse NMS tool.
What do you like best about the product?
Multi-vendor support. You can manage products of network switching from Cisco, firewalls from Paulo Alto, and WAN from any other vendors in the same place. The multi-vendor support makes this product more worthwhile purchasing since you don't need to buy a separate NMS for each and every vendor.
What do you dislike about the product?
Specific vendor NMS systems have more monitoring options and details which are not available. Solar winds have just the general tools and options for all vendors. Also, the licensing is not much flexible. The pricing can be a bit more attractive to have small-scale business solutions buy and implement this for their monitoring.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Network management includes but is not limited to hardware or software failures. Automatic backups. Bulk configuration deployments. Bulk software upgrades. Also, the tool gives detailed bandwidth utilization of each device. You can set alerts to monitor your WAN uplinks and give instant alerts if anything fails. Also you can monitor and troubleshoot any network issues related to users from the very tool. The GUI interface makes it easier to find and resolve issues with less time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you have all the features you require are supported by solar winds for the product you are planning to monitor.

Great for monitoring a large number of websites and locating the issue
What do you like best about the product?
Pingdom is great for notifying when a website goes down, and allowing analysts to start looking into the issue within milliseconds of the site losing connectivity. It also has a lot of helpful tools to help diagnose problems with websites.
What do you dislike about the product?
Due to the way that it monitors by pinging your website from other countries, if there is an internet outage from the ping location to your server it will cause false alerts, and sometimes it can make it harder to get a bead on the problem..
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allows us to monitor indiviual websites hosted on servers rather than monitoring the entire server, is a nice supplement to IIS monitoring in SCOM.
It is very nice for mange IP address for a Network Administrator.
