I use the solution in my company for our network and network monitoring purposes.

The most valuable features of the solution revolve around areas like SNMP polling and availability. My company doesn't use APM-related features of the product. I have an understanding related to network monitoring, but I want to understand what other features SolarWinds provides and to figure out what benefits customers will get from using it. I wanted to know if SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor are cheaper or costlier than Riverbed.

The major concern in the product revolves around application performance monitoring since end-to-end application monitoring is not possible with the tool. For APM, there are products like ThousandEyes or Dynatrace that help with end-to-end app monitoring. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement in the tool. My company uses Riverbed for application performance monitoring, but I want to leverage the functionalities of SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor to take care of such areas. If possible, we can do packet capturing via SolarWinds and application performance monitoring via the tool.

I have been using SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor for five years. The product is internally used in our company.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

The solution's technical support is okay. I rate the technical support a seven out of ten.

Neutral

My company uses Riverbed for application performance monitoring.

I was doing research so that I could understand if SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor provide APM capabilities similar to Riverbed, which allows our company to get a packet capture of an entire session, and on the basis of it, we look at the application performance monitoring part. With SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor, my company does SNMP polling, so it can drag an entire session, but it focuses more on availability, CPU memory, and server connection status. In Riverbed, my company catches an entire system, so when we deal with two applications, we have end-to-end app visibility. All the application monitoring happens through Riverbed. Our company's main problem is that, as of now, we have two different products in our organization, and we don't want to continue with the multiple products currently. I wanted to understand if SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor already have capabilities like Riverbed, and if they do, then I wanted to figure out why our company should not go with SolarWinds and why we are using products from multiple vendors. My company needs to continue with either Riverbed or SolarWinds. I wanted to see which products are good for the organization and how much I want to continue with Riverbed.

The product's deployment phase is okay.

The solution can be deployed quickly.

The tool is available for my company at a good price point.

I can say that my company has integrated SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor into ServiceNow, and because of this, we are getting proper alerts. My company also gets alerts via Telegram and other sources. I have not seen any major issues in the product related to the alerting feature.

There are no issues with the integration capabilities of the product, and it provides value.

I need SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor to explain to our company the benefits of the product.

The dashboard part of the product is okay.

I rate the overall tool a seven out of ten.

One Identity Active Roles is used for provisioning and directory management.

One Identity Active Roles has excellent delegation of permissions capabilities, allowing me to isolate the help desk team and give them permissions exactly where I need them, easily. I appreciate the automations, where PowerShell scripts can do things on behalf of other staff that I do not want to give permissions to. Two-factor authentication helps ensure that people who perform actions in Active Directory have two-factor authentication enabled.

One Identity Active Roles helps by automating tasks through scripts instead of manually running scripts or doing certain things manually, allowing people with fewer privileges to run those automations instead of burdening system admins.

One Identity Active Roles has benefited my security posture by helping reduce internal exposures of permissions and by facilitating two-factor authentication for Active Directory.

One Identity Active Roles supports my provisioning and de-provisioning needs very well. It has helped increase operational efficiency by saving a lot of time and has helped reduce the number of privileged accounts.

I evaluate the ease of managing on-premises and cloud-based identity directories through a single pane of glass as fairly easy, with a learning curve that makes it very easy to maintain once you become familiar with it.

Integration capabilities are somewhere in the middle; it is not easy to integrate, but it is not the hardest thing out there.

Certain automations, possibly web apps, could be improved or simplified to make them easier. These automations are what I think could be improved.

I do not use the comprehensive group membership management feature and have not utilized the fine-grained permission control feature deeply. The process of streamlining directory security for on-premises and cloud-based directories is not particularly applicable to my organization.

I have been using One Identity Active Roles for about three years.

One Identity Active Roles has very few bugs and is actually very stable, so I would rate the stability a nine out of ten.

I am not certain if One Identity Active Roles is a scalable solution for us since we have local deployment and approximately 50 users, and scalability is not really relevant to our situation.

I rate the vendor's technical support a ten out of ten.

Positive

We tried other solutions years ago, but I cannot compare them because I do not remember the details. Upper management tried something like SailPoint, Amada, or Symantec a while ago, but that was not me and those individuals are no longer with the company.

The deployment of One Identity Active Roles probably took weeks, though it depends on what is meant by deployment.

One Identity Active Roles was purchased through a partner.

I am aware of the pricing; it is on the expensive side, though pricing is not my department.

One Identity Active Roles is not a scalable solution for our organization since we have local deployment and approximately 50 users, and scalability is not really relevant to us. It is not a global solution; it is not worldwide.

The process of streamlining directory security for on-premises and cloud-based directories is not particularly applicable to my situation. Approximately 50 users use the solution.

I would say One Identity Active Roles has reduced privileged accounts by about 30 percent. To my knowledge, it has not helped reduce identity-based breaches.

I assess the visibility that One Identity Active Roles provides into my directory ecosystem as excellent. I would rate the granular control of One Identity Active Roles as a ten out of ten.

I would recommend this product, but it depends on exactly what you are trying to achieve; conducting a proof of concept about what you would like to see is vital. It is very difficult to answer in a review because it depends on the pain points of the customer and what they are trying to accomplish. Overall, I would recommend it and I am satisfied with the product.

The vendor may reach out if they have any questions or comments about my review. My overall review rating for One Identity Active Roles is nine out of ten.
