Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."I like it that one can match IPs with the application name."
"The capability of analysing each individual transaction captured to a very low level detail (method call/line of code)."
"The product is very useful to find problems in middleware for the application servers, especially agent instrumentation and management is user friendly."
"Clicks to root cause - fast & easy to diagnose and deep-dive"
"Synthetic transactions, WMI and SNMP query capability."
"Browsermetrix, which is real-user monitoring via JS injection and linked back to TTW via cookie. It allows us to see the experience of every user hitting our sites and analyze performance by region, browser, etc."
"As an Administrator, before we bought this AppInternals, I didn't have visibility on why items were slow or why an application was not running. This gives us the ability to see what's going on. The application is load balancing. We can now see if its own server has issues or just one specific server has issues."
"Transaction Tracing is the most useful. Being able to have the transaction stitched together so we can see where the problem is has proven invaluable."
"The most valuable feature is the Access Rights Manager."
"It's good at monitoring system-specific things like ports, services."
"I adore the NTA module that provides deep details on ingress/egress traffic for any interface. With a few clicks, you can correlate who is accessing what and when, beside the bandwidth consuming applications/users."
"SolarWinds is a very stable platform compared to others on the market."
"Hardware health: It allows for proactive monitoring of the hardware health and is a game changer."
"AppInsight. Provides a simple way to get very in-depth monitoring configured for our most popular applications. Exchange, SQL, and SharePoint."
"Manage Groups: The capability to group appropriate devices gives better visibility of sites, categories, or critical regions. The same can be used to represent a dashboard for higher management."
"The component and cable monitoring are good. SolarWinds is more intuitive and user-friendly than AppDynamics. The AppDynamics console is more complex because it's a more feature-rich solution, so it's not easy for somebody to pick it up."
"Support for PHP, DB and other applications need to be supported."
"They should find a way for report generation from TTW to run quicker."
"We have put in a request as an enhancement that we would like to search for items. If we're searching for a URL and we want to know was it a get or was it a post."
"The admin dashboard could be easier as it takes a little bit of time to get used to it."
"We'd like to be able to find out performance problems on application class and methods."
"It would be great if the solution could offer fixed bundles and more features."
"I would like for it to have automated updates, the way the product updates itself should be all automated, as opposed to what it is now."
"The recording mechanism for synthetic transactions could be improved as well."
"In terms of the dashboards on offer, they should work to improve them. The types of dashboards that you get in terms of the graphs on offer aren't ideal right now."
"An additional feature that would improve this solution is the ability to complete root cause analysis."
"It should also be easier to upgrade SolarWinds. AppDynamics is harder to deploy but easier to upgrade. So AppDynamics takes a lot of time and effort to install, but you can upgrade it in minutes. SolarWinds is the opposite. It's easy to deploy, but upgrades take forever. To date, nobody can complete it on time, so the production environment is sitting idle."
"Solarwinds should come up the same monitoring system for other certificate expiration alert apart from SSL."
"Nodes in Azure are able to be monitored with the use of agents, but this does not apply to cloud service offerings that are not node based."
"SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor could improve the server monitoring and the web application monitoring features are not good. Microsoft SCOM has better server monitoring."
"Mapping interactions between systems."
"The major concern in the product revolves around application performance monitoring since end-to-end application monitoring is not possible with the tool."
