Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"Good end-to-end monitoring"
"We use the solution to meet the needs of the customer."
"The stability is fantastic."
"The alerting and usage tracking notifications on disk space capacity, network and processor utilization."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the alerts."
"The solution is extremely stable. We haven't had any issues in that regard. We haven't had issues with bugs, glitches, or crashes."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the monitoring capabilities."
"The product is scalable."
"Network performance is the main issue clients are facing. SolarWinds checks if a node is down, and we can set thresholds for performance metrics. For example, we set it up to get an alert automatically if a value is over 80 percent. It has a full dashboard that covers CP, hard disk, and node monitoring."
"What I've found most valuable about the solution is that it's scalable."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The solution should have automatic baseline detection."
"All the features and functions of the solution can be improved."
"The console could be more user-friendly. It would be better if SolarWinds updated the user interface."
"An area for improvement would be the use of modular licenses, which are not practical for big clients."
"I would like to see some enhancement on the reporting side, such as making it a little bit easier to create reports or having a larger assortment of canned reports."
"The reporting module that got integrated into the system itself, used to be a standalone solution and I preferred that."
"A feature I would ask for is for them to have this solution available for Linux systems instead of Windows."
"It would be nice to have a test to check if you can access a particular device via API without installing it and waiting for a poll cycle. You should have the capacity to initiate a test to see if it was reachable and get the results almost immediately."
"The solution is not always good with new features, so it's take a long time."
"Scalability is a bit tricky because it requires more gateways in order to get the performance you may need. It also requires a lot of licensing."
