Pros
"Its end-to-end dashboard provides information on all the integration callouts happening on the server side."

More Cavisson NetDiagnostics Pros →

"It's good at monitoring system-specific things like ports, services.""Features like monitoring and infrastructure dependency mapping are valuable to us.""The features like trends, capacity planning, recommendations, and diagnostics are the main items I focus on for added value.""Management Console - Managing service to each server enrolled in the Solarwinds is much easier. Using a web base console, you can control your service much convenient way. There is no need to login remotely. It save a lot of time and effort.""Solarwinds has an open database that allows you to do serious integrations. It doesn't matter which service desk you have, you can implement and integrate it with SolarWinds.""The most valuable feature of SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor is its powerful monitoring capabilities.""SSL Certificate Monitoring and Expiry Alerting""I'd rate technical support at eight out of ten. They are helpful and fast."

Cons
"They can improve on providing "help and navigation" for each feature available in the UI."

More Cavisson NetDiagnostics Cons →

"SAM's software-defined network monitoring capability is also low and could be improved.""The product does not explain why a problem occurred.""I believe that some of the trends, environmental maps, and items like those found in Orion would be very beneficial.""Mapping interactions between systems.""There is one feature that is a report writer. And they are currently trying to take it out from being a stand-alone application and integrating to the web. This doesn't give us the flexibility and it doesn't expand what we can get when it comes to reporting. So, putting it on the web is going to make it difficult to get some information. Leaving it where it is now will help us a lot.""SAM AppInsight for SQL: The ability to ignore fragmentation of specific indexes.""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.""Currently SolarWinds SAM offers AppInsight for modern versions of: IIS, Exchange, SQL Server. They have shown to be powerful and insightful tools. However, AppInsight needs to be offered for more applications: Citrix, SharePoint, AX, etc."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "I have always said SolarWinds is very “proud” of their products, meaning they are expensive. I cannot afford to purchase all the licenses I need for all the SolarWinds products."
  • "When planning for the number of licenses to purchase, make sure you understand all of the elements within an application required to really understand performance well. In our case, we quickly came to the conclusion that an unlimited license for SAM was the way to go."
  • "Nagios XI, WhatsUpGold, Uptime Software, PRTG, Manage Engine, and SpiceWorks are the other tools that have lower pricing and licensing costs. However, they can't compete with SolarWinds when it comes to the features and functionality that SolarWinds can provide."
  • "I would advise potential buyers to wait until the end of the quarter, end of year, or other time to place orders. There are actually great deals to be had at those times if your budget cycle can match up."
  • "Pricing and licensing is fair for what you get. It does have a great bang-for-the-buck appeal."
  • "SAM is not per server so the pricing model can be deceiving. If you have an enterprise environment, you will quickly exceed your licensing quickly. You should know this before going in."
  • "Understanding the counts of objects to monitor will determine the licensing need. In terms of pricing, it’s not cheap but it’s not expensive as larger vendors whose products don’t have all the features or integrations."
  • "The product might cost you $30,000 USD to buy, but scaling this solution requires the purchase of additional polling engines at $20,000 USD each."
