Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."It allows us to easily troubleshoot computer issues instead of calling a tech person or do the troubleshooting ourselves and taking the time to do it."
"MetricsView allows us to keep an eye on computer memory, internal network availability, processors, etc. Letting us know where our issues are coming from based on those numbers."
"It shows us not only when utilization is high, but also when it is low."
"It covers everything from end to end, from the standpoint of endpoint machines and the routers and switches. The switch port also comes there."
"I like SolarWinds support because it's 24/7. You describe your issues, your situation and maybe two or three hours later you can discuss a solution with a technical engineer."
"The solution is easy to install and it takes a couple of hours."
"With just three modules, I can monitor server performance (whether it’s a VM, in the cloud, or an on-premises server."
"From web interfaces to custom monitors and alarms, this product has a high level of flexibility that can be molded to suit your business needs, regardless of the size of your organization."
"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 alerting and usage tracking notifications on disk space capacity, network and processor utilization."
"An online app or download would be useful for the next release, possibly even a phone app that I could use to view my dashboard when I am stationed remotely."
"Time: A worldwide deployment can be confusing for dispersed users with non-local times. Each node should have a local time (with summer offset if appropriate) & each user should view & report in their local time."
"We also had to be attentive to vulnerabilities, because SolarWinds NPM have some issues in that area. We had to work with our security team, so that they could help us check and backup the data, and check what they needed to secure."
"GUI needs improvement with a more graphical dashboard."
"The integration with the APIs and the web servers deployed can definitely be improved."
"Application Performance Monitoring should be included in this solution."
"The integration needs to be improved."
"If they did some type of synthetic monitoring, it would have been better."
"The dashboards for this solution could be improved. We would like to divide the dashboards to give a clear view to our management team to show what we have and what deficiencies exist in our network."
