Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."InfoVista 5View NetFlow allows us to control the application layer and manage API connections, i.e. Facebook logins or whatever other third-party API services we require."
"The most valuable feature is application monitoring."
"I find it to be a strong product suite, particularly when you need a comprehensive monitoring tool."
"I am impressed with the tool's AppStack feature which mainly helps us in the identification process. This feature can give an overview of the fault and help us identify the issues for performance degradation. Instead of looking at multiple places, we can look at a single place to identify the issues."
"The product integrates with Remedy."
"The solution is great for monitoring. If something is going wrong, we can immediately find the root cause."
"Monitoring the components on your devices with out of the box monitors or the ability to create new ones (SAM)"
"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."
"Features like monitoring and infrastructure dependency mapping are valuable to us."
"A little bit better documentation on the details is needed because this subject is not easy sometimes to understand, which limits the capability of the software."
"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."
"I think they need to make reporting easier and more simple & dynamic."
"It would be helpful if the solution could integrate more with the security compliances, like this IDSS, etc."
"It lacks a user experience for measuring things like the end-to-end time for which a user waits for a specific response in the system. In the application layer, it has some very basic stuff. You have to build your own with manuscripts and things like that."
"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."
"When you implement SolarWinds on a larger scale my customers complain about the speed."
"I would like to see support for non-Windows or non-Microsoft domains, especially Apache and other non-Windows servers."
"The product does not explain why a problem occurred."
