More Kaseya IT Center Pros →

"The most valuable feature of SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor is the network devices' performance monitor is the best.""I'd rate technical support at eight out of ten. They are helpful and fast.""Identifying the problem statement is easy.""The solution is end-to-end from the network and the application to the processes. Everything about the enterprise infrastructure is being covered by the solution. It's easy to use and easy to navigate and one of the leaders among monitoring solutions.""Extremely user friendly: Any IT professional can learn how to admin NPM in a short time.""Hardware health: It allows for proactive monitoring of the hardware health and is a game changer.""It is simple to implement and can provide fairly decent Windows-based monitoring, beyond simple SNMP. It is great for monitoring newbies and smaller shops.""It's good at monitoring system-specific things like ports, services."

Cons
"In Kaseya, agents are shown as offline at times, and it is an area that is being improved.""At times, there is degradation in performance."

More Kaseya IT Center Cons →

"I think they need to make reporting easier and more simple & dynamic.""They should incorporate more artificial intelligence. There should also be more predictive features.""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.""Mapping interactions between systems.""It needs time-based functions for monitoring. Some things need to be polled on a specific schedule or only during a specific window.""The templates could use improvement. Currently, they are quite complex. They should have drag-and-drop functionality instead. It would make it easier to use.""The current script monitoring feature has limitations, especially when dealing with custom scripts.""The tool's AppStack needs to improve in the storage monitoring part. It should also include an analytics and recommendation approach. If I have found a fault in a server or application, I would like to know what caused it and how do I recover from it."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
  • More Kaseya IT Center Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "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."
