Tanveer Khalid - PeerSpot reviewer
Infrastructure monitoring provides comprehensive and proactive alerts
One of the valuable features of this site is that it operates 24/7, monitoring my entire infrastructure, uptime, and related error issues. For example, it can monitor my network switches. The feature includes IP SLA to assess IP-based connections like static IPs. An alert is generated if issues occur, monitored through email notifications. It can also monitor Kubernetes, containers, FTP servers, and MSP features. The self-healing automation capability is also included.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"One of the valuable features of this site is that it operates 24/7, monitoring my entire infrastructure, uptime, and related error issues."
"Site24x7 stands out. It is truly amazing."
"The most valuable feature is the way it monitors the environment, and how user-friendly the console is for the end-user. The interface is also very easy and it captures all the information very well."
"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."
"The alerting and reporting capabilities of the tool are impressive"
"Everything has been complete and stable for our needs over the past four years."
"We found that it was easy to operate, and it was simple if anyone has entry-level working experience or even if someone is not experienced."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the alerts."
"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 product covers our needs for the basic care and feeding of servers, whether they are physical or virtual."
 

Cons

"It is technical. The engineer must be familiar with it."
"The product is not difficult to use. That said, it is technical. The engineer must be familiar with it."
"SolarWinds NPM could improve by adding the deepest inspection, performance networking, and IP address discovery."
"The solution could improve in many areas, such as the marketing and description of the products, providing areas of improvement, cloud capabilities, and being able to be more streamlined with the current integration points with other applications."
"Application Performance Monitoring should be included in this solution."
"The price of the solution can be improved."
"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."
"It is not that stable. As a Windows software, I have seen issues with SolarWinds. The performance is slow."
"Being able to detect devices that are trying to connect wirelessly would make using this solution much easier."
"The solution does not offer much customization so is somewhat inflexible."
