Monitoring over a thousand systems has improved decision making and operational visibility

From an advantage perspective, SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor is comparatively cheaper from a commercial point of view. It is easy to install and configure, very user-friendly, and quick to get up and running, allowing you to see the early value adds in your organization. It is compatible with most technologies for monitoring with very few chances of incompatibility. Configuration also allows us to monitor all the technical parameters we are looking for, making it a very good experience for us. The alerting feature in SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor is a main advantage, as it alerts based on threshold breaches and can raise tickets to the ticketing system, send SMS, and email notifications, allowing engineers to work on those tickets to resolve issues and avoid further impact. The visibility into server health is a beneficial feature that I am utilizing. We widely use various application performance metrics in SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor such as database monitoring and server monitoring, which are quite good enough for any monitoring solution. We utilize the customizable dashboards in SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor.

Automation and custom reporting impress while support resolution needs improvement

Workspace ONE Intelligence comes under a separate cost if you purchase UEM, making it a useful tool. The current features available in Workspace ONE Intelligence meet all use cases, so there isn't currently a need for improvement. Support could be improved for Workspace, especially the technical part, and it needs to ensure that issues can be resolved within one or two days. The main issue is the time to resolve problems, not the time to response, which is adequate.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is application monitoring."

"AppInsight. Provides a simple way to get very in-depth monitoring configured for our most popular applications. Exchange, SQL, and SharePoint."

"The solution can be deployed quickly."

"It's good at monitoring system-specific things like ports, services."

"Monitoring the components on your devices with out of the box monitors or the ability to create new ones (SAM)"

"Extremely user friendly: Any IT professional can learn how to admin NPM in a short time."

"This product can monitor application environments no matter where they reside and provides capabilities for deep insight into infrastructure."

"Manage Groups: The capability to group appropriate devices gives better visibility of sites, categories, or critical regions. The same can be used to represent a dashboard for higher management."

More SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor pros

"The tool's most valuable feature is its tunneling capability. It is good for inventory, encryption, device location, and kiosk mode. If a device is lost, you can find it. We integrated it with a third-party tool for one-time passwords and two-factor authentication. The user-friendly interface makes device management easy."

"I would rate Workspace ONE Intelligence nine out of ten."

"Integration is also very easy."

Cons

"I think they need to make reporting easier and more simple & dynamic."

"The product does not explain why a problem occurred."

"An additional feature that would improve this solution is the ability to complete root cause analysis."

"SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor could improve by having a cloud version. They have an observability platform but it still needs to be maintained by us."

"PerfStack can be made more effective. I am sure SolarWinds already has a plan for the same in coming versions."

"A lot of times, we have to do a lot of manual cleanups."

"Mapping interactions between systems."

"Support for the IBM Mainframe is needed."

More SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor cons

"Support could be improved for Workspace, especially the technical part, and it needs to ensure that issues can be resolved within one or two days."

"One area for improvement is location mapping - it uses Bing Maps instead of Google Maps, which isn't always up to date. Device enrollment can also be challenging, especially for older devices that need a factory reset."

"Windows devices management needs improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its licensing is on a yearly basis. It is just the standard price, but it can vary depending on the current rate of the dollar."

"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 price is too high."

"When compared to other licensed models in the market, it stands out as one of the more cost-effective options."

"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."

"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."

"We are on an annual license to use the solution. The price of the solution is expensive. The price is based on a bunch of factors, such as the number of engines and elements."

"The solution's price is reasonable. Though it's on the higher side, the tool is worth the money."

More SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor pricing and cost advice

"The solution is cost-effective. Workspace ONE Intelligence is neither cheap nor expensive. Compared to other tools like MaaS360, it Is more cost-effective. It costs about seven dollars per user, while others might cost $50—a big difference."
