Key learnings from peers

Valuable Features

  • "The product’s alert feature is good. We receive notifications whenever some failures occur in the configuration."
  • "The most valuable feature of SolarWinds Server Configuration Monitor is version control. For example, if we began on the first of the month and we considered that as the configuration of the server, I could set that configuration as my baseline. On a daily basis, if there was the operations team that did, for example, server patching, the tool will maintain all levels of versions."

Room for Improvement

  • "The product’s support services and licensing models need improvement."
  • "In a feature release, they could enhance the reporting. However, we have not evaluated this part of the solution extensively."

Pricing

  • "SolarWinds Server Configuration Monitor has medium pricing compared to other solutions."
  • "The price of SolarWinds Server Configuration Monitor is not reasonable, it is slightly on the higher side."
These insights are based on the in-depth reviews provided by peers to help you make a better buying decision.
