Find out in this report how the two Server Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Scalability and flexibility. The product can grow with your infrastructure so you don't have to install other products. Just add components. It's very simple."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"It is easy to implement."
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"The real value is our being able to pull all the historic data that we need in order to gather every little metric and nuanced piece of information from a given device, a given piece of infrastructure, in order for us to generate alerts."
"Monitoring the components on your devices with out of the box monitors or the ability to create new ones (SAM)"
"The most valuable feature is the Access Rights Manager."
"The more valuable feature of this solution is the Exchange feature."
"One of the most valuable features are the reports. They're pretty good. Also, the ease of installation and customization for the client is another feature that we value. SolarWinds has a lot of features but these are the ones I like the most. We also like that the KPIs have the ability to be preset."
"AppInsight. Provides a simple way to get very in-depth monitoring configured for our most popular applications. Exchange, SQL, and SharePoint."
"The most valuable feature of SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor is its powerful monitoring capabilities."
"This product can monitor application environments no matter where they reside and provides capabilities for deep insight into infrastructure."
"The initial setup was relatively easy, and we didn't have to install anything. All we had to do was put on the devices we wanted to monitor."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"We have experienced challenges with finding a mechanism to deploy the agents, but it's only on the first deployment so it's not a big issue."
"The only challenge that I have with this solution is the reporting part. The users are not really comfortable with the kind of reports they are getting. Sometimes, they want to see reports in their own format. Customizing those reports with Jasper is not very easy. It could be because of the knowledge gap. If you have the knowledge of how Jasper can be configured to suit customer requirements in terms of reporting, it is good. There was a time a customer complained about one issue related to Netflow analysis. Broadcom has a separate model for that, but the customer wanted everything bundled together. It could also have IP management so that I am able to see or analyze IPs so that the IPs that are already in use don't get assigned."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"The product does not explain why a problem occurred."
"The product needs to reduce its price."
"I believe that some of the trends, environmental maps, and items like those found in Orion would be very beneficial."
"Solarwinds should come up the same monitoring system for other certificate expiration alert apart from SSL."
"The stability, flexibility, and ease of use could be improved."
"Mapping interactions between systems."
"A lot of times, we have to do a lot of manual cleanups."
"One area that could benefit from improvement is its performance"
