"Science Logic provides distributed and all-in-one concept in monitoring, you can easily customize the features in this product."
"It is very easy to configure because we are using an agent-less version. You can very quickly implement a collector for monitoring device servers."
"The power flow is great."
"The best feature is the highly flexible graphs."
"Power packs."
"When it comes to features, the power pack is the most valuable."
"Features like monitoring and infrastructure dependency mapping are valuable to us."
"AppInsight for SQL: Enables us to see the relevant error log entries on the same page as performance parameters."
"The solution is great for monitoring. If something is going wrong, we can immediately find the root cause."
"AppInsight. Provides a simple way to get very in-depth monitoring configured for our most popular applications. Exchange, SQL, and SharePoint."
"SolarWinds SAM has provided us with dynamic thresholds based on historical trends and requirements. The threshold gets configured automatically, so it's no longer necessary to configure it manually every time."
"It's good at monitoring system-specific things like ports, services."
"The solution has good alerts. Notifications are sent via email to technicians. You can filter the kinds of alerts you want to receive as well. It's excellent."
"The component and cable monitoring are good. SolarWinds is more intuitive and user-friendly than AppDynamics. The AppDynamics console is more complex because it's a more feature-rich solution, so it's not easy for somebody to pick it up."
"We want to understand: how does the back end work? What if some problem occurs? What we can do? They need to provide more information."
"ScienceLogic could improve the implementation, it could be made easier."
"The product must educate its strategic partners for deployment."
"They should improve their support process and add chat."
"They should add CLI command modes and scripts for high performance."
"It was challenging onboarding users."
"There are often bugs in new releases."
"ScienceLogic does not have application monitoring. We definitely need something integrated within ScienceLogic to monitor applications so that we don't have to rely on monitoring tools to monitor other applications. At least the ones that are market leaders, such as SAP, Oracle, and others."
"Solarwinds should come up the same monitoring system for other certificate expiration alert apart from SSL."
"It would be helpful if the solution could integrate more with the security compliances, like this IDSS, etc."
"PerfStack can be made more effective. I am sure SolarWinds already has a plan for the same in coming versions."
"When you implement SolarWinds on a larger scale my customers complain about the speed."
"I would like to see support for non-Windows or non-Microsoft domains, especially Apache and other non-Windows servers."
"Nodes in Azure are able to be monitored with the use of agents, but this does not apply to cloud service offerings that are not node based."
"Downside of the tools is the web console are hung or crash. It need to improve the performance."
"It should also be easier to upgrade SolarWinds. AppDynamics is harder to deploy but easier to upgrade. So AppDynamics takes a lot of time and effort to install, but you can upgrade it in minutes. SolarWinds is the opposite. It's easy to deploy, but upgrades take forever. To date, nobody can complete it on time, so the production environment is sitting idle."
