"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The traffic monitoring and the traffic analysis are great."
"We don't have to keep an eye on it; it has a good automation option, which keeps us informed. It gives very less false positives. Overall, a really great product."
"Some of the useful features are NetFlow and analytics."
"The solution offers very good integration capabilities."
"The uptime and monitoring are valuable to us because we need to monitor the uptime of our services, the memory, and the CPUs."
"I liked Network Configuration Manager. They had some pretty decent features there, and they also had pretty good monitoring and alerts."
"Defining thresholds and other alerting criteria is fairly simple and would not require a lot of training. This is very useful if you are managing a large environment."
"Device backups are smooth and managed centrally, with a nice dashboard, so you can quickly see the status."
"The application dependency feature identifies issues between applications and servers or within the network where the application is hosted. It highlights related problems, whether related to packet processing or other issues, enabling the creation of alerts and reports accordingly."
"I'd rate technical support at eight out of ten. They are helpful and fast."
"SSL Certificate Monitoring and Expiry Alerting"
"It's good at monitoring system-specific things like ports, services."
"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."
"Monitoring of processes and services is the most valuable feature. It is not necessarily just the server alone in terms of the CPU or the memory. We can go in-depth into services and processes."
"The more valuable feature of this solution is the Exchange feature."
"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."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The dashboard could include more features."
"The solution's reports need to include the number of applications consumed."
"I would like to see more enhancements made to the product."
"The licensing for this solution is not straightforward and should be improved."
"We would like link monitoring included. At times we need to monitor those specific links closely."
"ManageEngine OpManager could improve the default dashboards that are available. We are not able to customize them easily and they do not give us the information we need unless we customize them. You need to have the technical knowledge to be able to do it, the customization should be easier."
"The pricing of the solution is high. They should work to adjust the pricing model to see if they can help reduce costs."
"We get a lot of false alerts."
"An additional feature that would improve this solution is the ability to complete root cause analysis."
"Currently SolarWinds SAM offers AppInsight for modern versions of: IIS, Exchange, SQL Server. They have shown to be powerful and insightful tools. However, AppInsight needs to be offered for more applications: Citrix, SharePoint, AX, etc."
"When you implement SolarWinds on a larger scale my customers complain about the speed."
"One area that could benefit from improvement is its performance"
"It lacks a user experience for measuring things like the end-to-end time for which a user waits for a specific response in the system. In the application layer, it has some very basic stuff. You have to build your own with manuscripts and things like that."
"SAM AppInsight for SQL: The ability to ignore fragmentation of specific indexes."
"The templates could use improvement. Currently, they are quite complex. They should have drag-and-drop functionality instead. It would make it easier to use."
"The major concern in the product revolves around application performance monitoring since end-to-end application monitoring is not possible with the tool."
