"Mobile application is the most valuable feature for us. We can monitor all the storages on our phones. It's really good."
"Has really nice roll-up dashboards."

"PowerScale is the only file system offered and that is limiting."

"It would be nice if SolarWinds could have a polling engine on the site that would collect the reporting and then manage everything itself."
