Infrastructure monitoring provides comprehensive and proactive alerts

One of the valuable features of this site is that it operates 24/7, monitoring my entire infrastructure, uptime, and related error issues. For example, it can monitor my network switches. The feature includes IP SLA to assess IP-based connections like static IPs. An alert is generated if issues occur, monitored through email notifications. It can also monitor Kubernetes, containers, FTP servers, and MSP features. The self-healing automation capability is also included.

Monitoring over a thousand systems has improved decision making and operational visibility

From an advantage perspective, SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor is comparatively cheaper from a commercial point of view. It is easy to install and configure, very user-friendly, and quick to get up and running, allowing you to see the early value adds in your organization. It is compatible with most technologies for monitoring with very few chances of incompatibility. Configuration also allows us to monitor all the technical parameters we are looking for, making it a very good experience for us. The alerting feature in SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor is a main advantage, as it alerts based on threshold breaches and can raise tickets to the ticketing system, send SMS, and email notifications, allowing engineers to work on those tickets to resolve issues and avoid further impact. The visibility into server health is a beneficial feature that I am utilizing. We widely use various application performance metrics in SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor such as database monitoring and server monitoring, which are quite good enough for any monitoring solution. We utilize the customizable dashboards in SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Site24x7 stands out. It is truly amazing."

"One of the valuable features of this site is that it operates 24/7, monitoring my entire infrastructure, uptime, and related error issues."

"Hardware health: It allows for proactive monitoring of the hardware health and is a game changer."

"Extremely user friendly: Any IT professional can learn how to admin NPM in a short time."

"Monitoring the components on your devices with out of the box monitors or the ability to create new ones (SAM)"

"The solution is end-to-end from the network and the application to the processes. Everything about the enterprise infrastructure is being covered by the solution. It's easy to use and easy to navigate and one of the leaders among monitoring solutions."

"The product integrates with Remedy."

"I adore the NTA module that provides deep details on ingress/egress traffic for any interface. With a few clicks, you can correlate who is accessing what and when, beside the bandwidth consuming applications/users."

"I'd rate technical support at eight out of ten. They are helpful and fast."

"I am impressed with the tool's AppStack feature which mainly helps us in the identification process. This feature can give an overview of the fault and help us identify the issues for performance degradation. Instead of looking at multiple places, we can look at a single place to identify the issues."

Cons

"It is technical. The engineer must be familiar with it."

"The product is not difficult to use. That said, it is technical. The engineer must be familiar with it."

"SAM AppInsight for SQL: The ability to ignore fragmentation of specific indexes."

"I would like to see support for non-Windows or non-Microsoft domains, especially Apache and other non-Windows servers."

"The technical support was better in previous years. With the launch of the premium support service, the normal support has declined."

"The tool’s report feature created issues for us. We needed to gain skills to use that feature. The tool’s customization is not easy since you have to reconfigure the whole system."

"Mapping interactions between systems."

"I believe that some of the trends, environmental maps, and items like those found in Orion would be very beneficial."

"From an integration point of view, if you want to have a manager of manager kind of layer, that is currently lacking in SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor."

"They should incorporate more artificial intelligence. There should also be more predictive features."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The tool is available for my company at a good price point."

"When planning for the number of licenses to purchase, make sure you understand all of the elements within an application required to really understand performance well. In our case, we quickly came to the conclusion that an unlimited license for SAM was the way to go."

"The solution is overpriced in terms of application management."

"Price can always be lower. It is neither on the expensive side nor on the cheap side. We have worked with them for a lot of years, so we get a discount due to the size of the installation."

"SAM is not per server so the pricing model can be deceiving. If you have an enterprise environment, you will quickly exceed your licensing quickly. You should know this before going in."

"Its licensing is on a yearly basis. It is just the standard price, but it can vary depending on the current rate of the dollar."

"We pay around $ 2,000 to $ 5,000 yearly for the solution."

"The price is too high."
