Provides a stable solution but would improve by developing an all-in-one-solution
The advice I would give to anyone looking at implementing Netreo into their organization would be to do your market research and evaluate the product, do not just choose it because someone recommends it to you. Overall, from my perspective, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Unified dashboards have improved hybrid infrastructure monitoring and support daily operations
The dashboard and reporting can be improved. The way the dashboards are being configured and presented in SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability has certain challenges. The look and feel and ease of configuring are areas where we see difficulties. There are certain limitations where we are not able to select the range or live details. Specifically, I want to have a trend analysis on certain thresholds, but those are tricky and we are not able to do that. We are currently downloading that and then using Excel to represent it. Those kinds of features are missing as of now. AI features in SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability, we only started this in 2024. We are still stabilizing the environment. AI is the next thing, so we did not start looking into that yet. Even the dashboards that we are trying to build to understand the trend analysis in SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability show always the live information. What is the current state, how many monitors, how many are green, how many are amber, where we have warnings, what are at risk, is the live information that we could build from the dashboard. When trying to analyze the thresholds or how much increase we need to make, or what the trend is happening, getting into those details is difficult. Building those kind of reports is a tricky one. We struggle a lot in that area.

Pros

"The technical support team at Netreo is pretty good."
"SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability has helped our organization stay on top of network and system performance; it allows us to spot and fix issues quickly, reducing downtime and keeping us happy."
"The initial setup is straightforward and quick if prerequisites are met, taking only a couple of days."
"Positive changes include improvements in uptime, faster troubleshooting, and reduced downtime."
"SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability has positively impacted my organization by improving our reporting capabilities, allowing us to send regular reports to management for constant analysis and visibility of the network's state."
"The primary use cases are for customers who require complete infrastructure monitoring. I mean IT infrastructure, which includes network devices, security devices, and server environments, whether physical, virtual, or cloud-based. The platform can manage any infrastructure component that needs monitoring."
"In my opinion, the best feature SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability offers is traceability."
"Reduced downtime and faster issue resolution are significant benefits of SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability; features such as PerfStack, NetPath, and intelligent maps allow organizations to visualize dependencies and pinpoint problems quickly."
"I rate my satisfaction with SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability at nine out of ten."
 

Cons

"The scalability of Netreo is lacking."
"Regarding AI features in SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability, we currently depend on other AI features such as BigPanda and other tools. There are some improvements in correlation, but it is still not fully automated."
"The solution could improve in areas such as on-premises container monitoring, CICD observability, and providing additional documentation and support files in languages other than English."
"Currently, SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability monitors AWS, Azure, and virtual environments, but it is primarily built on the traditional Orion platform."
"I have been using SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability for a short time as I tried once, but I did not prefer it, so we moved back and we do not use it again."
"SolarWinds HCO platform offers various features spanning components, such as network, security, server, virtual, and application components. Common features include dashboarding, reporting, and alerting. These features provide comprehensive visibility, allowing you to see how one area's issues affect others. For instance, if a network issue impacts server performance, this visibility is crucial."
"SolarWinds tends to lose some advantages because the SNMP criteria for monitoring Huawei devices are not providing the comprehensive reports we need, leading me to deduct one point."
"I have experienced a problem with SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability, although I cannot detail the specific problems I have encountered."
"The dashboard and reporting can be improved. The way the dashboards are being configured and presented in SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability has certain challenges."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution's pricing is quite reasonable. It has moved to node-based licensing, simplifying the process. They don't distinguish between different types of nodes, such as server nodes, physical routers, or switches. One node equals one license, making it easy to manage. If you have 500 devices, you need five hundred licenses to get all the features of this unified monitoring platform."
