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.

Proactive monitoring has transformed compliance checks and reduces help desk tickets daily

During implementation, we identified some features that I'm not actually using today, such as advanced predictive analytics and Digital Employee Experience scoring, along with real-time self-healing at scale. The biggest friction point I hit with Workspace ONE Intelligence is the high complexity of setup, along with data overload, which presents too much information. There's also a skill gap in teams, an over-automation risk, integration challenges, licensing and cost concerns, cultural resistance, and limited real-time action adoption due to the hybrid environment's complexity. If I could change just one thing about Workspace ONE Intelligence, even something small, it would be to make automation adoption simpler and safer, which would ease my workflow.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is scalable."

"The graphical interfaces, GUI customizations, and alert configurations are impressive."

"The most valuable feature is application monitoring."

"The features like trends, capacity planning, recommendations, and diagnostics are the main items I focus on for added value."

"SSL Certificate Monitoring and Expiry Alerting"

"The most valuable feature of SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor is its powerful monitoring capabilities."

"Having used various other vendors for monitoring over my career, the SolarWinds products give outstanding value for the price."

"The ROI for SolarWinds products is unmatched in the industry."

More SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor pros

"I would rate Workspace ONE Intelligence nine out of ten."

"Integration is also very easy."

"The tool's most valuable feature is its tunneling capability. It is good for inventory, encryption, device location, and kiosk mode. If a device is lost, you can find it. We integrated it with a third-party tool for one-time passwords and two-factor authentication. The user-friendly interface makes device management easy."

"Workspace ONE Intelligence has significantly impacted my organization overall by shifting the operation from reactive to proactive IT, reducing the help desk load, providing a stronger security posture, improving visibility across the enterprise, automating routine IT work, especially in banking-specific contexts, enhancing employee productivity, and optimizing costs, leading to a cultural shift in IT teams."

Cons

"SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor could improve the server monitoring and the web application monitoring features are not good. Microsoft SCOM has better server monitoring."

"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."

"The major concern in the product revolves around application performance monitoring since end-to-end application monitoring is not possible with the tool."

"PerfStack can be made more effective."

"For each poller, SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor can only monitor up to ten thousand components, which restricts scalability."

"SAM's software-defined network monitoring capability is also low and could be improved."

"In terms of the dashboards on offer, they should work to improve them. The types of dashboards that you get in terms of the graphs on offer aren't ideal right now."

"The stability, flexibility, and ease of use could be improved."

More SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor cons

"Windows devices management needs improvement."

"The biggest friction point I hit with Workspace ONE Intelligence is the high complexity of setup, along with data overload, which presents too much information."

"One area for improvement is location mapping - it uses Bing Maps instead of Google Maps, which isn't always up to date. Device enrollment can also be challenging, especially for older devices that need a factory reset."

"Support could be improved for Workspace, especially the technical part, and it needs to ensure that issues can be resolved within one or two days."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's price is reasonable. Though it's on the higher side, the tool is worth the money."

"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."

"The price is too high."

"I would advise potential buyers to wait until the end of the quarter, end of year, or other time to place orders. There are actually great deals to be had at those times if your budget cycle can match up."

"Nagios XI, WhatsUpGold, Uptime Software, PRTG, Manage Engine, and SpiceWorks are the other tools that have lower pricing and licensing costs. However, they can't compete with SolarWinds when it comes to the features and functionality that SolarWinds can provide."

"I think SolarWinds' pricing is very decent compared to other competitors in the market."

"We are on an annual license to use the solution. The price of the solution is expensive. The price is based on a bunch of factors, such as the number of engines and elements."

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

More SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor pricing and cost advice

"The solution is cost-effective. Workspace ONE Intelligence is neither cheap nor expensive. Compared to other tools like MaaS360, it Is more cost-effective. It costs about seven dollars per user, while others might cost $50—a big difference."
