Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product has a great dashboard."
"I have found the most valuable feature is application performance management."
"Technical support is always live and they're supportive."
"Some of the most valuable features of SolarWinds are the topology discovery and network performance analysis."
"The reporting of the solution is very good."
"The sum solution, NTA, and DPA."
"The solution's design has recently changed and it is visually pleasing with more color, for example, there is blue, black, and white."
"The calculations part is the most valuable."
"There is less computing power needed for scaling."
"The implementation process is very straightforward."
"It has improved our server performance monitoring overall. We know right away when there are problems. It has built-in statistics, so we can go back and see if there's spiking. We can check what's happening every day around the same time and check the configuration to see if there's something that's running and needs to be fixed."
"The level of discovery-based configuration that lets us auto-configure the monitoring for various systems is a valuable feature."
"It is a great product. The SNMP protocol tracking feature is good. I really like how it tracks SNMP. The alerts are also great."
"Zabbix helps to save time."
"The implementation needs improvement. It needs to get modernized with the newer cloud scenario in both public and private deployment models."
"In terms of the technology, I think they need to put some more advanced troubleshooting into SolarWinds, in terms of AI capabilities. That's the next generation, especially in the cases of APIs which have already adopted AI capabilities into their products."
"I would like to see more integration with other tools that are available on the market."
"The integration with Unix services should be a bit more straightforward."
"The solution should be more user-friendly."
"AppOptics would benefit from having a much more centralized view."
"The stability could be better."
"Improvement is needed as per customer requirements."
"They should open an SSH session from the web interface."
"Look and feel."
"There is a bit of a learning curve during installation."
"The integration of the product is not so easy, especially when it comes to the application database."
"Zabbix does not draw automatic mapping of the network, this is something they should add in the future. There is a lot of effort that is involved in tailoring some of the settings which could be made easier."
"The System Center Operations Manager can be improved."
