Find out in this report how the two Server Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."SolarWinds is a very stable platform compared to others on the market."
"This product can monitor application environments no matter where they reside and provides capabilities for deep insight into infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature of SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor is its powerful monitoring capabilities."
"The features like trends, capacity planning, recommendations, and diagnostics are the main items I focus on for added value."
"The component and cable monitoring are good. SolarWinds is more intuitive and user-friendly than AppDynamics. The AppDynamics console is more complex because it's a more feature-rich solution, so it's not easy for somebody to pick it up."
"AppInsight for SQL: Enables us to see the relevant error log entries on the same page as performance parameters."
"SSL Certificate Monitoring and Expiry Alerting"
"It is simple to implement and can provide fairly decent Windows-based monitoring, beyond simple SNMP. It is great for monitoring newbies and smaller shops."
"Tanium's most valuable feature is its instant discovery aspect."
"For incident response tasks, all these tasks can get done in minutes with minimal disruption to the end-user."
"I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management."
"I like the fact that you can create patching campaigns depending on the area of your network that you want to address first. I like the ability it has to make several campaigns that work in parallel."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the consolidation of all historical data on device endpoints, security drivers, firmware, and Software version gaps."
"The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed."
"I like the tool's incident response and security patching."
"Tanium's most valuable features are patch management, inventory, and distribution software."
"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."
"The tool's AppStack needs to improve in the storage monitoring part. It should also include an analytics and recommendation approach. If I have found a fault in a server or application, I would like to know what caused it and how do I recover from it."
"I think they need to make reporting easier and more simple & dynamic."
"SAM AppInsight for SQL: The ability to ignore fragmentation of specific indexes."
"They should incorporate more artificial intelligence. There should also be more predictive features."
"It would be helpful if the solution could integrate more with the security compliances, like this IDSS, etc."
"Some custom applications cannot be monitored, and a lot more applications need to be included."
"This product has no real downside unless they fail to continue development of its capabilities."
"The solution lacks mobility."
"We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade."
"Tanium's limitations should be improved because although it is a great tool, it is limited to only a few classes during a session."
"I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments."
"Tanium’s scalability could be improved."
"Most of the time, agent-relative issues have to be more equipped with self-healing features. At times, the agent is there, but for some reason, it doesn't report a status. It gives certain problems that are obviously agent-based."
"The main issues are the network connection because different customers have issues with their networks. It's difficult implementing this type of solution because the network is the main feature in the architecture for these types of solutions. Tanium could improve by creating some network optimization."
"They could improve the UI."
