Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Has really nice roll-up dashboards."
"Mobile application is the most valuable feature for us. We can monitor all the storages on our phones. It's really good."
"The tool for forecasting capacity is valuable."
"Fewer vulnerabilities have been observed in the four years we have used the solution."
"The best thing about this solution is that you can check for the infrastructure and system updates that you might need to be compliant with the Cloud."
"The alerting and usage tracking notifications on disk space capacity, network and processor utilization."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"We found that it was easy to operate, and it was simple if anyone has entry-level working experience or even if someone is not experienced."
"The initial setup was straightforward. We deployed the solution from new and completed the upgrades."
"The biggest thing for me is that it provided enough information for me to monitor. It alerts and provides you with the information you need."
"As we look to add more servers to our virtual environment and to understand the impact, the solution allows us to dig into the historical charts related to capacity planning."
"SolarWinds is reasonably priced."
"SolarWinds' network and server application monitoring features are strong."
"The reporting capabilities of this solution could be improved."
"PowerScale is the only file system offered and that is limiting."
"Doesn't do well in terms of integrating with technologies other than Dell."
"Supporting legacy systems is an area that can be improved."
"In terms of improvement, they should enhance the product range."
"If they’re going for a “cover everything” approach, then they need to do so and enable a bit more of the "cover everything approach" within every one of the tools."
"Being able to detect devices that are trying to connect wirelessly would make using this solution much easier."
"GUI needs improvement with a more graphical dashboard."
"We decided that we were no longer going to trust that their products have not been capitalized."
"The solution does not offer much customization so is somewhat inflexible."
"Each model has different features, so clients need to purchase a separate model for SQL monitoring, database monitoring, network traffic analyzer, HTTP traffic, etc. So each feature they need is in a different model, but customers would prefer an all-in-one solution."
"A feature I would ask for is for them to have this solution available for Linux systems instead of Windows."
"One of the challenges with SolarWinds is that in order to pull the data, we have to have a lot of false positives."
