Find out in this report how the two Cloud Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"It reduced cycles for a lot of quick out-of-the-box functionality. It also allowed us to get away from being stuck in SNMP, VTP V2, based off of agent deployment."
"This solution allows us to have an overview of the infrastructure and identify areas where the performance isn't optimal, or where upgrades could be carried out."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"Monitoring infrastructure and business applications are the most valuable features."
"It is easy to implement."
"The most important feature is reporting. The reports that are generated are useful and they save a lot of time with respect to monitoring."
"Can easily be interconnected with other management systems."
"SolarWinds is reasonably priced."
"It's a very good tool and a very stable tool."
"There are a lot of options for customization of the dashboard, alerts, and reports."
"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."
"It gives us a map of the network setup and one console to see the entire network."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the monitoring capabilities."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"I would like to see auditability. We've built our own audit functionality to ensure that every CI has the desired model configuration applied to it. And we run that on a daily basis. If that became part of the product, I think it might be a little bit less intensive in terms of resource, because we're doing it with scripts."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"Sometimes there are issues when upgrading to a new version of the product."
"The tool can only monitor up to 1000 instances in a single SolarWinds console. Customers may have over 1000 instances. Hence, it needs to support a minimum of 1500 instances. It should also improve support."
"They have had a rather large security breach in the past. It's cost some companies customers."
"Robustness of network element mapping tool could be better"
"Technical support can be slow to respond."
"There isn't support available to us as they don't offer support in our country."
"The reporting module that got integrated into the system itself, used to be a standalone solution and I preferred that."
"Technical support and releases are not particularly reliable."
