"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager eight out of 10 for stability."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a very user-friendly tool."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager has eased the responsibilities among our DBAs. We can now assign individual tasks to separate DBAs."
"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."
"I'd rate technical support at eight out of ten. They are helpful and fast."
"The most valuable feature is the Access Rights Manager."
"The product integrates with Remedy."
"Extremely user friendly: Any IT professional can learn how to admin NPM in a short time."
"We use the solution as a central monitoring tool. We use it to monitor every transaction that has a relation to the organization’s infrastructure."
"SSL Certificate Monitoring and Expiry Alerting"
"Management Console - Managing service to each server enrolled in the Solarwinds is much easier. Using a web base console, you can control your service much convenient way. There is no need to login remotely. It save a lot of time and effort."
"The deployment is not straightforward."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"My opinion is that this solution needs to improve consolidation. That is what our business needs the most right now."

"The fact that Oracle Enterprise Manager is an expensive solution is a matter of concern and needs to be considered for improvement."
"I would like to improve the cost."
"We would like to have a single dashboard for monitoring and controlling all of our products."
"There is one feature that is a report writer. And they are currently trying to take it out from being a stand-alone application and integrating to the web. This doesn't give us the flexibility and it doesn't expand what we can get when it comes to reporting. So, putting it on the web is going to make it difficult to get some information. Leaving it where it is now will help us a lot."
"The major concern in the product revolves around application performance monitoring since end-to-end application monitoring is not possible with the tool."
"When you implement SolarWinds on a larger scale my customers complain about the speed."
"SAM AppInsight for SQL: The ability to ignore fragmentation of specific indexes."
"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."
"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 templates could use improvement. Currently, they are quite complex. They should have drag-and-drop functionality instead. It would make it easier to use."
"SAM's software-defined network monitoring capability is also low and could be improved."
