"The features like trends, capacity planning, recommendations, and diagnostics are the main items I focus on for added value."
"SolarWinds is a very stable platform compared to others on the market."
"Monitoring the components on your devices with out of the box monitors or the ability to create new ones (SAM)"
"One of the most valuable features are the reports. They're pretty good. Also, the ease of installation and customization for the client is another feature that we value. SolarWinds has a lot of features but these are the ones I like the most. We also like that the KPIs have the ability to be preset."
"The initial setup was relatively easy, and we didn't have to install anything. All we had to do was put on the devices we wanted to monitor."
"The product integrates with Remedy."
"The most valuable feature is the Access Rights Manager."
"There are often bugs in new releases."
"The product must educate its strategic partners for deployment."
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."

"ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient."
"They need a little more self-service."
"ScienceLogic could improve the implementation, it could be made easier."
"An additional feature that would improve this solution is the ability to complete root cause analysis."
"SAM's software-defined network monitoring capability is also low and could be improved."
"Reporting is the only thing with which we currently have challenges. They have this in two ways. There is the report writer, which is the backend, and we also have web reports, which are on the console. So, they have removed the report writer for the backend reports, and we are making use of the web console, but most of the users are not finding it very interesting to use the frontend reports. I would like them to bring back the report writer. That's the key area within it to improve on the reporting. If they can bring back the report writer, then most users will actually be comfortable. I have some customers who are trying to export their report to an Excel format, but it is not possible because they said any report that has been done from the web console cannot be exported to Excel, but most of the customers need to export their reports to Excel. That's one area they need to work on."
"I think they need to make reporting easier and more simple & dynamic."
"This product has no real downside unless they fail to continue development of its capabilities."
"They should incorporate more artificial intelligence. There should also be more predictive features."
"The product does not explain why a problem occurred."
"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."
