Pros

More Cavisson NetDiagnostics Pros →

"The most valuable feature of SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor is the network devices' performance monitor is the best.""I'd rate technical support at eight out of ten. They are helpful and fast.""SolarWinds is a very stable platform compared to others on the market.""The most valuable feature is the Access Rights Manager.""Extremely user friendly: Any IT professional can learn how to admin NPM in a short time.""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.""Features like monitoring and infrastructure dependency mapping are valuable to us.""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."

Cons
"They can improve on providing "help and navigation" for each feature available in the UI."

More Cavisson NetDiagnostics Cons →

"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.""Mapping interactions between systems.""This product has no real downside unless they fail to continue development of its capabilities.""SAM AppInsight for SQL: The ability to ignore fragmentation of specific indexes.""When you implement SolarWinds on a larger scale my customers complain about the speed.""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 product needs to reduce its price.""PerfStack can be made more effective. I am sure SolarWinds already has a plan for the same in coming versions."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "I have always said SolarWinds is very “proud” of their products, meaning they are expensive. I cannot afford to purchase all the licenses I need for all the SolarWinds products."
  • "When planning for the number of licenses to purchase, make sure you understand all of the elements within an application required to really understand performance well. In our case, we quickly came to the conclusion that an unlimited license for SAM was the way to go."
  • "Nagios XI, WhatsUpGold, Uptime Software, PRTG, Manage Engine, and SpiceWorks are the other tools that have lower pricing and licensing costs. However, they can't compete with SolarWinds when it comes to the features and functionality that SolarWinds can provide."
  • "I would advise potential buyers to wait until the end of the quarter, end of year, or other time to place orders. There are actually great deals to be had at those times if your budget cycle can match up."
  • "Pricing and licensing is fair for what you get. It does have a great bang-for-the-buck appeal."
  • "SAM is not per server so the pricing model can be deceiving. If you have an enterprise environment, you will quickly exceed your licensing quickly. You should know this before going in."
  • "Understanding the counts of objects to monitor will determine the licensing need. In terms of pricing, it’s not cheap but it’s not expensive as larger vendors whose products don’t have all the features or integrations."
  • "The product might cost you $30,000 USD to buy, but scaling this solution requires the purchase of additional polling engines at $20,000 USD each."
