Pros
"One notable feature of this software is its page speed setup, which is highly commendable. Additionally, the metrics it provides are also impressive.""There are alerting mechanisms in place to let us know, for example, if a device is not responding to a ping test and is probably not going to work.""The most valuable features are monitoring and reporting.""Once you set the threshold on your environment, it feels very real-time"

"Tanium's most valuable features are patch management, inventory, and distribution software.""I like the tool's incident response and security patching.""Tanium has made the process of detecting threats more proactive with its detection. So, the process is easier and more efficient.""I'm not so familiar with the tool but I like the interaction of the console to the picture. Patching is the primary model I have been focusing on for the last couple of weeks. So I have created a proof of concept environment and have been checking the available features.""The security features are very valuable.""I like the fact that you can create patching campaigns depending on the area of your network that you want to address first. I like the ability it has to make several campaigns that work in parallel.""Threat hunting is a very good feature on Tanium. We have just started using it and have not used it extensively.""The solution is scalable and helps to understand how infrastructure works. It helps to improve the health of the organization."

Cons
"Pingdom is always improving everything in its product. So, they should work on the GUI.""Technical support could use some improvement.""I would like to see better integration with other products.""Some of the functions could improve by making them easier."

More SolarWinds Pingdom Cons →

"Any movement into a SaaS solution has challenges since the processes and data flows are not well defined. Hence, you need to build it at the same time.""Tanium's limitations should be improved because although it is a great tool, it is limited to only a few classes during a session.""The performance could improve in future releases. We have had performance issues in specialized web environments, but overall I think the problems are less than 2% of the computer systems being used.""The solution can give a lot of false positives.""Most of the time, agent-relative issues have to be more equipped with self-healing features. At times, the agent is there, but for some reason, it doesn't report a status. It gives certain problems that are obviously agent-based.""The solution lacks mobility.""The solution needs to improve the reporting and tracking capabilities.""They could improve the UI."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "This price of this solution is reasonable."
  • "The license was paid yearly and included technical support."
  • "While I wouldn't describe it as excessively expensive, if you require specific and reliable monitoring, SolarWinds can be a suitable option. The advantage is that SolarWinds offers a free version as well. If you don't heavily rely on its monitoring capabilities and are content with its basic features, the free version could suffice for your needs."
