SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor Stability
We have not really had stability issues, but then it doesn't mean SAM would run without any issues. With a proper health check and maintenance plan in place, stability issues would never occur.
- We should have a regular maintenance schedule in place where SolarWinds servers are rebooted at regularly scheduled intervals. For instance, once a month.
- A health check of the SolarWinds server should be in place.
- Unwanted component monitors have to be removed in regular intervals from SAM.
- Decommissioned nodes have to be deleted from SAM on a regular basis.
- Unknown monitors/applications have to be addressed on a regular basis. Unknown applications are the ones that would eat up most of your server resources on the SolarWinds server. Such things have to be addressed on a regular basis to keep the instance healthy.
SolarWinds is stable in the latest versions.

I find it to be a stable product overall. A couple of years ago, they did experience a security breach, which is somewhat expected when you're one of the most visible market leaders.

SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor is not stable. We have to maintain the platform and it goes down frequently. If we have plenty of resources the solution has problems managing the load.

This solution is stable but when the product has a lot of data in the databases, the speed is an issue.

View full review »It is really stable. We're making use of a polling engine. When the customer site is experiencing some slowness of the console or the server, they'll know that they have overutilized the resources. So, we'll try to give them recommendations on what to do to make it better.

We encountered issues with stability in a few rare cases, due to being on older versions of the software. But this was self-inflicted in all cases.
For the most part, the Orion suite is very stable, dependable, and easy to manage.
Installs and upgrades are a bit time consuming, but this is expected with such a large platform.

There has been at least one unstable upgrade in the past, but then, that happens to pretty much any product out there.
View full review »I had some stability issues. I lost my environment, but with the help of SolarWinds support, I was able to get back to a stable platform. I was able to install the upgrade to VMAN to bring me up to v7.
The appliance for VMware would lock up and I was unable to shut it down properly. If I didn’t reboot, I could not see the VMAN admin console. I had to shut it down through VMware, thereby corrupting the appliance.
SolarWinds was not sure why this happened, but after several days, we were better than before. There was not a hiccup since.

I would rate the tool’s stability an eight out of ten. The tool is more or less stable. We encountered stability issues when there were too many sites or devices to monitor.
