Solar Winds for Exchange
What do you like best about the product?
Lots of customizations and includes support for DAG monitoring for Exchange environments. Important information and alerts are pre-configured. Synthetic monitoring gives you the chance to catch issues before they arise. Combined with the SolarWinds Orion suite, you can use this tool to monitor every performance aspect of your IT infrastructure.
What do you dislike about the product?
Even with all the customizations, a lot false alerts are created. We have worked with Solorwind engineers and we have not be able to create rules to limit our false positives alerting. This in return has generated about 10000 extra emails to our admin accounts. While the tool gives us what we need, it also produces way too much noise. This has cause our team to create a lot of email rules to filter out what is needed and auto delete of alerts. In return, we get the alerts we need but with too many alerts. The dashboard is ok, but needs improvement.
Support for third party cert is needed.

Monitoring of all of servers to ensure services and servers are up. This also included monitoring of our networks, databases, services for customize applications, Database DAG reporting, SQL Server, ping, application servers, active directory and the like.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Solorwinds can be shared with another application server and placed on a shared SQL server. This is great when considering having the upkeep with servers in one's environment.
Solarwinds adds value to an organizations infrastructure monitoring capabilities!

What do you dislike about the product?
Too much time to setup and maintain. Alert spam is really easy to run into. Dependancies do not seem to work as well as expected. It talks a little too long to configure everything. The UI doesn't feel modern. Nothing to differentiate it from the competitors.
The renewal pricing could be better.
The sales practices and renewal tactics are very annoying. I would recommend if using the product to engage a reseller and have all interaction through them to create a buffer.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving event management and incident response. It allows IT to proactively respond to events before our customer report there is an issue. The Solarwinds Server and Application monitor solution delivers on these business objectives.
It is hard to monitor ROI on something like this. We all need a solution and they all seem to be similarly priced.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider the time to create monitoring and maintain the system. Items like dependancies are difficult to setup correctly. The alert span is really easy. Solarwinds sales tactics and practices are very annoying.
All the on-premise solutions are similar in pricing with the same features. It is hard to say one is poor vs another. Solarwinds will delivery, but so will their competitors, find the solution that fits your staffing and company.
