For my use there isn't anything to dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitering server status.
Practical way to monitor your VM environment
What do you like best about the product?
SolarWinds is an easy tool to monitor your VM environment. I enjoyed customizing my own dashboard. Instantly I could spot any "red" marked VMs, datastores and other VM elements. The reporting tool is so powerful with a large number of preset reports. I loved the capacity planner, it helped me decide and plan ahead of time when to purchase new ESX servers or do a memory upgrade.
What do you dislike about the product?
The appliance upgrade wasn't that straightforward. It should be simplified and done immediately without having to download new image and then import it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used SolarWinds virtualization manager for over 4 years.i could monitor over 600 VMware VMs in 3 different vcenters. I enjoyed customizing my own dashboard. The notifications pointed out a number of issues and helped me optimize the environment. The reporting tool was easy to use, and i could quickly export a variety of reports that where helpful to the management.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This tool is essential for VM admins. It is easy to deploy and customize.
A lot of good information!
What do you like best about the product?
I like how well it keeps track of our storage, letting us know if there are any issues. The predictions on disks/volumes filling up are useful for capacity planning purposes. I also really like the Performance Analyzer, which is driven by the new metrics features - the ability to drag and drop various metrics and rearrange things easily is a fabulous feature. The ability to have more than just one manufacturer's worth of storage listed and compared is very handy, giving us the ability to see the whole environment instead of just pieces.
What do you dislike about the product?
The appstack displays seem to not always accurately portray our environment at the higher abstraction levels (meaning at the application layers), though it's usually close enough to be useful. In some cases it seems to have its own look and feel to it, which isn't necessarily bad but isn't like the rest of the SW suite.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As mentioned, using it for capacity management and planning has more than paid for its additional cost. We can see at a glance what LUNs are more filled and which are less, how long we expect it to be before we'll have to add space, and can really dig into performance characteristics far more easily than it had been using our SAN-vendor's tools.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
While I haven't seen them recently, I was pleasantly surprised that the demos and screenshots really do give you a decent feel for what the product really brings to the table. I suspect this is still the case, so I suggest to get on the phone with your SW rep and see if you can swing a demonstration!
Solarwinds was a good product to see server status at a glance
What do you like best about the product?
I liked being able to drill down into each network interface to see what sort of traffic was coming through. I could drill down to a specific connection and see details.

A local application might be better as far as speed goes. It was slow to connect and move around at peak times during the business day.
