PaperTrail is a great cloud product
What do you like best about the product?
Setup is extremely easy, it took less than 5 minutes to setup my first log.I love the idea that it's an easy to configure solution. I think this will prove to be more reliable of a solution than using email reports or local storage solutions. I think setting up email alerts took way longer to implement.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the jump in cost from the free version to the equivalent storage space in the paid version, to get the same amount of storage after the free trial, you have to go from $0/ month up to $150/ month. . I dislike that they don't have a SMS alerts option, I feel like that would be a logical next step. Another feature I would to see, and I'm surprised they don't offer, unless I missed it, is the ability to send these logs / alerts to Solarwinds MSP, which does give me push notifications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
An easy, consolidated, cloud access solution for all the various logs I need to keep track of. I'm not super experienced with it, but it looks like I can setup a wide variety of devices to send their logs to papertrail
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For servers/ workstations the setup is straightforward, and takes virtually no time at all. More specialized devices/ platforms will take more knowledge and setup time. I don't think I've ever seen a pre-built solution for logs like this. It would take far more work to setup manually.
Solarwinds
What do you like best about the product?
The support is great. They have chat, email and phone support 24x7. The dashboard helps you a lot. It has many features that improves your daily work
What do you dislike about the product?
They are increasing the prices for all their actual clients
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring, patches, av, web protection. Easy to apply scripts. The major benefit is the automatization of process
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try first to check if it fits your needs but it is a great product
Middle-level quality for the middle-level money
What do you like best about the product?
They have an API, which is not really decent, but at least allows to do some basic bulk actions.
Their transactional checks are much better than others on the market have (at least, 6 months ago) -- it is the "scripted" language. When you need to create a lot of checks, at least, you don't need to click elements by mouse with some Chrome extension.
Also, price is very nice for amount of the reports which you can generate.

What do you dislike about the product?
It is not so stable as we want. Every month they have the outages of their site/web-interface, the checks sometimes are failing while everything is completely fine.
Also, the bulk changes are not easy neither through the API not through the web-interface

I use the papertrail extension in Heroku and it works really well, it gives nice reports about what’s happening and what happened with my Rails app.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the output is not helpful, but it was because of how I had configured it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I want to have better coverage of my app, papertrail helps with that.
Amazing and Incredible monitoring tool
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is the most i personally liked it. The way it autodiscover and sagrigate the nodes which makes the admin job more easier. Email alert notification makes the tool more trust worthy. The reportting structure is much more impressive. I would recommend every sys admin to have this tool.

So far every function i liked which is most competative in the market.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Most reliable monitor service
Recommendations to others considering the product:

Visibility we need
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it's a single pane of glass for everything on the network. It allows us to quickly see what's up and down in seconds.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it can run a little slow, but that could be on the back end causing that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's great for alerting us when something is going wrong, when we can't be looking at everything.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Really dive into what it's capable of because it can really bring a lot of benefit.
Solar Winds
What do you like best about the product?
very thorough but key info like Node serial numbers is missing
What do you dislike about the product?
Very slow. We nick named it "slower Winds"
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring capability system wide.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider all aspects before switching
Good tool for overall monitoring, required more administration than I would like
What do you like best about the product?
The server and application monitor module in Solarwinds did a good job in discovering and configuring monitors for servers on our network. There was some configuration needed to get the product properly monitoring different types of servers (Ie SQL, SMTP) and some of the default alert thresholds were not in line with how our environment operates.
What do you dislike about the product?
There was more configuration and monitoring of the tool than expected and we were not staffed to handle the load that created
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Server and Application monitoring for health and uptime
