Happy Spooky Season to those who celebrate! I’m excited to get my Halloween décor up this weekend and see all the kids trick-or-treating at the end of the month. It’s SolarWinds Day again, and this time we cooked up some extra special THWACKcamp Community sessions to follow our keynote with lovely guests from this very community. We hope to see you in the live chat with us today! You can also look forward to seeing the NPS survey in your inboxes soon – we’ve streamlined the process for better customer experience, and we can’t wait to get your feedback.
