Need more reports on "content exchange" on thwack site

forks

I have managed to pull a few good reports from thwack under content exchange that peeople have shared, but I would have thought with so many people using Orion that there would be more reports available....and why doesn't Solarwinds continue to develop new reports and make them available?  I think this is a missed costumer service opportunity and would provide a lot of value.

I'd like to encourage everyone to share their reports they have created with Orion.  I think there would be MANY people who would appreciate it very much, starting with me.

thanks for considering.

why doesn't Solarwinds continue to develop new reports and make them available?

But we do.  We shipped half-a-dozen new reports with v9.1.  Could we do more reports?  Sure.  We could always do more.  But we can't really consider reports in isolation.  Reports are just one feature, and we have to rank a report against all other features.  So we do some, but we try to focus on maximizing the value of our work to the largest number of customers.

Let me say that I heartily agree with the sentiment regarding sharing of reports.  Please share.  If you created a report, upload it to the content exchange.  Let others benefit from your effort.  Even if you think it was simple, someone else may not and would greatly appreciate your effort.  One of the tricks of report creation is that everyone's needs are a little different so it's hard for a vendor to build everything the community needs, but if the community provides for each other, it's a lot easier to create a fairly comprehensive set of reports.
