MAC version of the tool

Hello ,

I am a MAC user and I wanted to know , If I could find the MAC versions of the free tools that are available. If so where. I want to test them out and buy other Orion products for implementing in my next project.

thanks

Sorry, our products and tools only run on Windows OS.

Hi Dhruva--

There are not any MAC versions of our products. I'll let the PMs know about your post so that can add it to their feature requests.

If you know of other customers who want MAC support, have them post here.

While I use most of my tools inside a windows VM, I'd love native MacOS tools myself.

Thank you Marie. I would really appreciate it if Solar Winds has products that are supported on MAC too. I am obsessed with it and use it for most of my LAN/WAN stuff. We are about to implement a project for a School district where we have Mac's as well as PC's. So for Network Monitoring Tools, traffic Analyzers etc I suggested products of Solar Winds. But I just got to know that these do not support Mac's. I would appreciate if you could really look into the issue.

Ohh you have windows installed, cool. But I, like you want to use the native tools on MAC. it wud be great.

As Mac OS is growing by leaps and bounds in the technical community does SolarWinds have plans to port the tools over to Mac support? I too am running my SW tools within a Windows VM inside of OS X, but would prefer not to have to do that. Even SecureCRT has a Mac version!

On a semi-related what about support for iOS? It would also be nice to have iPhone/iPad apps.

I have been eagerly waiting for Mac OS supported SW tools too. I have a Windows VM on my Mac specifically so I can run SW tools, but would prefer to stay in the native OS for everything. Even Secure CRT supports Mac now!

What about iOS support? I'd love to have some of the SW tools on my iPhone/iPad too.

This is a thread from over 5 years ago - I am guessing that there has been no changes from SolarWinds around providing MAC related tools..?

Most good engineers I know use MACs..

Would be good to get an update.

a Windows vm on a MAC is not a solution BTW.

The free tools mostly seem to be used to drive users toward the full paid products. The full products are very heavily embedded in a Microsoft Windows Server type ecosystem. I would be surprised if the devs find there is a significant ROI on porting everything over at this point.
