What Module functionality is included in the Enterprise Advanced?

Question

To help us compare apples to apples what module functionality is included in the Enterprise Advanced?

tony.johnson · Answer

Both Hybrid Cloud Observability Essentials and Advanced use node-based licensing. 
 Essentials provides the following set of features: 
 
 Infrastructure, network, and application performance observability 
 Physical and virtual hosts, device, and VoIP monitoring 
 Application-centric database monitoring 
 IP address management 
 Log management and analysis 
 Distributed polling for remote environments 
 
 For those familiar with individual module licenses, this can be considered NPM, SAM, LA, IPAM, UDT, VNQM 
 Advanced includes all the features of essentials in addition to: 
 
 Network flow and bandwidth observability 
 Virtualization performance management 
 Configuration management for networks, servers, and applications 
 
 Consider these as NCM, VMAN, SCM 
 The enterprise-scale option available for both Essentials and Advanced provides entitlement to additional polling engines, High availability, additional web servers, and EOC.

Module speaking? If I recall correctly, HCO:AE (Hybrid Cloud Observability - Advanced Enterprise) should come with the following: 
 
 NPM (Network Performance Monitor) 
 NTA (Netflow Traffic Analyzer) 
 NCM (Network Configuration Manager) 
 LA (Log Analyzer) 
 IPAM (IP Address Manager) 
 UDT (User Device Tracker) 
 VNQM (VoIP and Network Quality Manager) 
 SAM (Server Application Monitor) 
 SCM (Server Configuration Monitor) 
 VMAN (Virtualization Manager) 
 
 And will support the previous integrations to other stand alone products (with some new ones added!) 
 
 DPA (Database Performance Analyzer) 
 PM (Patch Manager) 
 WTS (Web Toolset) 
 ARM (Access Rights Manager - New integration) 
 SEM (Security and Event Manager - New integration) 
 
 NOT INCLUDED in HCO: 
 
 SRM (Storage Resource Monitor) 
 WPM (Web Performance Monitor 
 
 The Enterprise Scalability add-on (This can be added to either Essentials or Advanced, in our case we're looking at Advanced, hence Advanced Enterprise) gives you: 
 
 APE's (Additional Polling Engines - Can be added as needed) 
 AWS (Additional Web Servers - Can be added as needed ) 
 HA (High Availability - Can be added as needed ) 
 EOC (Enterprise Operations Console - 1 License) 
 Lab License (250 nodes) 
 Premier Support 
 
 One of the greatest features in HCO in my opinion .. is the simplified licensing! Now you don't have to worry about how many interfaces I wanna monitor with NPM .. or the number of active IP addresses for IPAM, or the number of physical CPU sockets for VMAN, it's all just nodes now. AND! You have one SKU that you can manage for renewals across any number of instances of SolarWinds that you have. So .. if I have two separate instances of SolarWinds that I manage, I just need to total up the nodes between them both (Let's say 500) I get one SKU for HCO:AE 500 (Just an example, not sure if they have a 500 tier) And I can split that up in my customer portal to say, 'Hey I wanna have 300 nodes here for my primary instance, and my second instance will have 200.' It'll split you off a license for each instance and if I need to add more nodes later, I just add more. Now I don't have to juggle all these different individual licenses at different tiers, and remember which set went to which instance.
