Confused about this product.

I'm a little confused about this IP SLA product and the Orion APM, are there overlaps in these products?

We became an Orion customer, today actually yay!, and one thing we wanted to get out of Orion was IPSLA functionality. We arent too interested (yet) in VOIP Monitoring, which from what I read is what IP SLA Manager use to be.

So in the time we started looking at the product and the time we purchased the product this new IP SLA manager product was released, and well, we didnt budget for it. So am I to understand that if we want IP SLA we have to buy this module now? How was IP SLA without VOIP(icmp, dns, tcp, etc) done prior to this product?

The previous VoIP module only did a small subset of possible IP SLA tests (UDP jitter type tests). This was the only module that did IP SLA type operations (it has never been in the core product).

A number of customers (such as ourselves) wanted not only the VoIP function, but also wanted a much more generic IP SLA function - which is exactly what SolarWinds delivered in the IP SLA Manager module (VoIP module replacement).

It now supports a much larger number of IP SLA operations (i.e. icmp, http, ft, dns etc) - and also retains the VoIP specific functions.

So am I day dreaming or was that basic IP SLA functionality in APM before? We'll have to allocate some funds for IPSLA Manager.

The APM module does a lot of things, but IP SLA function has never been one of them sorry.

Well I guess we will be getting the IP SLA Manager
