I think you need both - like you called out above sometimes internal perspective is not what your external customers are seeing or the issue they are seeing. We use a combination of internal tools and SAAS based tools. I have my Orion tools looking at the internal components , servers , circuits , applications and I have…

Not my full time job but i am the point person to make sure its running and updated and we are getting or ROI which we essentially got once I ran the trial version before purchasing like ^ we found some issues right away and boom was granted the funds to buy and install. We use M/M at our data center and also rely on there…

Was unity addressed we are moving away from our VNX to a unity in the near future - really near future and have upcoming renew and really need to make a decision

We have been trying to get all our support teams including the App Dev teams looking at the tools we use some have bought into this frame but most look at it the typical way " someone else should be watching them " I have used the ability to use external links in Orion to add these other tools into the dashboard at least…

In my past roles as incident manger the focus was always availability got to have those 3 or 4 9's a month - but as I progressed along my IT path i have looked back at availability and said its only half the picture yes the stuff is up but is the customer or end user have a good experience are we providing the service they…

20 days still no updates - I am glad I only purchased a small foot print of this product will be looking at alertsite and gomez again.

i would love to see this as well as my CIO wanted this to be in his view

Thanks Peter for the revert ... just would like a road map or forward facing outlook on where you guys are going to take this product or where you would like to take this product. I have no feed back as I have no used it but we are looking into web transaction monitoring and web page availability monitoring. I am using…

hey aLTeReGo can someone explain the sensors and agents .. the ones for SAM and NPM I assume are some what the same .. What do they write to , do they change any configurations especially the HTTP one ..

Yes it does - i get the agent to see my application as well bowser and RUM and can toss an agent on and get server info as well for free. Now they will tell you that is not where they excel in but it does give you some CPU , Memory , Disk and network data as well. My sales person told me he has a few customers that do the…

agreed this test or dev license would have helped me out a few times in the old job and the new place .. I see no reason if I own the product and have paid for the product and I am current on my support that I can not run a Dev\stg environment to test upgrades and customize alerts , reports , views or tweak thing before i…

yes it happens all the time when we start going down the RCA road - it turns into its infrastructure /Applications donny brook . I tend to walk into those meetings if I am invited ( dont ask the monitoring guy ) to join. I will bring the data i am seeing off the server , CPU , Memory , IOPS , Network stats and Netflow to…

I would also love this as well

so we are looking at this product to help with some reporting and oversight into our VM environment - we have a few other Solarwinds products to and like how it ties into the NPM console as well - we are also looking at Vmturbo as someone in our org downloaded a trial - any documentation on how you guys differ , why you…

Yea I am ok for paying for extra ones if I need them but the ones I do get free , the current license model should have been taken into consideration... NPM/NTA unlimited license should get a few more for free as I already pay a lot for those renewal's and adding the extra pollers ..

we just started to discuss this internally - as more and more application teams focus on getting those web pages and apps to work in a mobile devices and more and more people want to access with phones , tablets etc ... I think its important to know what devices people are using , whats the experience and what carriers are…

Very excited to this exchange stuff ... I would love to see IIS , Active Directory , .net .. great stuff !!!!

its actually to bad because we were going to increase our license count due to some other business units interested in some small transactional stuff

well I specified in my application settings ( web config ) for my site a New relic setting to monitor solarwinds web and when the agent got installed or the sensor it removed that setting from the application settings

looking forward to more discussion on DPI - i assume we will see this in NTA or NPM soon

So at least you guys purchased Pingdom today so I assume we will some shifts with this product ......

any update yet - my original request was back in December and i see a lot of its coming stay tuned but I see nothing other then talk.

I have a NPM , SAM , NTA , WPM and just purchased ignite - NPM, NTA , SAM - all unlimited , WPM-50 CAL , Ignite 50 instances for SQL All these products are under support and I pay a pretty penny every year for annual maintenance and with that i should be able to install the products in a DEV environment with some…

any update Peter , Craig ... its been once again a month with no update or response...... the recorder breaks when working with IE 11 when is that going to be addressed , ..where is these new features , why should i keep trying to convince me director to use this tool and I am this close of going to my sales rep and asking…

I would disagree with that statement as I was already upgraded to NPM and recently started to play around with the added agents and sensors .. the agent or sensor removed the new relic configuration in the application settings of both my web servers.

My previous job i managed a NOC out of the Philippines and we were heavy Solarwind's shop and even used loop a few times to health check and training - so coming into the new job and tool sprawl everywhere and no solid process or ownership. I started putting a few one pagers together for my director and the CIO on how…

When I first got here to this new company - tool sprawl was unreal - Nagios , Whats up Gold , IP monitoring , Netflow , NPM , alertra , opsview - with only bits and pieces being monitored and no process around. We had about 100 devices in NPM when i started with no active alerting or reporting. We decided to consolidate…
