Welcome Page

IT professionals come from all walks of life, work in all manner of industries, and have experiences that make each of them unique. To better understand your personal and professional growth, we’re requesting ten minutes of your time to complete our census.

As compensation for your time, the first 100 respondents will receive a $25 Visa gift card, while supplies last*. Everyone who completes the survey and enters their THWACK username before March 31, 2019 will be rewarded 3,000 THWACK points to use in the store, good towards any purchase you like.

This survey will cover many aspects of your career, not just the parts where SolarWinds plugs in. The IT landscape is constantly changing and new needs are continually emerging. Whether it’s migrating workloads to the cloud, the need for an increased security posture, or optimizing line-of-business applications, we want to know: what are you working on today? What are you anticipating tomorrow? What’s keeping you up at night, looking at the next few years? Let us know and pad your THWACK wallet.
