1.What was life like before using SolarWinds? (Include what you were using and why you decided it was time for a change)
Prior to SW I have used Nagios as a monitoring system – Monitoring using Nagios work well for the most part but the overhead to add and configure became time consuming.
2.Which SolarWinds product(s) saved your bacon?
Network Performance Monitoring and the use of Advance Alerts
3.Did you consider other options, and why did you choose SolarWinds?
Did look at others but Solar Winds won as far as usage and other modules such as SAM.
4.How has life been since you've rolled out SolarWinds in your environment?
I know I can count on SolarWinds working for me once I configure a device I can be assured I will know if there is a problem, using the latest version of SAM and NPM.
