Targeted at IT professionals and organizations that require robust monitoring capabilities, SolarWinds Observability caters to a wide range of use cases. It is particularly beneficial for businesses operating in hybrid environments, where the integration of on-premises and cloud resources is essential. The solution allows users to gain a holistic view of their networks, applications, databases, and user experiences, thereby facilitating better decision-making and operational efficiency. This is especially crucial in today’s fast-paced digital landscape, where downtime can significantly impact service reliability and customer satisfaction.

We are a user of Solarwinds NPM from last 3+ years. This product is allowing us to monitor 700+ Virtual Firewalls of different vendors hosted as NFV devices on prem. We are able to monitor and act immediately using its integration to create tickets on salesforce and trigger emails. We are also able to generate reports using its easy to use feature.

Auto discovery is one great feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about SolarWinds Observability? Although it has a bigger community where you can find answers to your questions. However, their customer support is not that great. We feel that there is huge delay in raising query vs getting response back from them, We are a regular user of this product..almost daily basis and so we need them to provide us immediate response when in need so that we solve the issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is SolarWinds Observability solving and how is that benefiting you?
