Network Administrator Information Technology and Services Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 6/28/2025 "Robust monitoring with great dashboards and alerts" 5/5 What do you like best about SolarWinds Observability? I particularly like the clean, customizable dashboards that make it easy to view infrastructure health at a glance. Alerting is well done and versatile, enabling us to detect issues before they affect users. It works well in cloud environments and other SolarWinds solutions, making consolidating monitoring in one place easier. Implementation was relatively easy for the team. We use it daily to monitor servers and services, which has improved our response times. Their customer support is also responsive and helpful when we run into issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about SolarWinds Observability? The expense can be steep for tiny teams, especially with more modules. Due to so many features and choices, bringing on new users can be challenging. The interface can sometimes seem a bit dated in certain places compared to newer competitor systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is SolarWinds Observability solving and how is that benefiting you? SolarWinds Observability addresses the challenge of monitoring mixed environments of systems and devices from a single console. Previously, we required various tools for monitoring cloud infrastructure, network, and endpoint management, and it was difficult to have a single pane of glass for health and performance. By consolidating monitoring into one place, it improves our ability to rapidly identify and respond to issues, reduces downtime, and simplifies our operational workflows. This has allowed us to offer more stable services to our users and to spend less time on troubleshooting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sr.developer Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 7/15/2025 "Solarwinds integration with Servicenow" 2.5/5 What do you like best about SolarWinds Observability? We used the integration between SolarWinds and ServiceNow and it was of great help. We had a case for a data center, there each and every alert is important. And it created Incidents in ServiceNow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about SolarWinds Observability? The tool of SolarWinds, is not that fast-working tool, for integrations but the field level configurations handle all of the issues. but the field we configure is trickier and not user friendly to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is SolarWinds Observability solving and how is that benefiting you? As mentioned earlier, we have been using the integration and every small server or any tool in the data center is down for one second, an alert is triggered in SolarWinds and that trigger and creates an Incident in ServiceNow. That specific incident, is assigned to the groups/user and emails are triggered to an individual and the person or the group of people works on the RCA and has been managed in ServiceNow tool.

Systems Engineer Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 6/24/2025 "Great monitoring product!" 4/5 What do you like best about SolarWinds Observability? SolarWinds Observability has been a game changer for our infrastructure monitoring. The most helpful aspect is the unified view it provides across metrics, logs, and traces, which makes troubleshooting and root cause analysis much faster. The customizable dashboards and real-time alerts are easy to configure and keep our teams proactive. Upsides include its scalability, ease of deployment, and clear visibility into both cloud and on-prem environments. It’s helped us reduce downtime and improve performance monitoring significantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about SolarWinds Observability? The user interface can feel a bit cluttered at times, especially for new users who are still learning their way around. Some of the more advanced features require a steeper learning curve or deeper customization. Integration with certain third-party tools isn't as seamless as we'd like, and pricing can get high as more features and nodes are added. Occasional delays in data sync or alerting have also been noticed during peak usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is SolarWinds Observability solving and how is that benefiting you? SolarWinds Observability helps us tackle the challenge of managing complex, hybrid IT environments by consolidating monitoring for infrastructure, applications, networks, and cloud services into a single platform. Before, we had to use multiple tools, which made it harder to correlate issues across systems. Now, with unified visibility and cross-domain insights, we can identify performance bottlenecks, spot anomalies quickly, and reduce downtime. It’s improved collaboration across teams, accelerated root cause analysis, and helped us be more proactive rather than reactive in maintaining service health.
