SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor Case Study
This case study of a medium enterprise computer services company is based on a November 2015 survey of SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor customers by TechValidate, a 3rd-party research service. The profiled company asked to have their name blinded to protect their confidentiality.
“A business critical application monitoring was configured, and though Server was working with some overuse or resources, (by generating alerts for it), Application port managed to run with open for connection state. The ability of Solarwinds to run application specific monitoring, queries, was very helpful in a case to detect overall application impact, and notification to a support team quickly.”
“Monitoring job using Solarwinds is very much easier, in comparison with other monitoring tools.”

The surveyed company achieved the following result with SolarWinds System Management:
“SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor makes it simple to assess the health of the applications and servers.”
“The application health overview gives me a quick snapshot of the status of the applications. AppInsight enables me to drill down to the specific service having a problem. Server & Application Monitor is simply the best solution. It provides the best value for money."
“SharePoint web portal wouldn’t launch. Checking on Server & Application Monitor led me to identifying where the issue was and that was the IIS server. I restarted IIS, and the SharePoint application was able to run.”
“The user interface is much better to read and understand. The solution shows real time data. It integrates well with applications, servers, and network devices.”
“SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor solves real world problems by assisting with monitoring and being able to make strategic decisions. This is a great product for monitoring your network / application and server environment.”
“The NOC screen in SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor helps us pick up problems before they start to impact our users and customers.”
“SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor is the best monitoring tool I have ever experienced. Go for it—best product and best technical support on earth.”
“We mostly have the web applications over IIS. The amount of in-depth monitoring available with Server & Application Monitor has really helped us to do proactive resolution.”
“We have an application which was consuming memory, and the applications team was not ready to accept the memory leakage. With the help of Server & Application Monitor, we were able to monitor worker process with ID. The average data we got after two weeks was enough to prove the memory leakage. Thanks to SolarWinds.”
“Every time that we have a location call in and say that they can’t reach the Internet or a network resource, we turn to Server & Application Monitor to begin troubleshooting. SolarWinds saves us so much time diagnosing problems found in our local network, as well as locations that are not close to our home office.”
“We did try to implement Nagios, but found it too difficult to get up and running quickly. SolarWinds was far more user-friendly.”
“SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor allows for proactive resolution of possible application downtime causing problems.”
“I am a big fan of the AppInsight templates, and appreciate having someone building something that makes my job easier.”
“We had an incident with a web server certificate that wasn’t automatically renewing. AppInsight for IIS gave us the time needed to correct the problem before it became an issue.”
“AppInsight templates are easy to configure and install. Without the AppInsight, I would miss key components in creating my own monitors.”
“The built-in templates in Server & Application Monitor have been very useful because I don’t have to create a component monitor by myself; everything is out of the box.”
“It is an easy to configure tool with high performance. This has helped me greatly in my day to day tasks.”
“It is the most complete tool I have used. I would say that it will make your job easier, no doubt.”
“The in-depth dive into the IIS application pools gives a nice heads up. We were able to track down slow response time on web requests and IIS threads.
This is the solution to put your money into. The entire SolarWinds product line has greatly improved the insight into my network and server structures.
I have had zero issues with the usage or implementation of Server & Application Monitor.”
“Server & Application Monitor is a very useful tool.”
“Since I’m a visual person, the graphs, charts, and alerts in Server & Application Monitor were readily visible. We do a lot of monitoring of different types of equipment, and I found SolarWinds easy to setup and get going.”
“Server & Application Monitor is a more comprehensive and intuitive tool than others that I’ve used like Nagios.”
“When our production mail server node went down, the AppInsight for Exchange dashboard in Server & Application Monitor helped us find where the bottleneck was—in cluster or in the application. To handle your data center with ease and effectiveness, you should have SolarWinds.”
“SolarWinds makes it easy to detect the server and application errors in a vast environment, and makes it easy to troubleshoot by allowing us to see the bottlenecks visually. Application warnings are very useful to avoid latency, and the function of alerts for application monitoring is excellent.”
“[SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor] is a very good software.”
“We had a user group complaining about starting an application and the slow performance. Using SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor, I found a highly executed database query that averaged 113,000 ms, which I was able to tune down to 47 ms greatly improving database and application performance.”
“I like having a central focus for where to go to monitor my databases and applications, and SolarWinds delivers just that.”
