SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability vs. VuNet Systems

For mid-market and larger, HCO provides a highly available single pane of glass. The user and group management provides a granular ability to deploy to the various areas of the support and engineering teams. Integration to ITSM platforms ensures that information from the platform flows in real time to the right people.

I definitely [recommend] VuNet Systems for the following. 1. Richness of reports. 2. Ease of use. 3. Strong support team. 4. Flexibility in changing the product road map according to our requirements. 5. Acknowledging and Appreciating our feedback. 6. Improving and prioritizing the product features. 7. Brings confidence and confirmations to the decisions.

• unlimited APEs included
• all modules under one platform
• overall cost savings when compared to buying multiple APEs and modules, NetFlow NCM, Ipam, etc.

• VuNet Systems provides real-time visibility on the health and performance of all the components
• Flexibility to ingest data from variety of data sources
• Ability to handle huge volume to data and to integrate with tools like Microsoft teams to get the real-time alerts
• Real-time insights and ease to use tool to perform detail analysis
• Team technical knowledge and capability to implement complex requirements

• Please fix the time zones issue. Events are in UTC, Charts in the user's Local Time, Alerts come in through with Main Server timestamp - it's all over the place & it's been like that for so long. We are a large corp, the teams span time zones and trying to work with teams across the globe is made so difficult by this.
• The inability to ingest the tags from AWS Cloud watch and the countless posts / feature requests on thwack complaining about this that just get ignored. It's such a basic feature of Cloud & I don't want to have to own a different product to use such an fundamental part of cloud.
• Maintenance Windows - why can we not set a reoccurring window from the web ui in 2022?
• SAM - Manage applications, why is there no search bar to filter through applications. When you scale out to enterprise size this is so annoying trying to guess which page to land on to find the application / device I'm looking for.

• Half baked features being released - Log Analyzer shipped with no resources for the node details page. The Free version from 2016 had more available in it.

• Some of the items being worked on in the roadmap include automated discovery, improved correlation and automated resolution of incidents.
• VuNet Systems platform does not provide code level visibility. They are not in this space.

- decent ease of use - good training materials - good documentation - acceptable level of expected knowledge

Comparably the tool is simple to configure and roll out. It does the heavy duty analysis and provides actionable insights. Features to feed insights, fine tune the log interpretation, reminder service to adjust the threshold levels for a workload performance need to be added. Training programs for Monitoring teams if improved this could be an amazing tool for DC elements and IT teams

Given this rating because they have provided us great support throughout the implementation process and post-implementation as well.

Solarwinds has the best overlap of the two others I've mentioned - the other two tools (Datadog and Dynatrace) are great in their own way but Solarwinds is just good at everything; if I had to pick one tool of the above, it would be Solarwinds for the compatibility and ease of use, the other tools are more focused on being great at certain things while Solarwinds is the jack of all trades.

• Helps us maintain application availability
• Helps us shorten unplanned downtime
• Provides these benefits at a fair price

• We can say it had a very positive impact if we are speaking in terms of ROI. As the result that we got for the time and efforts invested in implementing VuNet in our organization is really great.
