Thanks for spreading the word about
SolarWinds! You've spoken and we are listening to your every comment.
Here's a few of our favorites so far:
"We used CA's Unicenter for years and were
moderately happy with the product. We wanted to do more and spoke with
CA about their new monitoring product at a cost of $45,000. They were
nuts as far as we were concerned. We investigated and decided to go
with Orion®.
It has been fantastic. We ended up purchasing the unlimited product -
it has done a great job for us. It provides all of our infrastructure
monitoring."

"First of all, every SolarWinds product I've ever
used is extremely user-friendly and easy to get setup and running. The
interfaces have always been very intuitive and the documentation
thorough. From an installation standpoint, it really won't be any
easier so, if you can't get Orion
up and running, you should consider finding a new line of work."

"Being part of a large school division, Engineer's
Toolset sometimes comes in handy to find machines
that are causing problems on the WAN. It has also come in handy in
finding students using bandwidth to illegally download music. I would
not trade SolarWinds for the world. I will continually sing its praises
to the masses."

Tip: Orion's Map Maker Feature Helps
Summit Electric Supply Monitor Regional Weather Patterns Affecting
Remote Offices
Summit Electric Supply imports regional weather maps
into their Orion interface to monitor weather patterns that threaten
the network health in remote offices. This helps the IT department
quickly determine if a network issue will pass as the weather passes,
or if they have a more serious problem at hand.
To use weather maps (or any map of your liking) to
monitor the real-time status of nodes on your network, please watch our
Map Maker video tutorial or read the step-by-step instructions in
Chapter 6 of the Orion Administrator's Guide, "Creating Network
Maps."
