A lot of good information!
What do you like best about the product?
I like how well it keeps track of our storage, letting us know if there are any issues. The predictions on disks/volumes filling up are useful for capacity planning purposes. I also really like the Performance Analyzer, which is driven by the new metrics features - the ability to drag and drop various metrics and rearrange things easily is a fabulous feature. The ability to have more than just one manufacturer's worth of storage listed and compared is very handy, giving us the ability to see the whole environment instead of just pieces.
What do you dislike about the product?
The appstack displays seem to not always accurately portray our environment at the higher abstraction levels (meaning at the application layers), though it's usually close enough to be useful. In some cases it seems to have its own look and feel to it, which isn't necessarily bad but isn't like the rest of the SW suite.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As mentioned, using it for capacity management and planning has more than paid for its additional cost. We can see at a glance what LUNs are more filled and which are less, how long we expect it to be before we'll have to add space, and can really dig into performance characteristics far more easily than it had been using our SAN-vendor's tools.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
While I haven't seen them recently, I was pleasantly surprised that the demos and screenshots really do give you a decent feel for what the product really brings to the table. I suspect this is still the case, so I suggest to get on the phone with your SW rep and see if you can swing a demonstration!
Solarwinds was a good product to see server status at a glance
