Your logs: searchable, alertable, actionable
What do you like best about the product?
Papertrail makes it incredibly easy to search your application logs. Logs are often the only way we have to answer crucial questions about how our application behaves in production: what happened? to whom? why? how many times? what were the effects? But it isn't always straightforward to get those answers out of logs. This is where Papertrail comes in. Send your logs to Papertrail and get access to them in near-real-time, with the ability to search by process, host, time (in natural language!) and a rich query syntax so you can narrow down exactly the event you're looking for and get a shareable link to it in your logs with all of the context.
What do you dislike about the product?
Papertrail doesn't yet support searching by regular expression, which, while not a necessity, would sometimes be handy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working with a dozen developers on a multitude of applications, Papertrail gives my team an easy, familiar way to find and share log events when we're reviewing code, diagnosing issues, or otherwise need a way to see what our applications are doing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try their free plan and you'll see! Paid plans offer longer retention, but you can see all the benefits on the free plan.
All Your Network Monitoring Needs at a Glance
What do you like best about the product?
SolarWinds gives you a lot of information packed in a very visually friendly format. If you require more detail, most of the areas are expandable.
What do you dislike about the product?
My biggest gripe that I have with SolarWinds is that the report function is really hard to use if you are an intermediate user. While the report function is extremely powerful, customizing it to your needs will take a little bit of work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use SolarWinds to monitor the health of various nodes across the network.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend that you send the SolarWinds administrators to the education courses offered because they will be your first point of contact if the software breaks. Also, the networking staff will come to see this as a critical tool in short order, so the maximum downtime allowable will also have to be minimized.

Aggressive sales team. We use the VoIP and Network Quality Mgr as well and get regular sales calls and emails pushing other products. We have what we need so the constant sales pitches get annoying.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Product provides a great set of tools for alerting but need to be set carefully to balance the amount of alerts otherwise you can get too many alerts that are not critical.

Does what it is advertised to do
What do you like best about the product?
Very useful tool to automatically a scan large number of subnets and the option to import CSV files rather than having to manually enter in each subnet for scanning. A good dynamic alternative to tracking basic IP address assignment/usage than say a spreadsheet. It's easy to use, tracks historical records of IP addresses from the most recent scan and allows comments to be added to each.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's isn't much to not like about this product since it's made for a fairly specific purpose (IP address management) and it does what it was made to do. It would be nice if the subnet scanner can also process host names or fully qualified domain names rather than strictly IP addresses.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use this application as a tool to track IP address usage for a large number of subnets; some are DHCP-enabled while others are not. A lot of times when workstations with statically-assigned IP addresses are decommissioned, the IP address database may not be updated. Over time, a large number of dormant IP addresses will remain in the database, which becomes challenging when the number of available addresses in a given subnet runs low,. This tools allows us to locate these dormant IP addresses and make them available for use again.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The IP Address Tracker is a free alternative to the full-fledged IP Address Manager for users wanting to scan subnets manually and only requiring basic IP address management.
