The ability to proactively monitor and manage our infrastructure is key to our success. Sam has allowed us to utilize the tool to gain this advantage. Not only are we able to solve our issue of being reactive but we'd also able to use the analytics from their reports to gain better insight on the performance of our infrastructure and achieve improved capacity planning and automation of certain processes.

Do a proper evaluation before implementing the tool, as with any other solution you might consider. Analyze there pros and cons to see if it fits in line with your specifications and meet your expectations in an remote monitoring and management tool.

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.

What do you dislike about the product?
Too much time to setup and maintain. Alert spam is really easy to run into. Dependancies do not seem to work as well as expected. It talks a little too long to configure everything. The UI doesn't feel modern. Nothing to differentiate it from the competitors.
The renewal pricing could be better.
The sales practices and renewal tactics are very annoying. I would recommend if using the product to engage a reseller and have all interaction through them to create a buffer.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving event management and incident response. It allows IT to proactively respond to events before our customer report there is an issue. The Solarwinds Server and Application monitor solution delivers on these business objectives.
It is hard to monitor ROI on something like this. We all need a solution and they all seem to be similarly priced.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider the time to create monitoring and maintain the system. Items like dependancies are difficult to setup correctly. The alert span is really easy. Solarwinds sales tactics and practices are very annoying.
All the on-premise solutions are similar in pricing with the same features. It is hard to say one is poor vs another. Solarwinds will delivery, but so will their competitors, find the solution that fits your staffing and company.
