SolarWinds (NYSE:SWI), a leading provider of powerful and affordable IT management software, today announced TrustRadius® has named five of its IT operations management and one of its Managed Service Provider (MSP) products across seven categories as 2020 Top Rated award recipients. In addition, TrustRadius has certified SolarWinds as part of its newly established TRUE program, which recognizes vendors who are Transparent, Responsive, Unbiased, and Ethical in sourcing and using customer reviews.
“SolarWinds has been helping tech pros solve their IT management challenges for more than 20 years, so these distinctions represent the most validating recognition possible because of the source–end users from organizations of every size, region, and industry,” said Lee McClendon, SVP, product, IT operations management, SolarWinds. “Now more than ever given the current economic conditions, IT pros need to trust they’re making the right investments for their businesses. We believe these peer-validated products, combined with SolarWinds commitment to making our products accessible for nearly any budget, will help ease the decision-making process for IT pros looking to move their business forward.”

Hear from verified users on how much they value each product:
SolarWinds SAM:
“SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor (SAM) is used by IT to monitor our system that provides the services to the business. With having a non-profit budget (and personnel can be tight) as well as being in retail the need to be able to bring money is in critical. With SAM we are able to monitor our services that allow us to continue business. With what SAM can do for us we are able to monitor everything with little interaction.”
– Ethan Beach, Senior Network Admin, Goodwill of Central Arizona

SolarWinds Service Desk:
“The application is primarily used for handling inbound IT requests from across the Enterprise. We also have other non-IT related departments that have been able to use it to manage their own business requests. We find that Service Desk helps us to organize our work, utilize skill based routing, manage priorities, provide greater visibility and coverage (from management and other team members), and provide reporting and metrics that we didn’t have before.”
– Dave Pekol, Director IT Operations, Ergon Oil and Energy

SolarWinds NPM:
“Our organization uses SolarWinds to gain visibility into the performance of the network and to alert us to problems an outages. This helps us be proactive in identifying issues within the network and quickly address them. NPM offers high visibility into our network with a user-friendly interface. The product offers a high level of customizability allowing us to hone the monitoring and alerting to meet our needs. Getting the product up and running is pretty straightforward. The learning curve comes in when honing your monitoring. Support is responsive and reliable. The THWACK community also offers helps for deployment and management questions. The interface offers loads of charts and graphs allowing you to show how your network and key interfaces are performing. This is especially helpful when you are presenting to senior-level management and team member who may not fully understand networking.”

SolarWinds SEM:
“[SEM] allows us to monitor daily issues and hiccups so that we can address them from anywhere in the country.

– Steven Pangilinan, Systems Administrator, AdComp Systems Group
