SolarWinds Observability Overview

What is SolarWinds Observability?

SolarWinds® Observability is a full-stack observability solution that addresses the needs of modern organizations of all sizes by providing deep visibility into their hybrid ecosystems while affording the utmost flexibility in how their solution is deployed. SolarWinds Observability delivers expanded monitoring and management of both on-prem and cloud environments to help you optimize performance and ensure availability across today’s modern, distributed hybrid IT infrastructures. With built-in intelligence leveraging AIOps-powered capabilities, SolarWinds Observability is designed to accelerate issue remediation by helping you detect, troubleshoot, and resolve problems faster and more efficiently. Key Benefits: - Reduce downtime and improve service reliability with comprehensive, full-stack hybrid IT visibility: Gain a holistic view of your networks, on-prem and cloud infrastructure, applications, logs, digital user experience, databases, and security (some capabilities require additional purchase and integration with other SolarWinds products). - Flexibility to monitor and observe your way: Our service is available in two deployment options (self-hosted and SaaS) to suit your needs. While both options provide comprehensive visibility across hybrid IT environments, our self-hosted option integrates with other self-hosted SolarWinds services, such as security and storage monitoring. In contrast, our SaaS option delivers deeper monitoring for custom and cloud-based applications and user experience. - Increase operational efficiency with built-in intelligence and ever-evolving AI/ML: SolarWinds is continually enhancing its machine learning capabilities, including advanced predictive analysis, which can help prevent issues before they impact your customers. In addition, anomaly-based alerts and log pattern analysis improve decision-making and reduce the time it takes to troubleshoot a problem. - Reduce costs: Eliminate the need for multiple monitoring tools with a single, integrated solution.

Organizations often end up relying on multiple disparate solutions to manage the different aspects of their technology stack, leading to information siloes and visibility gaps.
