I’m already following you guys…here’s my comment. How about $100. :wink:

4

Trying out some of our free tools! They look promising,

5

i’ve tried the WOL and VM Monitor, good tools!

6

Pretty cool stuff, especially for free. I’m definitely a fan.

7

We use the Network monitor at work. Easy way to view all servers first thing in the morning. And can create alerts which is very helpful.

8

Love the solarwinds tools. Its one of the first suit of tools I install.

9

I’m System Engineer. I didn’t use any solarwinds tools yet but I will try the free one in the next few days.

10

SolarWinds Orion is top notch!

11

Thanks for the comments, guys. We would love to hear more about what SolarWinds products you use, what problems they have helped you solve, and any other anecdotes about your experience with us. We really appreciate the feedback and thanks so much for the follow as well.

Real-time NetFlow Analyzer is awesome! You can use it to explore exactly how your bandwidth is being used and by whom.

13

I have used the TFTP server for years while managing a Cisco PIX515e to upload and download configurations. Worked like a champ. Finally also started using it to upload firmware to printers. Checked out a couple of other free tools including the Exchange monitor, but didn’t have the monitor space to keep it going. Always check the site for new ones though as they are usually top notch.

We demo Orion at the end of last year and we liked it a lot. Unfortunately it did not make this year budget, maybe next year. We still use VMmonitor and other free products. Hyper9 looked like a cool software before it was purchased.

15

The network monitor is a great tool. Easy to use, does what its supposed to, and its free!

16

Great stuff, guys. Also, TFTP is up there as one of our most popular free tools ever.

17

We are currently running a number of free tools from SolarWinds (TFTP server, IP address tracker, WakeOnLAN, Permissions Analyzer for AD, WMI monitor) and we know we can rely on them. Good work.

I had my first experience with Solarwinds 10 years ago. We were using Solarwinds to monitor bandwidth utilization on 35 different WAN routers. I’ve been a fan ever since. We use Solarwinds Orion with Netflow Analyzer to answer all of the “why is the internet slow?” questions. It has been extremely helpful in answering the C-level questions about bandwidth overage charges.

tried Kiwi Sys logger, but cant figure out how to keep the log… but have used tftp server

Thanks for the additional feedback, guys. @SmartKid808: You might want to post to our thwack community (http://thwack.com/) with any questions about Kiwi. Folks there might be able to help you.

Today is the final day for our sweepstakes! We will be randomly selecting and contacting winners tomorrow.
