    If a backup solution is needed without purchasing an appliance, the Intronis solution does a great job of backing up data and replicating to the cloud. The backup is restricted by total data, so any databases and other items are covered as long as it's under the total data cap.

    Some of equipment does not support correct monitoring of particular errors via standard SNMP requests (example - Juniper SRX licenses expiration). In this case getting and analyzing syslogs as well as creating event-based alerts/notifications brings great relief of a network administrator life! The second case - is a simple analyzing firewall log events as SolarWinds Log Analyzer (LA) can keep logs for a longer time than an equipment built-in tool.

    Cons
    Barracuda Networks Inc.
    • the expanding of the roles that are allowed, just 4 seems to be too limiting
    • integration of the campus should be self service not a email and wait for 24 hour turn around

    The platform was a requirement to get access to the products, but it seemed a bit rushed and some of the feature are not consistent, like the cloud to cloud you need to create an admin for the tech to implement vs the creds passed over from ECHOplatform.

    Based on my personal experience SolorWinds Log Analyzer is the best product on the market. Splunk Enterprise is the other system we use for monitoring but it's more complicated and requires extra skills Moreover Solarwinds Support Team response fast to any issues

    Return on Investment
    Barracuda Networks Inc.
    • This is a great solution for backups when a backup appliance is not necessary (or within economic range).
    • Local NAS replication can provide faster recovery of data in the event of a catastrophy.
