Pros

1. Strong focus on innovation: The company is constantly pushing boundaries in network monitoring and management. 2. Customer-centric approach: SolarWinds truly values customer feedback and incorporates it into product development. 3. Collaborative work environment: Cross-functional teams work well together, fostering creativity and problem-solving. 4. Robust on-premises solutions: HCO product is a market leader in its category. 5. New leadership with vision: The recent changes in upper management have brought fresh perspectives and a clear direction for the future. I'm particularly excited about our new leadership team. They've brought in a great vision for building a cutting-edge SaaS platform that will complement our existing on-premises solutions. This strategic move aims to modernize our offerings while maintaining the robustness and reliability our customers have come to expect. The leadership is also focused on elevating our current on-premises solutions to the next level. They understand the importance of supporting our existing customer base while also pushing forward with new technologies. This balanced approach shows a deep understanding of market needs and a commitment to long-term success. Overall, while we face challenges typical of a company in transition, the future looks bright. The combination of our strong existing products, the move towards SaaS, and the visionary new leadership puts SolarWinds in a prime position to continue leading in the network management space.

Cons

1. Legacy systems: Some older infrastructure can slow down development cycles. 2. Transition challenges: Moving from on-premises to SaaS solutions presents its own set of hurdles. 3. Competitive market: The monitoring and observability space is crowded, requiring constant innovation to stay ahead.

Pros

After the Sunburst cyberattack the company has changed a lot. For better. Not only from the sucurity perspective but also the projects we are working are really exciting and could make us a lot of money :)

Cons

Some product management decisions are questionable. A lot of new features are coming from engineering. Which can be a good thing but still we need to validate with the market and I think PM's could do a better job.
