"The Redmond Readers Choice Awards (RCAs) aren't about what's cool or hip or
might be big a year or five years from now," said Lee Pender, executive editor of
Redmond magazine. "They're about what works right now, what makes your job easier
and what you use to help you navigate the daily minefield of working in IT."
SolarWinds was awarded the following Windows IT Pro Editor's Best and Community
Choice Awards:
Best Network Management Product
--Editor's Best: Gold for SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor
--Community Choice: Gold for SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor
Best Virtualization Product
--Editor's Best: Bronze for SolarWinds Virtualization Manager
According to Windows IT Pro, "SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor offers
excellent enterprise-class network management capabilities at a reasonable price.
SolarWinds' network management tools have a fan base that just seems to keep
coming back for more. SolarWinds modular design lets you pick and choose exactly
what you need for your business. The product's network maps are particularly
noteworthy, allowing you to pinpoint where problems are occurring in the
environment. SolarWinds' support team is almost legendarily responsive, and the
company's thwack community leads the way in vendor/customer interaction."
In 2011, SolarWinds Virtualization Manager was named "Gold" winner in the
virtualization management category at VMworld, SolarWinds Network Performance
Monitor was named Network Management Product of the Year by UK's Network
Computing, and SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor was named winner of the
Network Monitoring category in the WindowsNetworking.com Reader's Choice Awards.
