Also, you know that feature requests in the community go nowhere. Submit this through the product or it will get no attention. (Submitting through the product also gets no attention, but that's at least the way LM has said features have to be submitted to even get considered)
Yes - I love not having to worry about maintaining servers for monitoring and I love having access to support technicians that are competent, but I still don't see feature parity with our previous monitoring platform, Solarwinds, and it's kind of frustrating.
The reporting experience in Solarwinds is much better and I see no signs of reporting getting any improvements in LM in the near future. Right now I can't get the bandwidth report to output data in an order that makes sense; I've had technicians look at this with me several times starting during our POV and every time it ends with "put in a feature request" for something as basic as sorting by alphabetical or numerical order.
There are other basic things I could get from Solarwinds that just aren't as simple to get in LM right now too. My onboarding tech definitely tried their best to replicate some of them, but the limitations just make it too convoluted to make them happen right now (in my opinion). It's useful to have a routing table or a list of what VLANs are on what ports. It's useful that there is a basic credential manager so I can see some stats on where different credentials are being used on what and just update them in one spot. The screens for devices and interfaces letting me put whatever I want on them wherever I want is nice too.
Didn't mean for this to become such a rant, however I do feel like I was there was a lot of promises for some of these things and I just am not seeing the progress on them I'd hoped for
