Solutions Studio
The Solutions Studio (SS) allows administrators to either create new or tweak existing solutions. Editing an existing solution is very straightforward. On the other hand, creating a new solution to fit your organization's specific needs can be time consuming and daunting. With the number of sensors and solutions predefined, it would take a very specialized computing scenario to merit the creation of a new solution or sensor--a testament to the extensive options that HMS and the SS have predefined.
System administrators should take note of HMS and relish the fact that one application can perform all application and server monitoring within their organization. The Web interface's ease of use and the ability to create new solutions from the SS also should direct system administrators' attention to HMS. In the future, it would be nice if HMS ditched its management console and moved completely to the Web interface.
