Vendr community insights for SolarWinds

Here are some recent insights from our community regarding SolarWinds:

• "We were able to get a flat renewal on our SolarWinds contract. At the last minute, we realized our payment terms were NET30 and we needed NET60. They were very quick to help us out and get this changed!"
• "We were coming off of a heavily discounted 12-month term, and SolarWinds initially imposed a 17% YoY uplift on the rates we had secured last year. We were able to negotiate that down 12% from the initial proposal, plus secure an additional month of maintenance (13 months for the price of 12) which equated to another 8% contract value back."
