AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–SolarWinds, a leading provider of simple, powerful, secure observability and IT management software, announced today it has been recognized in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Observability Platforms. To us, this recognition, provided specifically for SolarWinds, acknowledges our role in empowering businesses with full-stack observability.
Recognized as a Niche player, we feel SolarWinds met several criteria from Gartner, including the ability to:
- Ingest, store, and analyze operation telemetry feeds
- Identify and analyze changes in application, service, and infrastructure behavior
- Enrich telemetry by providing contextualization
- Support the modeling or mapping of relationships
- Collect telemetry from public cloud providers
While SolarWinds is honored to be recognized in the Magic Quadrant, SolarWinds also believes that observability extends beyond just SaaS offerings, as it is not solely a cloud-native function. Some businesses and public agencies may need to maintain on-premises workloads to safeguard proprietary data or comply with regulatory requirements. To achieve true operational resilience, organizations need comprehensive visibility across both cloud and on-premises environments.
Within the last year, SolarWinds has made significant upgrades to enhance both its SaaS and self-hosted Observability options. This includes the implementation of SolarWinds AIto power features such as Root Cause Assist—which streamlines the investigation into underlying issues—as well as AI-powered log insights. SolarWinds also added expanded hybrid IT awareness to improve visibility across both cloud and on-prem workloads.
“We’re proud to be recognized by Gartner for our execution and vision in today’s highly competitive observability market,” said Brian Goldfarb, Chief Marketing Officer at SolarWinds. “Our focus on full visibility across cloud and on-premises is shaped by continuous customer feedback. As the IT landscape evolves, so does the demand for flexible deployment and options that meet security needs. Delivering that flexibility through innovative solutions shows we’re constantly listening and keeping their priorities front and center.”
“We believe our recognition in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant speaks to the constant innovation we strive for,” said Cullen Childress, Chief Product Officer at SolarWinds. “We work every day to deliver industry trusted products that address our customers’ real-world challenges. Observability platforms are foundational to operational resilience and must be practical, comprehensive, and modern.”
