description: SolarWinds sells a broad portfolio (Observability, Hybrid Cloud Observability, Service Desk,
  Database Performance Analyzer, Pingdom, Loggly, Papertrail, NPM, IPAM, NCM, SAM, AppOptics) under a
  mix of perpetual licenses and subscription SKUs. solarwinds.com publicly directs prospects to "Get
  a quote" / Contact Sales for most products; specific list prices are not consistently published. Pingdom
  and Papertrail historically have published self-serve tier pricing, but the broader catalog is contact-sales.

notes: solarwinds.com/pricing and product pricing pages returned 403 to automated retrieval, so per-product
  list prices could not be reconciled. Trimmed to a single Contact Sales plan referencing the legal entity;
  reconciled is false. Update once a product-specific price page is fetched and parsed.
